Sometimes there is a suggestion of change for the mere sake of change. I am in favor of growth, but it is absurd to think we can suddenly, after 40 years of existence, expect to have 1000 members. #1 I agree with entirely. We need to grow into new territories. That has started to happen, and will continue, I feel with the recent changes. #2 I think is a slight on the Promoters who have sanctioned national championships in the past. I have lifted in some pretty cool venues in the few nationals that I have competed in. #3-really? The logo? #4 is merely a segway into a crusade for knee sleeves. We could also say that we could benefit by adding sponsors by adding super suits or pharmaceuticals. #5 sure. Embrace change. But only as it makes sense by staying true to our roots. We could be huge if we went to a push/pull/squat format that embraces more equipment and steroids, but is that who we are?

Call me old school, but even though it is allowed, I really have no interest in lifting in other people’s meets remotely.

Beth did a great job getting right on that task. A job well done Beth!

Sorry, those last two were me. I was logged in as randy to help him with his account, and I guess I had not logged out…

I agree with your points Sanjiv. We want to grow the org, but it will be a challenge to manage with as many lifts as we have. There will have to be some reorganization. the shirt discussion is just silly. I would suggest that very few of our records would stand if we applied that definition. I have never lifted in a collar or button down. Nor have I ever excluded something without a collar or buttons when I speak of wearing a shirt. I think the supportive equipment issue is a slippery slope. I am not a huge proponent of new lifts. What purpose does it serve at this point? At any rate, good points and area for discussion

No sweat. Just felt like I sw a man almost die that day, if it were not for some quick moving spotters.

Be careful with this lift. It seemed like experienced chain lifters were gold with it, but there was a newby who pulled the weight off the platforms and almost smashed himself.

I do not know, but Chad, Frank, al, and Kevin Fulton have all lifted them. Maybe one of them will chime in

I am in charge of the merchandise now. Doubt I will be at the grip meet, as it is amidst wrestling season. I would be glad to ship one out to you, if we have what you want in stock

Looking forward to it! We have a good crew of lifters again this year. Best women’s division ever!
