EDCLARKE said:Pause front squat competition:
Rule 1 , minimum standard of dress to take part is a vest , but if you want to replicate Andy Littlers ultra raw squat video that's fine too.
Rule 2 whilst pausing the squat at the bottom the contestants must recite a poem , verse from a song , or any other interesting recital.
2 weight categories , over 95k and under 95k ,trophies for first place and a third trophy for the best video .
Competition starts from this Saturday ( 22nd of March)

Knee sleeves permitted or not ?

That feel when there's never an u80kg class. 
The original SPOLa had an u78kg "lightweight" class. Would like to see a return of that for the tiny guys.

Lets create a splinter group!! Even though i'm still fat and over 80 :/
Knee sleeves ok , no wraps .
For the lighter lads unfortunately yes your at a disadvantage , but 1 it's not the winning its the taking part that counts , and 2 There's a couple of British guys at worlds strongest man this year Ben Kelsey and Hixy they weigh about 125/130kg they are competing against Brian shaw who weighs 200kg plus , I make that a 75kg disadvantage so things could be a lot worse.
I'd add another weight class but I can't be arsed to make an extra trophy!

shortandmighty said:Awesome, I'm in. will there be a points system based on length of time paused over weight of squat
No
It will just lead to argument , however failing to pause the squat for long enough will lead to disqualification. ( poor pronunciation will also be penalised)

As many entries as you like mate , I'll run the comp for 6 to 8 weeks so you can do a starting point vid and then train the lift and see how much you progress by the end.
Best hone your accent so we can understand you

Extra points if we dont wash the vest for 6-8 weeks? Extra points for a Rab C string vest?
Obviously the worse state the vest the more points , bonus points for a kilt and tartan cap orange wig combo

What about just being ginger :P And if I do the pausie wearing a kilt (i'm not going to) but hyperthetically, and go commando, so at the bottom my tip pokes out while i pause, will this get me bonus points ?

The only thing that will get you is a load of unsolicited pm's from Boar comprising of naked photos and directions to a carpark off the m6. Trust me you don't want to go there.
