Was looking at the qualifying totals for the BWLA comp and noticed that my wife has a qualifying total (just).

Im trying to convince her to have a go at compition. I think it could be a good motivation for her to get a 200kg total.

what are the womans comps like? are the people quite friendly?

I think they compete together in a different category with the men in the same comps. Yea definately get her involved if she's interested, comps are fun and good for motivation.

all comps are great fun !!!

and if she did/does qualify at national level (she is very light i recall) then she would probably get a silver medal, as the womens comps are poorly represented

gold !! gold !! always believe in your soul......youve got the power to know....

To cut a long story short you should compete unless you are very highly strung. But firstly you need to build a foundation of strength and make sure you are doing the lifts technically correct. For many people the sugden website is a lifeline so stick with it because a lack of communication can let you down. Of course your first competition can be a little stressful and you could be telling yourself that I don't need this pressure on, but everyone in powerlifting is very supportive of each other.

ok I think thats as many Spandau Ballet gags as I can fit in one paragraph.

as a female newbie i agree with what was said above that we need more women, that sugden is a lifeline but most of all that everyone (at least in the NW division which is the only one I have experience of) is really friendly and supporitve and despite the fact that I am as weak as - I dont feel silly for competing and doing my best Grin
