Abbrevi8tor · 01-27-2008, 06:18 PM

Hey guys/gals, thought I'd put a shout out on our up and coming meet at virtualmeet.net. We offer raw, drug-free virtual powerlifting competitions, all you need is a gym and a video camera. Our next meet is a full powerlifting meet and will be held on March 7-9, 2008. The last day to sign up for this meet is Feb. 15.

The rules can be found here.

Here is the 2008 competition schedule

We also have Non-English support forums.

Virtual Powerlifting Rankings. Those are the rankings of everyone that has competed thus far.

So come on over and try out the virtual world of powerlifting

Thanks for reading and any questions just ask here or create a free account on virtualmeet.net and ask in our Forums.

There are no "weight classes" per sey. Your actual score is based off of weight lifted, your bodyweight, and age if applicable.

If you go HERE it may help explain how scores are totaled. Scroll all the way down for more information.

That doesn't matter man. The best thing about it, is that once you compete for the first time and get numbers on the boards you have something to shoot for and beat next time. Much better motivation to beat your old numbers when they are posted for the world to see and ranked to other people from around the globe.

MidwestMonster · 01-27-2008, 07:32 PM

I may compete.

What about raw vs geared? And what are your terms on them? I mean like, raw = belt only, etc.

rocky21 · 01-27-2008, 07:33 PM

my score was 606. i'm going to a meet in early march, i'll try to video tape my lifts so i can get in this thing.

ThomasAnthony · 01-27-2008, 07:43 PM

pretty cool... i may do this sometime

PeonLover · 01-27-2008, 08:29 PM

My score was 917. Go me!

Yes, only a belt is allowed or you can go beltless. No gear or singlets are allowed. This is also covered in the rules that are linked above I believe.

Currently we don't allow video of live meets to be submitted. This is due to singlets not being allowed in virtual meets and other variables that are different between the two.

We are offering many meets throughout the entire year. My first post included our 2008 meet schedule, so if you're still interested there should be something for you to compete in.

Dark_MadMax · 01-27-2008, 09:29 PM

interesting. I was going to tape my next 1 rm, so might as well try this !

Euqinom · 01-28-2008, 06:45 AM

Yay! Virtualmeet!

Say hi to Kris for me!
I cannot compete myself, I have my meet only 5 days earlier, and still don't have a camera. Good luck to all that will join.

matthewluke60 · 01-28-2008, 08:14 AM

Yeah, I'm class I, that freakin rocks.........too bad I'm training strongman right now or I'd be interested. I think this virtualmeet thing is a great idea, I've never heard of it before.

big13 · 01-28-2008, 08:44 AM

i only get a 873.3

Andalite · 01-28-2008, 09:22 AM

im training strongman too...otherwise id do this.

Abbrevi8tor · 01-28-2008, 12:53 PM

Thanks to everyone that has posted thus far, whether you're thinking of signing up or not. Just trying to get the word out and hopefully snag a few people in the process.

-themask- · 01-28-2008, 01:23 PM

is it free?
and my lifts are reeaaalll low, would i still be able to sign up?
(200ish dead,160ish squat, 100ish bench

)

**str8flexed** · 01-28-2008, 01:54 PM

I think I may give this a go as a good intro to me for powerlifting. So let me get this clear... we don't have have to film the entire time in the gym correct? just the attempt so long as they are submitted is that right?

**str8flexed** · 01-28-2008, 02:02 PM

also, do you allow headphones to be worn?

Dummkopf · 01-28-2008, 02:05 PM

I think I might enter also

No, you don't have to film the entire time at the gym. However, you do have to keep the total time alloted for the meet under the specified time. I think it is 2 hours max for full meets.

As of right now we do not. If this changes prior to the meet I will def. let you know.

Abbrevi8tor · 01-28-2008, 05:32 PM

**Arlecchino** · 01-28-2008, 05:38 PM

Actually you keep track of your own start time and ending time, which cannot exceed the max time allowed for the meet. Then when it comes time to upload your videos you will be asked for this information along with some other info.

Abbrevi8tor · 01-28-2008, 06:59 PM

Just so everyone that may give this a shot is on the same page, to enter for this meet you have to create an account on virtualmeet.net and then to register for the meet you go to: MEET SIGN UP, which is under MEET TALK in the forums. There are also links there for other languages.
