am i going to have to ingest these sinkers? hahaDidnt you know they have the Gestapo doing full body searches and a thorough interrogation using soviet russia torture techniques before your allowed to lift?
mate! no charges were laid, be cool.Mate it'll be just like that time you traveled to bali.
So much for the lifters being the show.
how is it a hollow victory?No issue with this - if you can't make weight, you have problems. FWIW, I've seen lifters move up a class once it became apparent that they couldn't win the class they nominated for. Must be a pretty hollow victory.
Dont understand your football analogy Aaron. Are you being stupid. Do you know anything about football?
Huh?it is impossible to lose 1 kg during several hours even if it is water

PA make rules on the run.
Weigh in rule for TV viewing.
I just checked my TV guide, no coverage of this comp.
Then mindless minions pipe up "Its in the rules"
Last time I checked, so was using talc.
Rules on the run with zero consideration for the lifter.
Dont understand your football analogy Aaron. Are you being stupid. Do you know anything about football? They have an AFLPA so the AFL dont dictate.
I thought Cousins was allowed to retire. The AFLPA made sure he WAS able to play.
Good luck to ALL lifter and I hope you ALL set PB's
Sorry one more thing, since i put a bit of info in there, i may aswell explain the bit about carbs incase someone else refers to this.
If you REALLY need to get down weight wise you can eliminate carbs from the diet (ie, 24hrs out) BUT its best to avoid this (ie diet 4 weeks out or something!!!)
The logic is that the carbs retain water when they're stored as glycogen in the msucles cell or livers cell. So you cut carbs out AND water and its like playing with two dials instead of just the one. the downside is that if your muscles are depleted of glycogen then they're not fully fueled. I no powerlifting isn't an endurance sport.... but come 3rd lift of your deadlift, this kind of thing can make a MASSIVE difference (even 3rd lift of the squat).
And it also means you have to try replenish both WATER and CARBS in your small window between weigh in and warmup.which you don't want to put your body through (esp if you've trained the last 12months for this comp!! you'd want to be at 100% right?!)
this is why ppl on low carb diets will drop a few kgs in the first week or two - water loss. And used the other way around, what marathon runners and even bodybuilders do before a comp - do cram the glycogen into the muscle stores (for energy for the runners, or to create a fuller more solid look for BBers).
Don't ever think nutrition isn't a big part of sport!!
I'm going to bed now haha
