Is CAPO a waste of space?

[Stiffy]

We've got an untested Fed - GPC and a tested Fed - P.A. So is CAPO redundant?

 

[spartacus]

obviously not for those still lifting in CAPO.

 

[Shrek]

No.
Lifters should have a choice.

 

[Jungnaut]

Which one should I sign up for if I am interested in competing?

 

[spartacus]

GPC for me. I am only doing pushpull from now on, and I prefer GPC for a number of reasons.

Most powerlifters on this site are GPC also.

You should have come to PTC today, the novice comp would have been relevant to your interests.

Bugger, how do I keep up to date with these things man, I would've like to come for sure.

(I do check PTC website from time to time though)

 

[KungFooGoo]

If you're on facebook follow them on there - PTC Perth or just look at their website. The calendar has the events coming up.

Yep - get off the gear and compete in PA, or don't compete.

CAPO allowed no wraps and walked out squats

 

[wingman]

Because no one in PA uses gear?
And everyone in non PA does use gear?
Both are very wrong

There really doesn't need to be more than one powerlifting fed in Australia, to me the non PA feds seem to attract those who like shortcuts. Why would you bother using gear in PA when 1) you're likely to be tested if you suddenly show large increases in strength and 2) there is no money in powerlifting.

To win...

Got nothing to do with gear mate.
The feds have different rules, different venues, different atmosphere, different mates competing (and also quantity thereof).

They could all be tested or all be untested for all i care. I'd still not choose PA.

i suppose it comes down to lifters choice

it's like the holden vs ford debate,
