another comparison off the top of my head would be.....
for those who have been at or competed in powerlifting.....
someone trains to break the "world record" bench press....
they find someone who is a powerlifting official from a sanctioning
body....they utilize the same certified plates/equipment.....
the person shows up, takes the weight straight off the rack....to about
4 inches from the chest...and presses it back up.......with a weight that
exceeds the current record........then has a press release that says they
shattered the world record, taking it from previous holder etc....
this is hard to swallow for the world record holder and all those who, have
to follow the sanctioing bodies rules which keep it consistent for decades...
ie.....once off the rack....you hold it until given the "press" signal from officials....then once its down to chest....held for a count of one...until
the official gives the "press" signal.....then pressed......
that is ALOT different.........but its still impressive that the dude took
off a weight exceeding the world record, and pressed it over a MUCH
more limited distance..........
