Scotbasher - forever Member 59, 2115 posts | The GBPF NW bench contest is coming up on September 28th at Intershape in Colne. This is a great contest for first timers which could be useful preparation for the NW powerlifting champs at the end of Nov. You can opt to lift either unequipped or equipped, this contest will be a qualifier for the British bench championships held usually Jan/Feb. As usual guests and first timers are welcome, contact bevans5088@aol.com | ||

(Bolton-Preston area.) And, obviously, make sure you've joined the GBPF, have the proper clothes, etc. | ||

Cheers chris You do have to wear a singlet. You do have to wear a T shirt. Which must be either plain or have an approved sponser's name on it. For example SBD, Titan, Inzer If you wear wrist wraps you must unloop the thumb loop when lifting or it may be counted as padding and the lift failed. A belt is optional And remember The loaders are there to help and they will do, so you must be clear in your instructions. "One two three go" when you want it lifting off and "my bar" when you have it under control are simple enough but you would be amazed just how many lifters think the loaders can read their minds. They can't. Help them to help you. | ||
