Video shows a bearded Avi Silverberg calmly approach the bench in men's clothing and unofficially break the women's record
Silverberg was protesting rules by the Canadian Powerlifting Union which allow anybody who identifies as a woman to compete in the female category
Silverberg was at the Heroes Classic Powerlifting Meet in Lethbridge in Alberta
********************************************************************
This is the moment a male coach claims to be a woman and smashes the female bench press record at a powerlifting competition in Canada.
Bearded Avi Silverberg is shown calmly approaching the bench in men's clothing as part of a protest against gender self-identification policies in sport.
Silverberg then unofficially breaks the female bench press record for the 84+ kilograms women's category, which was a 270lbs press - officially set by a trans lifter.
The move, which took place Saturday at the Heroes Classic tournament in Lethbridge, Alberta, was apparently designed to protest rules outlined by the Canadian Powerlifting Union.
Silverberg has yet to comment on his decision to enter the contest and subsequent victory.
The Canadian rules allow anybody who self-identifies as a woman to compete in the female category, sparking concerns trans women who've gone through male puberty may have a considerable physical advantage over biological female rivals.
The CPU released its 'trans inclusion policy' in February which was based on guidance from the Canadian Center for Ethics in Sport.

Andy would have been proud.
Yes, he would..........................
Alinsky 101. Make them live up to their own book of rules.
Alinsky’s “Rules for Radicals” #4: “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.”
How quick were people to accept the “I identify as _______” notion as some sort of reality? It is mind-blowing that anyone would go along with it, yet they insist on adherence to the brave new thought.
Dang... ya beat me, I wasted time looking up the rule number. :-)
My son was saying the other day that he wants to enter a women’s golf tournament, saying he thinks he’s a female that day. He’s 6’4”, 220 pounds of muscle, and plays a heck of a game of golf.
He said he’d do it, then decide on the 17th or 18th that he has changed his mind, feels like a male again, and drop out. I told him he should - it would get great coverage locally and show the utter stupidity of people who are supposed to be our “betters”.
Might as well make a mockery of a mockery.
Alinsky’s Rule #8: “keep the pressure on”
This needs to happen often and everywhere, sticking the woke-left’s nose in the crap they have left on the carpet.
She’s so brave, so beautiful.
I swear that I originally thought the ‘trans-gender’ idiocy was a satire joke on how ridiculous liberals have gotten.
Who would have thought they would embrace it 100%
I see what he did here:
It kinda takes all the fun out of beating up on the girls in women’s sports if some big guy has already set the record you can never beat.
And it would let the real winner win
I support this 100%
Lol provided the person in second place is a female and not one of the actual lunatics pretending to be one!
Ernie Kovacs:
LOL thatwould be great. It would be cool to set up a gofundme page to finance his dream lol
Good for him to show the absurdity of these rules.
70 Years Ago it was Rosa Parks who stood up to the injustice of her world and forced the country to confront its RACISM.
Now it’s Lea Thomas and this guy doing the same, to force this country to confront its SEXISM.
A baby would break a tooth trying to breast feed off that sweet “woman” lol
