Hi Travis, Dominic, and Clay,
The reason that I am hosting these one-lift meets is two fold..........
1. I am trying to get some "new blood" into our meets and hopefully join us for our USAPL sancstioned meets. These unsanctioned meets will not be as costly (no membership cards, drug testing fees, meet sanction, etc.) I am sure that we will attract some lifters who have not lifted in our meets before. Once they see the type of meets that we host.........barload program, overhead projector, PA system, music, qualified judges, etc. Then some of these guys can take the next step to USAPL sanctioned events. I think that some fear that the sanctioned events are intimidating.
2. Jon Magendie- Tiger Powerlifting and Arval Bridges-LSU Powerlifting............will be hosting the full slate of sanctioned 3-Lift Meets.
Jon-Tiger Powerlifting: Full Meet on August 19 (with Push-Pull event)
Arval- LSU: on September 2
Jon- Fall Classic: (October 22)
Jon- University Cup (November 11)
State Meet (January 20) I'd really like for this event to be a fund raiser for ALL of the Collegiate lifters in Baton Rouge to help fund their way to Collegiate Nationals. I'll talk with Jon and Arval.
Paul- Women's Nationals (Feb. 16, 17, 18)
Arval-LSU Invitational (around Mardi Gras)
