Nick , you gotta admit that you didn’t even look at the main judge and forgot to look for the signal. Just because in slow motion it was close in timing with her hand in the air it doesn’t matter. You have to show a motionless locked out knees position at the end and you simply didn’t accomplish that. Sorry man.

I think it’s fair to say we all wanna see Nick attempt another powerlifting competition in the future and bring home that gold! This was a great video 💪

Hey Nick, I was a competitor that day at the Branch Warren Classic who got silver in your weight class! I'm shown squatting at 2:09 . Nice to see you got bronze and that you and I weren't far off each other totalwise! Hope to see you around in another CO local meet sometime this year! As for the squat, you did jump the rerack command. Your hip crease is below the top of the knee so you weren't called on depth. The side refs were looking to see you lockout completely before moving forward.

A little shocked by the final deadlift weight decision: you had WAY more in ya. Mad respect! Sco Ducks

Between the DQ on squat #3, and the somewhat conservative bench and deadlift, you definitely had over 1100 in you today Nick. And great to see that deadlift number climbing. The 500lb + 5:00 challenge is definitely attainable for you later this year.

Fair lift in my book! Met you in Philly, New York, and Boston in September and it's insane to see your strength build since then! Looking forward to the Nick Symmonds Too vid.

Hey Nick, love your energy bro, you're an inspiration. I separated my shoulder a few years ago and my body hasn't been the same but I've been trying my best to salvage what I have and still push forward to be my strongest. Thanks for sharing your experience and I wish you the best! ✊✊

I really like how you keep your commentary's hyped for yourself, a lot of people would be afraid to do that but it really makes the video way better

Way to go. You’re ability to go from distance runner to power lifter is inspiring. I bet your sprint times are coming way down because of this.

Congrats on your first competition nick! I just wanna thank you for inspiring so many people like me out there and showing everyone that anything is possible ❤️

My meet is in eight weeks 🤩 I am taking your tips and making sure all my ducks 🦆 are in a row so I don’t get any mess ups and get all white lights!! 😬😬

That 450 deadlift FLEW up. The big 500 is closer than you think!

I’m impressed Nick! I’m very close to the same size, weight and age and you’ve motivated me to push to new PRs. I’m stronger than I was in HS and college. 💪

Nice work Nick. Keep up the hard work and dedication you are inspiring

I remember watching you in the Olympics and you definitely put your foot down, telling everyone what a great athlete you are

You are truly amazing nick and an amazing inspiration to have fun with working out

Whenever I’m lifting and think I can’t, I hear Nick’s voice saying, “leave it on the track”. Jeez something about that gets me pumped 👏🏼 Thanks Nick!

You definitely have a 5 plate deadlift in you! Congrats on the PRs!

Superb lifts nick..more power to u💪

Dude this stuff is so awesome. I love this type of video.

I actually never knew Nick was in the Olympics

You should make a video on your second channel about staying motivated and how to not lose passion when training hard. That’s would be really helpful because I’m recovering from injuries and fighting to stay passionate

Woah! Love these videos and how Nick is always challenging himself in different ways. Inspiration! Also Coach Rick looks 24.

well done! it's really beautiful as a powerlifter to see new people get into the sport! your third squat looked good from the video, plus it's really strange for the head ref to give a white light if you missed a command. A possible explanation would be if she waved her hand before saying the command out loud so you saw the command but the two other judges did not hear it quite yet, in which case you should get your lift (in cases like this, where there are 2 red light your coach is allowed to go talk to the judges to ask for explanation and it can get your lift back on the board). Anyway great job i hope this will help to get more people into the sport and i hope you had a great time competing!!

Nick that’s a great start to powerlifting I’m a teen powerlifter and I have ran the mile and 800 in track many times it would be amazing and a honor to compete against you in a meet I’d definitely like to get your take on running and lifting you are impressive

Very inspiring! I have the same bodyweight as you, but a bit more seasoned in powerlifting than in running. Glad to see both of my passions in your channel! I can rep 500lbs easy on the deadlift, but have trouble getting under 1 minute on the 400m. Hoping to achieve it soon.

So with the squat the ref is signaling to the other ref to start the rack command, but you dont rack until you actually hear the ref yell the command.

Nice vid! You’re really inspiring me to start my weight loss journey! Thank you!

*I know I’m hella late. Squat looked good, depending on the federation you compete in they can be stingy on commands. Some federations are soft when it comes to depth and the timing of commands and some are suuuuper strict. IPF and USAPL are usually the stricter ones

Good job! Not sure how long you have been training for the meet. But just a few technical things to clean up on your bench and deadlift. Then you could increase that number significantly. But competing takes more balls than most people have. Once again good job. And I love the video.

Definitely wanna see another 💪
