After attending 2 State Comps, 2 National events and a World Championship in the past 6 months, I have come to the conclusion that the one thing that is missing from competition is..........competition.
Another thing missing is financial reward for the Strongest Sport in the world.
It could also do with more atmosphere and publicity.
I have run and organized comps out of a garage for 4 years. It has got to the stage where they got too big.
I am securing a bigger venue as we speak.
I am lucky to have some of the best sponsors/supporters at my gym. I feel I give them good bang for their buck.
I have spoken to lifters all over the World now, in person, email and forums.
Raw is the future, as PA have just discovered, but its not perfect.
The one thing most raw lifters want is knee wraps. Their in.
Everyone wants money. Done.
Competition. The strong seek it, the weak hide from it. I want to attract the strong.
Four divisions total. No age divisions at all
85kg
105kg
125kg
125kg+
Thats it for men
60kg
75kg
75kg+
Thats it for women
Healthy competition in every division, prize money, the strongest lifters
Leave late January free on your calender.
No token lifts as there will be no single lift records kept, only totals, token all you like. Were lifting to win, not set records.
No 4th attempts, not required
No 24 hour weigh in, its a crock of shit
Rising bar, let the tactics begin, loaders thank me later.
Music, loud, lots of it
