well to save hassle and stress I just joined WPU which under exceptional circumstances they have agreed to extend for next year also so that I can do the 4 nations this year and not have to pay £20 membership for a few months.

LOL - it's not my user-account - and I think maybe ubuntu refers to the South African word (an ethic or humanist philosophy focusing on people's allegiances and relations with each other) rather than a computer operating system Wink

Hey bryn will the NW Open in December be open to non-NW division BWLA members? I know it's equipped but unequipped lifters can compete in equipped comps can't they?

On the subject of non-BWLA members in BWLA competitions - I can see why non-BWLA members can't compete especially with the ridiculous liability stuff these days. What about BWLA-affiliated members though? Because I am a BWLA member and not a WPU (Welsh Powerlifting Union) member I wasn't going to be allowed to compete for Wales at the 4 nations unless I joined WPU even though WPU is affiliated to BWLA. Why does BWLA have a Wales division if you still have to join WPU to compete in and for Wales? That means I have to have 2 memberships and thus pay more.... The WPU membership I have will also be applicable for 2008 - would I be able to compete at BWLA comps with WPU membership next year???? It sounds to me as if powerlifting needs to start unifying rather than splintering!!!!

My progress is staggering mainly because 2.5 years ago I had barely set hand on a free weight and never squatted or deadlifted. Also at that time I weighed somewhere in the region of 48kg. When I started weights I couldnt bench press a 20kg bar.

2 years ago:
Deadlift 105kg
Squat 55kg
Bench 37.5kg
BW 56kg

January this year
Deadlift 120kg
Squat 72.5kg
Bench 55kg
BW (63kg)

Now:
Deadlift 145kg
Squat 100kg
Bench 62.5kg
BW 65kg (or more)
