Similar comparison for the big guys; IPF 120kg+ class DL classic record 392kg. (Tested, biggest federation) IPL SHW class DL raw record 415kg. (Untested) -
WDFPF -75kg class deadlift unequipped WR is around 260kg I think. (Genuinely as drug free as possible) IPF -74kg class deadlift classic WR is 310kg. (Heavily tested, biggest federation I think, realistically still affected by PEDs) IPL -75kg class deadlift unequipped WR is 290kg. (Untested I think) It's not a totally fair comparison because the IPF will attract more competitors and probably most of the naturally top flight guys. Also differences in judging and the bar used but I'm unsure of that. Also drug taking will have a greater effect in the higher weight class

No nik I don't really. I just can't imagine Mattis would allow half a job to be done. Interest post though mate.

Question Time, Can White People Be Victims Of Racism.
Born Hunter replied to Francie's topic in General Talk
No, we're better than that...... 'superior' you might say. LOL LOL -
I don't think Mattis would be happy without his Marines doing a proper job. He would know that air strikes would only be a temporary solution. Otherwise I agree Nik_B.

Bollocks. The security services and counter terrorism teams have saved f**k loads of lives. And that man there is a good reason for why we haven't seen the Mumbai style marauding attacks. There needs to be POLICY change to stop the attacks that are getting through. The suicide bomber was lying in pieces hanging off a railing without his limbs. All of this is after the fact and doesn't change a thing. The security services as usual knew of this guy and the rest of his family, the government don't tell them to act so they have to attempt to keep an eye on them and they even have to use

Well that's what I had hoped. All the talk of these new CT police who only needed 2 years as an AFO to apply didn't leave me overwhelmed with a sense of safety! Even if they are trained by the SAS.

@kanny This photo is doing the rounds. I might have been wrong when I said it was police CTSFOs that raided the house...

I'm with ya! f**k me if I had my way.... LOL But right now and for the immediate future the public are of the opinion you boys need to stay at home and 'not die needlessly'. It would never have had a UN resolution either so would have been open to all the cries of 'illegal war'. I'm sure May and Trump would love to send a force at brigade strength but even if the public supported it now, we're such a fickle bunch we'd all be wanting them hung before you had chance to finish it properly and stabilise the region.

No risk of that happening. Feck all appetite for full scale interventions anymore. The cruise will have to wait a decade I'm afraid.

I didn't mean to imply they all were Socks mate. The AKs reputation precedes it! I just meant that the quality and selection of the gear they have available to them over their isn't going to all be the best like some seem to think. f**k knows how old, well made or maintained some of those AK type weapons are (that's what I meant by shitty, not that the AK is shitty as a weapon). But that's what they get given until they can claim a better one or something different.
-
Too right. Be a f***ing nightmare if all you heard was a click an all! LOL These IS lot aren't simply cowardly pushovers either. Don't get me wrong, they wouldn't last five minutes against a full British or American force and many of them have got to be mentally weak to go off like they do but lets face it, as a whole they have managed to maintain a stronghold for a few years now, having beaten off the local government forces and later limited individual efforts from Western coalition and Russian coalition forces. It's only now they have had their back broken. And yeah, I know, I can h

LOL, it's not like these volunteers can just rock up in camp and say "Take me to the armoury Abdul, I want either a H&K 416 or an FN SCAR, a Glock, one of those flash daggers, a set of those NV goggles and that Uzi looks just the job too!". These fellas and fella-ettes doing the job in the sand are using what they can beg, borrow or steal. A shitty AK that has seen more wars than Rambo seems to be what you get given until you can claim something better. Frankly any f****r that goes to fight that war has my respect whether they are competent soldiers of not.

Manchester has a huge armed police and a large firearms unit (something like 160 people) who I think are involved with training and teaching the armed police and not just there to hand out certificates from what I understand. I was a bit surprised that they didn't evacuate any of the houses, there is video from across the street...how do they know the house wasn't rigged with explosives? They'll have had intelligence on the place at a guess. That and it's no good giving the enemy a heads up really is it. A case of weighing up the risk with the necessity. Yeah I was reading into

I think you'll see military used to protect the obvious high value targets freeing up AFO's (Police) to protect more civilian areas. Deploying soldiers is really not desirable to politicians, armed police have less of a negative psychological effect than soldiers do. Personally I got a much greater sense of security seeing 5 soldiers with assault rifles outside my hotel in Paris than I would have seeing plod. But that ain't how it works for most.

And yes, that'd be 22SAS........

You must have got it wrong BH that sounds more like the Iranian embassy.. Coppers don't do that The Police's new Counter Terrorism Specialist Firearms Officers (CTSFO) are basically a paramilitary unit. They operate in a very similar way to what the SAS would have done prior to the formation of the CTSFO. Explosive entry, fast roping etc etc. I guess they are now going the whole hog and using camouflage as well like many of the US paramilitary units. From what I have read it's speculated that if an armed siege was to take place again it'd be these guys that are sent in rather than T

Since when have British Police worn camouflage and used explosives to breach doors? That's what is being reported from witnesses of the raids following the attack. “The police were very heavily armed. All of them. It was like something out of a war scene,” said Mr Kinsey, “It was terrifying. About thirty of them arrived in camouflage and riot gear and removed the wooden fence between two properties. “Then they attached a black strip to the door and there was a loud explosion. The door came off its hinges. The windows were shaking. The whole operation lasted about 90 seconds.

"Probably not healthy...." Mate, that's healthy as f**k! Yeah, alright, there's an argument to be made that you don't want red meat too often and the salt in the bacon should be considered but that's a pretty solid meal as part of a balanced diet. A good selection of veg and otherwise little processing. Possibly sweet potato would give you more fibre.

ISIS always claim responsibility if another terrorist group are not immediately forthcoming. I wouldn't bet that the perpetrator(s) were in any way part of their actual 'organisation'. I would bet though that they have fought with them, been trained by them or at the very least been radicalised by them.
-
The fact 'he' used a bomb suggests to me that he ain't one of these facebook radicals, the sort that got bullied at school and turned to jihad for belonging. They have no real knowledge or connections and are limited to simply knifing someone or running them over. I wouldn't be surprised if this one has been to Syria/Pakistan for a bit of training. Probably British born. But also I don't think he is part of any serious terror group, we would likely have seen more attacks like 7/7 and the Bataclan in that case.
-
It was only a matter of time... Let's hope it doesn't turn into a endless spree of attacks like on the continent.

LOL, those numbers are meaningless unless expressed in terms of GDP as well. They're still meaningless unless you consider what each government inherits. I've got a graph of debt as a percentage of GDP coloured for the governments and it tells a different story.
