IMPC - Powerlifting?

**romanaz** · 02-23-2007, 08:17 PM

How many people would be interested in having a powerlifting section of the IMPC? I think it would be fun thing to do to expand it and add another dimension to the contest.

Participants would take video's of each of their lifts, and say use a newspaper to validate the date.

I would definitly be up for something like this, anyone else?

p.s. admins : if you think this thread oversteps, please just delete it then.

It would be hard to prove if people were honest or not, i mean i hate to say it that way, but is would be hard to judge. And most people don't know "official" powerlifting rules, then we would have arguements. I doubt it would happen, but I like the idea tho.

have set rules for the lifts. Camera must be in the head judges spot, have to have someone else there to spot and do the "press! squat!" commands. I understand it would be a hard thing to judge, but it would only be a one time deal (the finals) but people can post videos of training.

Maybe adopt official WPO or USAPL rules or something.

LOL Why don't we just do a simple raw contest on three lifts?

Remember they judge on depth, lockout, etc. It could just be based on those...

yeah thats what I mean, no suits/shirts allowed, and judged on hitting parallel, pausing on the bench, and holding on the deadlift.
