I have seen world class lifters lifting world class poundages in shirt and shorts.
Zadrunis Savikas, Darrin Sadler, Phil Phister, Karl Gillingham, Jesse Marunde, Brian Shaw, etc. I know it is a different sport, but it is a strength sport. those guys looked far from novice while lifting.

None of these would qualify to lift in the All-Rounds, as we don’t allow drug cheats!!!!!!!

How about these names! Real “DRUG FREE” legends. Howard Prechtel, John Vernacchio, Frank Allen, Barry Anderson, Rick Meldon, Bob Hirsh, just to name a few. In that group, i am proud to add myself! Every time any one of them stepped on to a platform they always wore a leotard.

And just a little food for thought. Many of you compete in Highland Games. How many of you would turn up to compete “NOT” wearing a kilt!?!?!?!? A kilt is part of the heritage of Scottish heavy events, and every one of you wears a kilt with pride, so why not take pride in your All-Round lifting and wear a leotard? Or do you “NOT” feel the same pride stepping onto an All-Round platform as you do a Highland games Field?!?!?!?

whether or not they use AS has nothing to do with my point. My point was that they are/were world class strength athletes and what they wore while competing. I wonder if Ronnie Coleman was wearing a singlet when he lifting in the USAWA?

I got a kilt to compete in the scottish games because it started being required at some games. Otherwise, I probably would not have. What I wear when I lift has nothing to do with the pride I feel. I have pride everytime I pick up a bar or stone or whatever. And when I am training, it is often in something with holes in it. For me it has nothing to do with the outfit, it is the strength exhibited when lifting.

With that being said, we are each entitled to our opinion in this matter. For the time being it is legal in the USAWA for us to wear shirt/shorts. If that were to change, we would have to decide as individuals whether to put on the singlet or not participate in the USAWA.

Steve Schmodt didnt look like a novice when breaking Warren Travis’s rep record or the all time teeth lift records either. If it was required, I would wear one. However, until that time, I will be adequately dressed according to the ruules of the organization in my shorts and shirt.

Cant wait to get my water bottle! I do agree that we should keep in mind the dress code when officiating. If we are diligent with it, it will soon clean up.

Hopefully this olt time strongman thing catches on. As the first one of 2012, I hope to get a decent turnout of lifters. Get those entries in!

I have thought about getting Power magazine. Is it pretty good? I enjoyed Milo while I got it for a number of years, but when they doubled the price I had the choice to support them or support my family by paying the mortgage and buying food (if I bout milo at eighty-seven thousand dollars a year I could afford neither of these things) I had to opt out. And I can hear who all Thom knows on here or in person (LOL)

As modest as he is Scott has a pretty awesome grip. I was impressed as can be when I watched him lifting those Anvils by their horn.
