I agree with all of you, keep it separate, if you want to score a overall meet lifter, then no 33%. Your not getting me this time Al, lol.
St
sorry for the loss Thom!!! I have heard many stories about Wayne, he will be missed!!
Thanks to all the lifters for there amazing efforts, I was impressed enough to agree to go to England next year and compete in the world meet, big thanks to the gym members and ET for coming out and helping!! Great job to Al and Chad for setting all this up, was awsome meeting new friends and getting to see old ones!!

Thom,
Since I can not get a straight answer from anyone, and will not drive 6 hours and not be allowed to lift, then best of luck with the comp. A lot of these issues could be handled better if those in charge would take a stand on something, instead no one wants to hurt any ones feelings. When any of the newer lifters suggest something, the older members immediately shut it down, leave meetings, or find a way to shelf it. Al is one of my best friends and has worked his ass off to help grow all around, unfortunately if there is not any progression there will not be a organization in a few years. Also if were gonna take a hard stance, make the rules the same for everyone, regardless of age, legend of the sport, or head asshole like me. You guys might think its a badge of honor to have knee replacements, hip replacements, etc, I however do not and although I’m sure my knees will be done at some point, I would like to prolong that as long as possible. The most humorous part of this is that a lot are so against a piece of neoprene, yet a lifter was allowed to compete with MRSA at a comp recently and risk every ones health. By the way that will not happen at IAWA worlds, because regardless who is the meet director its being held at my gym, where I coach kids, and have members who will not be put at risk. I’m sure this will be deleted, but hopefully a few will see this. I will not bring up anything more on this subject on this forum, nor will I suggest things I think may help in the future.

ET,
Next year Im going to ask them to approve Wet suits, and duck tape. that way I can be extra warm in all areas, and I can just tape my joints in place. I figured if knee sleeves made this big of a splash, what would a 7mm wet suit cause, lol.
ST
Thom, you still did not answer my question.
If I show up at the old time strongman comp with a docs note saying its medically necessary for me to wear them can I?
ST
Dale,
How do you really feel?
Al, YES YES YES!!
ST
leave it up to another superheavy under the age of 40 to finally understand it.
if I keep posting I should quickly become the #1 ahole. Sorry Thom you better work harder for that, cause theres a new sheriff in town.
ST
also neoprene shorts have been allowed at meets before, the all around nats hosted in Salina a few years ago had a lifter wear them,and Bill was present,I know cause I set next to him all day.
ST
Scott: I have a set of your knee sleeves….I LOVE THEM and actually agree with you on using all that other stuff with limitations….it’s just an all or nothing deal and right now we are a nothing organization…
Thom,
To quote you how are we a all or nothing fed? You must know better than this, as I have see you wear both a belt and wrist wraps before.
also I asked a question above, If I come to the old time strongman comp with a Drs. note will I be allowed to wear my knee sleeves, or because Im not someones idol or a legend of odd lifting will I be turned down?
ST
Can we wear stocking caps on the platform, I dont care about being strong anymore, I jsut want to look awsome.
ST
and just so you know, Im in favor of wrist wraps, knee wraps, knee and elbow sleeves(that are within agreed upon guidelines) and belts. I agree no suits or bench shirts.
ST
Al,
my comment is to the guys who are trashing knee sleeves, and then also saying that no gear should be allowed, but then go and wear wrist wraps, which to me are much more supportive. Ill admit that I have worn sleeves in USAWA comps, mostly because I forgot they were on, hell I wear them to bed, lol. But the last several times I have competed I have taken them off, mainly outta respect for you,I don’t want you getting crapped on because your training partner wore those ridiculously thick mega supportive sleeves, lol. If I can wear them in the Strongman nats that Thom is putting on with a doctors note i will compete, if not there is no way in hell Ill do that meet, its not worth it to me, and as always Ill continue to be a member and support the comp like i always have either way.
ST
so do the wrist wraps that can be worn for every lift, i hope all who vote no quit wearing those also.
By the way,I want clarification. If a doctor says I need to wear knee sleeves can I wear them, I like Wilbur, Hes one of my idols, but he was wearing the same 5-6MM neoprene sleeve that I wear,and they provide more heat and are thicker than the woven ones you train in Al.and legend or not the rules should be the same for everyone. Also alot of guys voting know are putting less than 100lbs overhead and cant squat much over 100-200lbs, while i have the utmost respect for them still competing, its different than those of us who put over 300lbs overhead, ad squat 500-600lbs or more. Have fun flaming me after this one, lol.
