Laura Phelps 683 Squat!

[Illuminati]

Did anybody see in the new PL USA (page 14) that Laura Phelps squatted 683, and then attempted over 700 at 165lbs?!?! anybody know if there is any video of her squat.

 

[Chambewy20]

Looked and couldn't find it.

She took it down about four inches? That's not a squat.

 

[Chambewy20]

Her ass went below parallel but not her hip, I can't see giving her three whites on that one, imo...

there's a big thread on this on Tommy's forum outlawpowerlifting

Question: If you are doing a full split and while in the split you unrack the weight and then re-rack it, does that count as a squat. JJ

Anyway, I watched the vid, exo-skeliton or not, pretty impressive for a girl.

I lift with Laura and she is hands downs the real deal! Say what you want about her squat! if you weren't there to see it then why say anything?

well put...no matter how you view it, it's still impressive.

THat squat wouldn't get a pass if it were a man doing it!

 

[donsj]

on record lifts these refs have to be more discerning, I don't think the athletes appreciate getting whites on sketchy lifts, better to call it clean

 

[silverfish]

Judy Neff could probably do that.

If it was high it was high... lets not act like a bunch of bodybuilders over here and start nit picking. If she got the white lights for it, good for her.
Unless you were lifting against her and that lift pushed you out... why knock her?

no knock on her, it is a knock on the refs

Without a doubt... but you were really the only one that phrased their comment as an attack on the judging, which is where the fault lay.

Faulting her lift is wrong. When you try and break a record (even your own), you get under the weight and do what you can do. If it feels wrong and you cant hit depth, then you go down to where you go down to and then come back up. She may not have even thought she was gonna get whiote lights on the lift, but you find me a lifter who is going to say "No, no... I cant take white lights on that lift, I dont think I hit depth!"
Lol, youre gonna say "Damn, these judges must be blind" and walk away with a good lift.

But for people to say "Thats not a squat"?
I seriously doubt more than a couple of the MEN on here could match that squat. It might be different if she was showboating around about it and yelling "IN YOUR FACE!" to people... but as far as I can tell, she grabbed the weight and gave it her best shot.

I for one respect that.

 

[Laura Phelps]

You are so right, and thank you Monster!

I took so much crap for that squat. Almost like people blamed ME! LOL! I just did the squat as best as I could and I got white lights. Not like I was going to refuse the call.

If you can hear on the video, I went as soon as I got the "up" command. I just "go" whenever I am told to! LOL! I've taken 740 much deeper in the hole in training so I know that I can do it, and I will, I can promise you that!

Thank you to those who gave positive comments! I truly appreciate it!

 

[|3ossman]

I've taken 740 much deeper

nice work laura, and look at all that karma !!! thats an extra 40lb's right there !!!!

 

[Laura Phelps]

Whoa! Hey what's up with the karma? What does that mean exactly? I was wondering how I joined last night and already have karma hits.

I hope it does add 40 lbs. to my squat!! That would be cool! : )

 

[Chambewy20]

It's supposed to be used when you post something of value to a thread but your a chick and a big name so you will get mucho K....

Doesn't really mean anything, I waste all mine in the bookie forum....

I don't know about the rest of the board members but for a 405pd bench presser you look really damn sexy to me.

 

[Laura Phelps]

chambewy20 - thanks for the info!

Devastation - Thank You! And no, I am not (as far as I know) related to Rebecca and Jim! It would be cool to meet them though! : )

Thanks Human Target!

Quadsweep's sister - Thanks so much for the kind welcome! I am happy to be here!

I have to second this comment! There is just something really sexy about a woman in a tight squat suit.

Awesome squat!

 

[Laura Phelps]

Thanks Joe
