Ironmass Powerlifting Competition??

**Succio** · 10-30-2007, 01:00 AM

im thinking we should do one here.

Just posting up the videos of the lifts on here.

I could throw in some Supplements, although they are open. I have some ALCAR, and Beta alanine Tabs for a prize.

Just an idea, see how many people we can get to do it.

**DJSTARER** · 10-30-2007, 02:48 AM

i dont think there are enough lifters.... especially weight classed...

plus, we don't have official judging, drug testing, weigh ins.... yeah. But i like the idea. Not to mention we all know each others' numbers from logs.

**Succio** · 10-30-2007, 05:17 AM

yea, i was thinkin that you, Big D, maybe romanaz, myself and danman would be in it. but wed have to get some bodybuilders to compete in this as well.

i want to see how many people are actually interested.

**romanaz** · 10-30-2007, 05:28 AM

if you did PL lifts only, I'd put in a squat and maybe a pull. I wouldn't mind it really.

danman77220 · 10-30-2007, 05:35 AM

**** yeah. I'd be in

Another option would be weight races. On another board I go to, people race to their strength goals. Right now there are some like:

-Race to 405 dead
-Race to 315 bench
-Race to 225x30 bench
-Race to 315 front squat

Just some thoughts.

Hey succio, race you to 275 bench.

**Succio** · 10-30-2007, 05:42 AM

we could make up our own weight classes

like 140-160

160-180

180-200

and danman, you're probably going to catch me up on bench

danman77220 · 10-30-2007, 05:48 AM

Hehehehehehehehe

I doubt this would catch as much fire on here as the IMPC, but I think that there are enough guys on here that would wanna do it just for some good fun and motivation.

Of course, we'd need both raw and suited federations also. I don't have a suit, and I wouldn't really wanna throw down on one just for an online competition lol.

Also, if we kicked this thing off, it might be best to schedule two "meets;" one around July or August (so that people involved with the IMPC could participate at the during of their bulking periods rather than being disadvantaged) and one closer to the end of the year for actual powerlifters, as it fits in with actual meet times.

**Succio** · 10-30-2007, 05:50 AM

this will be raw, no suits.

danman77220 · 10-30-2007, 05:52 AM

Belts would be legal, what about knee wraps?

yea, belts, knee/wrist wraps are allowed.

danman77220 · 10-30-2007, 05:55 AM

I think wrist wraps should be illegal. Grip is a vital part of the deadlift.

you're thinking of straps

danman77220 · 10-30-2007, 05:59 AM

Oh lol what's the diff?

**Succio** · 10-30-2007, 06:03 AM

wraps go on the wrists, for upper pressing movements

DJohnson · 10-30-2007, 02:01 PM

I'd compete as long as there is weight classes, but I dunno if I can even dead without straps. I don't think prizes are necessary.

whats the point of being able to pick it up if you can't hold it?

its like in real life... if you can't hold onto it, how do you think you can pick it up?
