May as well throw this one out there so we have all 3 major lifts represented.
Open to ideas as to how things should run but here's how I see it.....
- must be Flat BB Bench only (using an OLY bar). No Incline Bench, Decline Bench or DBs.
- Raw lifts only. No shirted benching. (wrist wraps are OK though)
- obviously can be either gym or competition lifts.
- press can be either paused or TnG (Touch N Go) but no bouncing.
- spotters can help with racking/unracking only. Full press must be done with no assistance.
Classes:
- Ladies
1st group Up to 124lbs
2nd group 125-145lbs
3rd group 146lbs and over
- Men's
1st group up to 175lbs
* djflex: 255 @ 174
* boathead: 235 @ 168
2nd group 176 - 210
* CaptChip40: 305 @ 176
* korr: 303 @ 181
* litljay: 295 @ 192
3rd group 211- 240
* OS: 335 @ 216
4th group 241 and over
* nvr: 275 @ 242
- Masters Class (60+ in age)
The winner of each class will be the lifter who posts a vid of the heaviest completed lift.
In the event of a tie, the lighter lifter of the two will win
Like the other comps. this will run until the end of the year (Dec. 31st, 2011) and cut-off for new entries will be Nov. 1st. All entries must be 1-rep and caught on vid. All vids between the dates of this month (July) until the end of Dec. 2011.
Hopefully winners of each class would get mod reps.... if not then just bragging rights.
Something like that?
Certainly accepting suggestions from anyone else who has input!

Max = too high.
busta = banned.
Good to hear buddy! Looking forward to some (MORE) inspiring stuff from ya!
Oh I'm pretty sure that we'll get some good interest. There are some real beasts out there too (Smelly Bull, Dave Wiggins).
I'm hoping that DD will lead the charge for the ladies again... perhaps Lisa will be in as well? Dochappy? I'll start canvassing as we go.

Right you are. But I stayed out of them because they were slanted heavily toward the 30 somethings and made no attempt to deal fairly with those 40, 50, 60. or 70. This may be an Over 35, and I have loved it for more than a decade but it is repeatedly oriented only to the very young members.
We all know there is a wide range of ages here. We should be trying to encourage more, not less participation in what we do. If you are 40 today and love lifting, you WILL be 70 tomorrow and probably still love lifting. But will you want to be categorically excluded by the then 30 somethings?Dutch
For four generations my family has answered the call and served as needed from Europe to Asia to 9/11. We will gladly stand and fight again to preserve our freedom from tyranny.
