Lifter Gets Caught Wearing Wraps Under Knee Sleeves 

I blame social media for stuff like this lol.

@@Mfitzy Bro, ANIMAL was going to sponsor him if he broke 1400 at this meet. It’s about how bad you want it....

@@jacobwilson7030 you just disproved your initial statement by saying that lol

lol dying at this comment

@@titoslounge1946 Haha

Dude if you've ever seen anyone try to walk in knee wraps it is super obvious! You literally can't bend your knees. This guy would have looked ridiculous walking up to the mono

@@liamsloan5410 yes

He probably got suspicious on the walk out to be honest

The judge would be like, let him do his stuff first then we'll catch the shit out of him😂

@@liamsloan5410 a week ago a lifter used a spingshot and none of the judges noticed, but some powerlifter/runner noticed.

😂

This actually made me laugh out loud 😂😂😂

Ok I see you dr suess

He must watch OE fitness

Haha nice

Ok vegoon

Wtf youre a strong ass herbivore

@@wonjoo5885 thanks man!

@@Aron-ve5fe what does that have to do with anything? Haha

@@Mfitzy You want to stop us from consuming the food we want and need. You think its welcome?

That would be so cool

Would be a shame if that chrome knee got rusty...

He is referring to the footage in which the cheating takes place. Couldn't figure that one out from the context, eh Einstein?

@@jailepouvoir1990 actually in the time length of the actual video the commenter is referring to, it is indeed half way through the video. Hope this further expands your education. In the future, if you can’t comprehend the joke, don’t be a downer.

@@badnewzbandits3053 to be fair, the length of the vids just below 3 minutes😏

When he said that I looked and seen the red bar halfway through lol I thought that was funny also

Istg😂

Or "but I have great genetics and work harder than everyone else"

He should've just took some hgh during the off season.

@@criticalcerebral he probably already does and is just not that good at the sport lmao

Those aren’t my wraps! These aren’t even my pants!

No he wasn't. He just has a guilty look on his face. Why u make things up for likes?

@@7seasons31 In the original video you can hear the judge talking to the panel. This is a Moscow meet so I needed someone who understood Russian to translate what the head judge said.

@@TIKOMIX I picked that up, I assume Phillip Berg is suffering from a failure of imagination

Dang bro chill.

@@7seasons31 get the picture sure, but some might be curious as to the specifics, no?

@@7seasons31 some of us want to hear exactly what he said word for word

it just proofs how much genetics has in play

@@ollvi and, in some cases drugs

@@joebloggs6922 Most.

@@jgun4125 99%

Bro those numbers on that kid are horse shit. There’s no fucking way he weighs 194 lbs...Also he’s got 3 plates on each side. The bar looks like a 45 lb maybe 25 lb bar. At most he’s got 315 on it. Soooooo idk why they lied, you can see the plates and add it up lol.

Hopefully lifting that much so early in his life doesn't affect his bones

@@spencer4679 it actually increases bone density

Also 88 kg at 12. Kid is gonna be like 200 during his prime lol

@@tvnja no chance he weighs 88kg

Quite amazing

It is stupid idea even now. Sometimes it is very hard to lower knee sleev if its very tight.

A quick inspection is better, like the TSA do. Stick their fingers in there to make sure there's no wraps without compromising the fit.

@Rodrigo Neves Hermida If you compete at IPF referee can get to warmup room and see you when putting on sleeves.

That would seem like the easiest way to stop it.

A better idea would be to have them lower it after the lift before leaving the platform like this referee did.

He shouldn’t of cheated but they could of found a way to disqualify him discreetly and ban him from their federation. Hopefully he would of learned from that. But now everyone knows and he’s screwed.

@@jakester5382 I know what you mean, but let's be honest, he deserve it.

Man ended his own career

@@jakester5382 if they did it discreetly he will go about fighting it and denying it later. The only way to do it was this way. Keeps up the reputation of the federation and gives a heads up to any potential people interested to be cheating. If somebody is willing to do such things they should be ready to face the storm. Stop b3ing a snow flake.

Judge: Hold my beer.....

*too

@@wileecoyote5749 That's the only error you found? Yikes!

@@otallono teach us the error of our ways

Powerlifting is an awesome.sport..but the have made it a joke..To make it good they should ban any kind of equipment used such us belt knee sleeves or anything else..and force competitors to squat at full.depth which does not happen..

Dude would have been walking up to the mono like the tin man if those wraps were as tight as they needed to be

@Alex Millan i was 200lbs at 12 just fat tho 😂😂😂

Not many I guess. At least in respectable competitions because they have experienced judges.

It's possible people would sneak fairly short, light wraps under sleeves, but you can't put serious wraps under them because everyone would be able to tell from the way you walk (like you had wooden legs, can't bend your knees at all). We only see this guy doing the squat and then walking off after he was already caught, but maybe the way he walked up to the bar is how the judge spotted the wraps. Obviously he got more pop out of the hole too, but I think that's harder to tell unless you are familiar with the person's normal, non-wrap squats.

Never thought I'd find you in a weightlifting video.

@@randel9658 he's all over weightlifting videos

@@papi_dummy Although I watch lifting videos quite often, I didn't notice he was lurking down the comment section. I usually see this guy in anime videos.

Lol fr

Oh yeah he is mister know it all

You do know that he won the biggest natural bodybuilder right

@@michelronyjr3140 Thank you Junior!

Dont be jealous he's a legend regardless we all know he's not natty.

Lmao

jordiliftz pulled 260 at 15 and liam newell 340 at 17 so im not impressed anymore

He looks fairly normal too, I'm sure he could make some money winning bets at the gym

@@jacobwilson7030 you know, you never know, you know

@@tommyjankowski1444 only thing you will know is that your gains will be SMALLER BY THE DAYY

To outlift others maybe? It is a competition and people want to win and some consider cheating, just like they are all on PEDs.

@@popcornto6032 220kg is not hobby numbers lol. It aint elite obviously, but squatting 500 is not done in every gym, most gyms no one is doing over 2-3 plates. This kid is just like all the people using fake weights online, just wants to feel special when their not.

competitively, he wouldn't do as well in the legal category. since wraps give u an advantage over sleeves, he illegally pretending :^)

@@popcornto6032 I've never seen more than 2-3 plates squatted or deadlifted at my local gym. When I pull 500-600 at Golds, people stare.

@@ConnorLipke Most people at my gym don't squat much more than 100kg but most of them don't train to lift bigger numbers or don't know what the fuck they're doing anyways. I personally just squatted 178kg w/ belt for a single yesterday and I've only trained for two years consistently and half a year of that has gone mostly to just getting rehabilitated from an injury. It's not that hard really to squat near 200kg even as a non-competetive lifter as long as you know what you're doing.

Agreed. I dunno how he’s gonna live another 1000 years for a start

Right. A thousand years of time to think about this silly mistake.

I mean I get waiting a couple hundred years to figure things out before trying again but don’t you think 1000 years is a bit much?

Plenty of time to figure things out

@@abdicolestudios8899 No he did the crime he can do the time. We can't afford to be lenient with cheaters.

no fucking way thats real

88kg? Wow he's gonna be a beast

He's very heavy for 12 at 88kg and he didn't even look fat! Huge kid.

Confused Future I complitely agree

it's obviously fake... an 88kg 12yo, that is not fat, deadlifting 170kg? yeah... sure.

That’s what I thought as well. Yikes.

He also had wraps under his pants

It would also depend in the category I mean 220 kg in 100 kg is poor even for using sleeves only, but 220 kg on 66 kg might be decent

Just 220kg? Oki then

@@nicolassilva7088 truth has been said

@@nicolassilva7088 True! But this guy definitely was not 66kg. He looks like he's somewhere between 80-90kg

Imagine calling everyone out like this on the internet to feel like you are super strong.

Wraps in a comp that allows wraps is not cheating and I say this as someone who competes in a wrapped competition in sleeves.

Russia. Nuf said

Was that for a joke?

What bench shirt did he have? How did nobody notice?

it's also lying to everyone else if all those methods win the meet

peds too. the strength was not theirs lmao. it's all delusion

I’m not sure I’d classify a sumo pull as cheating.. just a different type of lift

I cackled at exorcist arch 😂😂

Honestly, I think he is fairly tall he just doesn’t look it as no reference

Same. How's that possible? Even if he was already 6'3'' or something like that, there's no way he's gonna have the muscle mass of an adult. I've seen some increadibly tall little boys, but they were all pretty skinny.

@@DiarioCarnivoro I'm 39 an weigh 80 kg (and I'm definitely not "shredded"). 88kg for a 12 y/o is impossible.

@@DiarioCarnivoro Looking at his physique he would have to be extremely tall toi weigh that much at that age.

There's no way he weighs 88 kg. Compare him to the plates to get an approximate of his height. He's in no way tall enough to weigh 88 kg with that physique.

Maybe pounds? But he put kilograms by mistake

@@BANDEV89 maybe, but if he’s 12 and only weighs 88 lbs pulling 375 from the floor, we all need to just give up on trying to be strong.

@@BANDEV89 seems very suspicious... an 88kg 12yo deadlifting 170kg...

There is no way that this is legit

@@ItsNicolau why? I coach him. He's legit, he pulled 180kg, benched 90kg and squatted 175kg in competition. Maybe you need to revise what you consider strong.

the sport has done that itself

this mishap is less embarrassing than the whole of multi-ply

@@toximan2008 - still within the rules. Remember when single ply bench shirts sometimes turned out to be multi ply at a closer look. Hard to cheat in bigger meets though.

@@toximan2008 no its not, there are rules for a reason.

@@toximan2008 multiply, wraps and sleeves and only 220 kg 🤭🤭🤭🤭

There is a 150lb Chinese weightlifter who can Overhead squat 220kg completely raw

That's because they're short

@@jakesimmonds5043 Yes anatomical builds help, but them being "short" shouldn't be used as dismissal. Plenty of short people not lifting those weights

Honestly not many. Word travels fast at meets and nobody likes cowards who do shit like this. If you're weak be weak and enjoy the process of being the best lifter you can be.

Car 1.5 tons...so its 1/3 of a car.

@@famaccount479 how is 220kg 1/3 of 1500kg (1.5 tons)? lmfao

@@jazzabighits4473 Are you thick? Who talk about 220kg? I talk about serious weightlifters who can 500kg lift, not that unknown cheater. The point was, that nobody press a car like this, not even Eddy Hall.

@@famaccount479 I thought you meant the dude in the video haha. Yeah that's true, but there's many videos of Eddie Hall and other body builders squatting the back of a car (they put some device under the back axle and lift it) and one with Brian Shaw doing the same with somebody sitting in the trunk/boot of the car. If you want to see the heaviest lift, look up hip lift or back lift. (see this vid ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4wDtEyTLIy4.html )

@@jazzabighits4473 These are just shells, not real Cars anymore.

sleeves add 5-10lbs probably. wraps are complicated but i think this video does a good job explaining how they work

Not just one knee sleeve but two! What a guy eh

Lets vote him

No he did (a)steroids

I'm confused what's bad about wearing sleeves on his legs?

@@militeghebre5386 It adds support to your skeletal system. Also it makes your muscles tighter hence stronger. You need to lift heavy to understand the difference.

@@TemplarX2 it doesn't do either of those things, or rather those things aren't what affect the lift. They're basically just springs. The compression isn't what's doing the heavy lifting(lmao) it's the elastic force trying to keep the joint in a given position. Fun fact tightness actually makes muscles weaker. In order to contract, muscles need to expand perpendicular to the axis of contraction. Limiting the area they can expand into directly limits their ability to contract.

@@xenn4985 wrong.

@@TemplarX2 which part was wrong, and explain why. You don't get to just say "wrong".

Maybe he wasn't allowed to wear an other layer I assume?
