But the “Unofficial World Record” tag really pisses me off.
This record isn’t unofficial because there is no record.
You do not set any weightlifting records with straps, you do not set or break records without officials, even unofficial ones.
An unofficial record would imply that all criteria a genuine record requires would be met, and then something went wrong that is not the lifter’s fault.
You cannot just alter any rules, regulations or enviroments and then call it an “unofficial record.”
If I deadlifted 1200 pounds with a suit, wraps, reverse bands, straps and what not, and then called it “unofficial raw world record”, you guys would kill me … for good reason.[/quote]
And that lift still wouldn’t be more impressive than a 207 snatch w/straps. How many Americans (drugfree or not), (w/straps or not) have snatched over 200?
Quit hating something that you will never come within 50, maybe even 100 kilos of doing.
