Two things:

1. Fenian, much respect for the Star Trek references.

2. This is the single funniest wikipedia entry I have ever read. Close the voting now for Newbie of the Year. Give it to the regular poster who is posting as Mr. D. Villarreal.

If the person who is posting as Mr. D. Villarreal is kind, I hope we get a full explanation of the origin of all the photos and videos after this thing runs its course.

That's what threads like this are for, really.

No, really, I'm done!

I just want answers. He says he's a fact man. I want answers. I know he won an award, but if it was on a technicality, he has no reason to be flaunting it around like he's the stud he claims to be.

I didn't mention in that post, but will now, that there is no "true" national champion in powerlifting. A national champion is only truly the champion of the federation in which he/she has competed.

RokSki,
Maybe no one showed up to compete against him because it was such a new federation that very few knew about the "national championship". You say it's a compliment when lifters fail to show up for fear of being humiliated. I've never heard of this. Is this unique to powerlifting? Imagine if 'Nova failed to show up to the 1985 NCAA title game for fear of being humiliated. Or the '01 Diamondbacks or Patriots. Or if Boise State hadn't shown up to their bowl game for fear of losing to the Sooners. There are always Cinderellas, RokSki. If there is no competition, it's an exhibition -- plain and simple.

You are out of your depth, Spup. That's all I can tell you. Sorry, my friend.

You talk about facts, JDV. Here's a fact. It is my understanding your 2006 national title came in a competition with a new powerlifting federation called the APC. It is also my understanding that in your age class and weight class, you were the only entry. This means you "won" by simply showing up. How does this qualify you as a national champion when you didn't compete against anyone else? I understand you "technically" won the title, but you claim to be a competitive champion. A competitive champion has competition. If I understand correctly, you didn't have competition.

There are men and women who work their entire lives to compete at Nationals. That no one showed up to compete against him, at that level of a competition, is unbelievable. And in this case, very smart. Nobody wants to get humiliated, particularly by a guy they all know doesn't do drugs.

Yes, the fact that they don't show up is unbelievable. Which is why I don't believe it. The prospect of getting a royal ass-kicking doesn't deter 80 percent of athletes who qualify for the Olympics.

Why in the hell would someone bow out of an unknown national powerlifting competition because a prematurely balding guy with an over-inflated sense of self worth came sauntering into the room?

Viva le Diablo Barbell!

Rok, I love you, but your brother is coming off as an immature, insecure asshole. You do realize that, no?

spup1122 · Jan 29, 2007

Piotr,

That all makes amazingly perfect sense! I mean, about JDV being Doc. If I didn't sit next to him while he was signed onto SJ each evening, I'd be grilling him right now with questions regarding his affiliation to JDV. Unfortunately, he's boring and not JDV.

Here's a fact, as someone who has been to many of JDV's competitions and other powerlifting competitions:

Guys won't show up to compete against JDV because he kicks their asses, and they don't want to be embarrased. In the powerlifting community, winning a title 'by default' is actually considered a complement, because it means no one has the balls to try to compete against you.

JDV won best lifter in his class (all Submasters) in that National meet, 2006. That's about all you need to know.

One time, just to embarrass the guys who pussed out from showing up to compete against him, JDV won a national bench competition by doing some ridiculously light weight, like 225 or something. Just so all the wussies who wouldn't compete against him had to say they couldn't beat a guy who did only 225. Now that was funny, as powerlifting humor goes.

There are men and women who work their entire lives to compete at Nationals. That no one showed up to compete against him, at that level of a competition, is unbelievable. And in this case, very smart. Nobody wants to get humiliated, particularly by a guy they all know doesn't do drugs.

Or all he could do was 225. Why not just do the bar if he really wanted to prove that kind of point? If people are working their entire lives to compete at nationals, I think there's a good chance they're going to show up, no matter who is competing. But they'll probably show up at legitimate competitions.

Ditto what I said to Spup. After 260 or so posts, I don't have time to explain powerlifting nuances. Sorry. Not tonight.

Here's something fast: You don't win best lifter in an exhibition. *sigh*

Guys...for the love of all that is holy, THIS IS A JOKE!!!!

JDV, or whomever he is, is playing us all for suckers. Stop trying to rationally debate him, because it's not going to work. Do you think JDV, or whomever he is, is going to wake up tomorrow and go "Shit! Spup is right! I am a fraud!"

No. He's not.

I feel dumber for having contributed to this thread.

Now let's get back to the important things, such as whether or not Clever Username cleveland steams the carpet.

Girl, I'm toast right now. A refrigerator's closing could knock me over. JDV is what he is. But he is also what he says he is. Opinions are opinions, facts are facts. If it helps, I feel where you're coming from. You think I haven't seen this show before?

I am, however, happy you love me. Ha ha.
