Idea is to have a gym meet and invite some of the greater manchester area people we know along as well. Raw and relaxed is the name of the game, good for the new ones to try out doing all big three with comp standards. What do you folks think, should we have it in sugden? if so, how do we get everyone in and the chest and bicep boys out of the way? or should we do it somewhere else? Like jonnys dungeon, rhinos gym or something like that? Perhaps even moss side? And we need to decide a date, somewhere mid december was one suggested time. | ||

Gone squatting Member 12, 386 posts SQ 250, BP 155, DL 260665.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | Holding it in sugden would be a pain in the arse. Think of getting people in, over crowded, crap bench, crap bar, waiting on benches, squat racks, etc. What is the Rhino's gym like and were is it? | ||

 Does f*ck all for SugdenBarbell.co.uk Member 1, 7173 posts SQ 182.5, BP 110, DL 205497.5 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq Administrator | Having it in Sugden would be cool, but as others have said it's not terribly practical. I liked the suggestion of Adlington the most personally - I think that would be the most realistic atmosphere as it were. The dungeon would be a good venue but it would be a bit too small if there were around 10 people there. Definitely a great idea though. December sounds like a good time to me. | ||

Dungeon would be the coolest - that must count for something  Adlington sounds like a great idea as well. I guess sugden sucks arse actually, which i guess is part of the price you have to pay for being part of Sugden barbell... | ||

 Невыносимо Высокомерный (RIP) Member 11, 965 posts SQ 190, BP 140, DL 255585.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq | I quite like the idea of Sugden really, partly because it is Sugden Barbell after all, and also precisely because Sugden is so manifestly unsuited to holding a powerlifting competition. I think forcibly co-opting the gym for a meet would be great! The bench is a definite negative though, cos it is s**t. And fun though it might sound in theory, it might be a bit of a nightmare in practice. What about judges? Anyone thought of that? | ||

Seems a bit unfair to have different judges on different lifts. And if Badboy was judging, who would judge Badboy if he was competing? | ||

left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | Jim Blanchflower? I dont know - but we will figure out something. Point is that it is a gym meet, which means it is a relaxed atmosphere but still to comp standards. I mean after all we need to be loading eachothers lifts as well and stuff. It is not a proper comp - or are you suggesting that we should make it as proper as possible short of being registered? | ||

 Eat.Cycle.Sleep.Win Member 2, 12511 posts SQ 190, BP 150, DL 280620.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq Administrator | I thought it was meant to just be a laugh. Get the lads together for some lifting and any other random s**t that we can think of.... For me, the Dungeon or Addlington, id much prefer the Dungeon because of the strongman stuff. That would be awesome. I wouldnt worry too much about judging, its not like it actually counts for anything, and im positive that every lift will be videoed anyway what with me, VL and Rob all having digital cameras capable of video. | ||

 slightly smaller bat Member 15, 304 posts SQ 135, BP 70, DL 147.5352.5 kgs @ 63kgs Eq | Hello all at Sugden. I have trained with you guys once and watched the Sugden Barbell team at their first PL competition the Northwest open back in May and aim to try competing myself. If you have an informal meet I think it would be great competition practice for me so I would def be down for that if that were cool. | ||

left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | yo fruity! I think that would be great - and we could also invite the Salford women powerlifters as well, some of them are really good, but some haven't yet competed, so it would be a good crew to try things out with. Hey folks: i dont have a single available weekend in december  So lets start talking dates - first official meeting at the squat rack today between sets 4 and 5, at about 2pm. | ||

I am not here in december much, so i would suggest november. How does 19th of November sound? Is that too quickly after October comp? | ||

left the country satisfied Member 10, 19241 posts SQ 240, BP 150, DL 270660.0 kgs @ 107kgs UnEq | one idea bounced around was that we would have the sugden gym meet on 22nd of October. Those who are doing the manchester & district could just do their openers on that day (Tokar - would that have been your plan anyway to do openers on week before?). Opinions? | ||
