If a meet promoter counted each attemp and added up the total of the 3 attempts it would encourage each lifter to make each attemp count. The highest total for the 3 attempts wins. For instance 1st. 600, 2nd. 700, 3rd 850 = 2150 total.
For me it was Evan Arntzen back in March 01 and I have loved it ever since. I wasn't going to compete I just wanted to start lifting again. Then everyone started going heavy for a meet and I caved in and have tried ever since.
You have brought up a great point. I think it is something we need to look into starting. I will try to contact other federations and see if they have elite status for their raw lifters. If not maybe we all can start to come up with 1 together.
He adds:when going for 1RM squats, I seem to be raising my hips first coming out of the bottom of the squat and causing me to tip forward, thus not completing the lift.
I'm a raw lifter so it isn't an equipment issue. Maybe at the 60, 80, 90 percent weights I am doing it but strong enough to still lock out. I've heard and am trying the mental tips "push back into the bar", "chest up and back", "elbows forward" but I'm still doing it. Maybe I'm pushing my butt too far back or leaning forward on the descent unnecessarily. No video but maybe I should record one.
There are some new videos up at Iron Game as well as an update of Michael Soong's All-Time Historical Records and Rankings Lists. All of the videos are from the IPF Men's Worlds.
Being a powerlifter has nothing to do with how much you lift. It's participating in meets that make you a powerlifter. You can train like a powerlifter all you want and you can lift a ton of weight in the gym, but until you actually step on the platform to see what it's all about, you are not a powerlifter.
The first step in choosing your opener is to choose a goal that you would like to lift. This goal should be reasonable, but challenging. Please don’t be an idiot when choosing this. From this point (not the point of you being an idiot), you need to work backwards.
Mine is pretty cool about it most of the time, but sometimes when we are gearing up for meets and taking longer she gets aggrevated.
The AC WRBB is full!! If you have not been contacted by mail or phone about competing in Columbus you have not been invited. Through me Pam has told several lifters who have asked about benching at the AC that the meet is full. Even though they have been told no by Pam they think by calling/bothering me that they I will say yes. Well I won't!! So stop calling me!! If you have a history of bombing out you will not be invited period!! Believe me I know who you are too. I'm sick busting my ass to trying get sponsorship when 40% of the benchers bomb out. It's embarrassing!! I have been watching the video of Chicago BB$Cash meet and it makes me want to puke!! If that contest happend at the AC it wouldn't suprise me if Mr. Lorimer asked the WPO to never come back to Columbus again. So when you see new lifters whoever they might be at the AC it's because I want the best lifters out there who are most likely to make 2 attempts, and not bomb. I'm sick of this, "I can't bench 500 without a shirt, but I'll open with 750 and maybe I'll get it mentality!!" If your not invited it's because that's the type of lifter I think you are. So stop calling me!! KK APF/WPO Prez.
Who did get an invite that didn't qualify the "conventional" way?.. I am sure the other competitors would want him[Tiny Meeker] there as well, to compete against the best makes a win much more satisfying.
I was benching yesterday with my shirt, I worked up to 315 to try to triple or maybe even 5 reps. Well I bring down the bar and no pop what so ever from my shirt. I could not press it at all, so I don't know if my strength went down that much in a 2 week period when I didn't lift or if I need a tighter shirt? I got this Fury in the middle size I think it was competition fit. I've had it since August and hit 350 not over 2 months ago in it. I work with it every friday. Is it just too stretched and I should get a shirt that I use for just competition?
