long time lurker Member 1435, 149 posts SQ 240, BP 200, DL 0440.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | I train for another sport so my powerlifting maxes are a bit pants, because i mainly focus on more specific olympic lifts; spend lots of time doin behind neck jerks and split snatches, quad tests and jumps etc.. but i need some motivation to lift some heavy ass weights. and of course id like to throw on a singlet and get something on paper. Are there any novice powerlifting comps in late 2010? im based in guildford so obviously the closer the better! thanks guys! | ||

 not particularly well educated Member 85, 10990 posts SQ 170, BP 130, DL 260560.0 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | i would'nt worry about novice comps ,as you're lifts are pretty competative for your weight ,check out the gbpf website they run comps throughout the year! | ||

long time lurker Member 1435, 149 posts SQ 240, BP 200, DL 0440.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | i cant seem to get the GBPF website to work properly at the moment, but the dropdown that does work on the right says this: Most recent British records... Male: 26/06/2010: Luke Conboy, U23 110kg class - 230.00kg Squat that cant be right surely? when i click on any of the menu links i get 'Server Error in '/' Application'? | ||

long time lurker Member 1435, 149 posts SQ 240, BP 200, DL 0440.0 kgs @ 118kgs UnEq | im even more surprised at the deadlift record! ive never really trained the deadlift hard, only through olympic pulls! GBPF allow sumo right? being 6ft7 its much more comfortable for me! so looks like i will definitly enter a comp later this year hopefully november/december time, when i go through a few more weeks strength training at the end of my season. im not 23 till next year so as long as i can stay at 110 it could be a possibility! am i an u23 until december 31st like in other sports, or until m birthday in march? thanks! | ||

GBPF's website is a pile of s**t that hasn't worked properly for over a year now (I got that exact same error when I tried to look up meets last summer!) If you google "GBPF competitions" then you get a link that works but it's ridiculous that they still haven't fixed the link on their main page. | ||
