The dip wads at the VT Weightlifting Club would

not have allowed Kemari’s lift. They would have said that he bounced it off his chest. You may sense that I’m still a little bitter that the VTWC, 36 years ago, ripped me off from getting my 250# bench press t-shirt. I did it successfully 2 times. 1st time they said I did not wait for their signal to start. 2nd time they said one of my feet came off the ground (it did not). 3rd time around, I was petered out, and couldn’t do it.
