I have to ask if he truly “bounced” it with little control down

Wouldn’t that much weight break a rib? I think that much weight has to have a little natural “bounce” and JF spotting cannot be holding much if any of that weight from the positioning he’s in. Yeah he’s moving it off the rack but…Copeland has to control the weight somewhat off the bar and down. Still ridiculously impressive ** Edited by hokiepro at 7/24/2026, 1:28:58 PM
