The FPO has recently reorganized and the meet is the biggest in its 12 year history. It features guest lifters Timo Majuri and Andrei Saskov from Estonia in addition to the local talent of Kari Kalliola (shw), Tony Haaparanta (165), Sakari Selkäinaho (181), Ilkka Mursu (242) and Matti Lehto (275).

Below is training footage of reigning APF Senior Nationals best lifter, Clint Smith (220), as he prepared for the the APF Southern States which will take place on Saturday in Jacksonville, Florida. Smith likely will be challenged by Brian Schwab for the best lifter nod.

The USAPL has removed the number three ranked qualifier for the IPF Pro Deadlift Championships at the Arnold, Tom Eisman (198), from the final roster for the event.

Eiseman met all of the published selection criteria for the meet. His 733 pound deadlift, good for a 219.18 Wilks, won the NOTLD: Glory meet on September 19. That meet was a qualifier for the Arnold. Three other lifters whom Eiseman defeated at the meet, Eli Burks, George Herring and Mike Hedlesky, will all compete in the Arnold deadlift meet due to their performances at NOTLD: Glory.

In October, Eiseman accepted his position in the Pro Deadlift Championships. In November, his name was removed from the list of qualifiers. He was subsequently told that it was due to having bombed out of the 2008 event. However, that is not mentioned as a criteria in the selection process.

Meet director Robert Keller has published the roster for the USAPL Southeastern USA Regional Championships, Florida Senior Games and Florida Collegiate Championships that will take place on Saturday, December 05, at Florida Gulf Coast University, in Ft. Myers, Florida. A total of 80 lifters and 152 entries are slated to compete.
