Do hugs, not drugs. Member 136, 712 posts SQ 380, BP 242.5, DL 330 952.5 kgs @ 110kgs Eq	http://www.welshpowerlifting.com/wsa/default.aspx http://www.welshpowerlifting.com/wsa/comps.aspx Here's a good example of BWLA and non BWLA lifters, lifting together in Wales. I believe this could be successful in the North West, so as to attract more into powerlifting. This mixed route would result in more of an expansion of lifters for BWLA than BPC in the long run.

Nothing left in the tank. Member 5, 25589 posts Administrator	I think its a good idea, but having said that the group of lifters in south wales / bristol area is a unique one, the tested and untested boys get on like a house on fire - i just cant see ot working as well in the other regions

Perhaps he should have a go at it himself? Simply find a venue with the appropriate stands, weights, warmup area, get a group of spotters, 3 referees, scorer, MC then promote the event. It may work.

Maybe help some hard core gyms to organise their own in-house single lifts events, for example, and use the events as a recruiting point for the sport. Where newbies went after that would depend on whether they wanted to go down the tested or untested route, but most gym goers, many of whom are close to the required standard, are simply not exposed to the sport and have never been given the opportunity to get into it. I've personally introduced at least 8 people to the sport who would never have done it otherwise because they wouldn't have known where to start, and they're just the tip of the iceberg. Three have dropped out, btw, but 5 are still active and they, in time, may themselves introduce others and we start a networking effect, but we've got to find a will and a way to hit our core roots to make that happen.

I agree - I would love for there to be other powerlifters in my gym. And many people have been very interested and receptive to me when they have asked me what I am doing (especially now with all these weird bits of clothing appearing). I think alot of iron-pumping mirror-fixated guys could be easily recruited to the sport given the opportunity and a decent demonstration.

I think you may be overlooking the fact that you are young and attractive, believe me when I trained in a conventional gyms, no-one came within twenty feet. And the mirror fixated will fast lose interest when they discover heavy singles and power bellys

Scotbasher - forever Member 59, 2115 posts	I think all lifters should be ambassadors for the sport and be aiming to recruit new talent. We have been in talks with the Yorks and N.E about a "Roses Cup" contest for junior/novice lifters which would be a great contest for newcomers to make a start especially if they had guidance from all the experienced lifters.

I personally prefer the stiffest possible. Member 158, 3110 posts SQ 170, BP 107.5, DL 222.5 500.0 kgs @ 67.4kgs UnEq	I personally think that mixing tested and un-tested is not a good idea. BWLA members are anti drugs (or at least they should be) so running a comp with ppl on performance enhancers seems to me to go against the grain. I know a lot of BWLA lifters who wouldnt actually spectate at a non-tested comp purely on the fact its not tested. To get more lifters I think PL needs to be advertised more. For example how do I find out about BWLA comps?, I usually hear through the grapevine. The SW doesnt even have a website thats operational and up-to-date. more advertising is the key IMO. Paul

Does f*ck all for SugdenBarbell.co.uk Member 1, 7173 posts SQ 182.5, BP 110, DL 205 497.5 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq Administrator	I think saying that BWLA members "should be anti-drugs" is a ridiculous statement. I'm a BWLA member but I certainly wouldn't boycott BPC events because of that, in fact I have been to a couple and enjoyed them - both federations have a good atmosphere and a lot of great lifters worth watching. I have trained with BPC lifters and will certainly continue to do so in the future. We are all powerlifters - and avoiding narrow minded and closed points of views are the best way to take the sports forward. Drug use is an individual choice, as long as people are honest about it that's all that matters to me. Further, I really don't think people should just pass comment on other federations without having some experience of their competitions or lifters.
