Funnest feds to compete in

[imweasel]

Thread title says it all.

I'm doing a usapl meet in the next week and so far everything to do with it has been super serious and not super fun, just wondering if theres funner places to compete.

Funnest is not a word.

How much fun is any federation before you compete in it? I don't understand how signing up, paying a registration fee, and waiting to find out what flight you are in could be fun.

Ipf is the most funnest. Especially if your squat depth is borderline or a tad high. That makes it extra more funnest

I know you are trying to make fun of the SPF here, but I have been to a couple of SPF meets over the last year and the judging was great for everyone. I think after the Powerlifting Watch/SPF stuff last year the SPF really got their judging in order. I saw a number of multiply squats get called high last year (that may have been white lighted in the past). As a result I am now lifting in the SPF and having a great time at their meets.

As for the new categories of competition (slingshot bench or strap deadlift) I'm not sure I see this as a bad thing...those are not used in full power and to be honest, might make a competition a bit more interesting to watch if anyone actually competes in them...who knows

SPF will always be victim to many jokes, however any meet is only as good/fun as the meet director regardless of fed (as already said).
