I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10037 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | What conditions does a lift have to satisfy to qualify for a commonwealth record? I know Joe's gets in because the (bigger) British record predates the commonwealth records being instituted, but that's clearly not all there is to it. Does it need to be a national-level or higher comp or something? | ||

I am a bench-only guy Member 3, 10037 posts SQ 185, BP 175, DL 235595.0 kgs @ 140kgs UnEq Administrator | 215kg. It's listed as the British record on http://www.ynecawla.org.uk/bwpl.htm, so I think it should be ok... | ||
