stalkers Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 umm i think due to the fact theres heaps more lifters here,PA doesnt have to help out a competing organisation.Its not in their best interests.Bear in mind i live about 3 hrs away from Melbs,and the closest PA powerlifters lives 80 kms away,so if a GPC lifter lived in this area and contacted me,id probably go have a train if it suited me.

startinfromscratch Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 It's good that the PL scene in NZ has settled down now. As Reddog says shit got very personal and nasty when CAPO first came to NZ. From the outside looking in it seems that the NZ scene has found some sort of balance. Guy in the op vid seems like a top notch phaggott. Boosting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stalkers Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 its a reasonable question.i suppose "why not" is as well.Im not going to pretend i know more than what i do as im out of the loop,but im guessing that theres not a lot of powerlifters in nz so breaking away and dividing the talent up would be a good reason not to.

So really it's not a case of breaking away or division at all. Myself for example.Why should people only have one option? Which is the same as having no options. By lifters having choice it encourages federations to make their competitions better as they are essentially competing for members and lifters. This is only a good thing in my opinion.More federations = more competitions. A bigger comp calendar. Again only a good thing. By having more comps on it exposes more people to powerlifting. Powerlifting is bigger in NZ now that we have 3 Feds compared to when there was 1. There is no argument really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stalkers Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 well i identify with that to a degree as i never joined nzpf due to the comps being few and far between in the area i lived in and at the wrong time of the year for me anyway.plus i was crap and needed to find an easier way to make money so i could train to get a sort of "competitive" standard.I see looking at the calendar now,theres definately more comps and thats probably due to opposing feds starting up.So what you are saying about a monopoly rings true.

Realtalk Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Nzfbb used to be drug tested. Nabba didn't. Was nzfbb any more clean than Nabba? No.There has been a natural bbing comp held in Taupo every year for longer than I have been lifting weights. It used to be the ONE natural show a year in NZ... And you still got drug users showing up to that to compete. Please tell me how powerlifting is any different?That's an example of just because there is drug testing doesn't mean it is clean. Anyway GPC and upanz doesn't drug test. No big deal. If you want to be tested go to nzpf if you don't then go to GPC/upanz.There is a one novice comp rule in nzpf too. You can do one novice comp then you sign up and become a member buy all the gear to compete and sign up to the drug testing. You have to do this if you want to compete again in a years time. It's not one novice comp annually it's one for eternity. So GPC is getting lots of novice lifters coming who want to do one comp a year. My girlfriend does this, she wants to test her strength she gains in Crossfit in a powerlifting comp cause it's a legit and consistent means of testing. Signing up and buying all the stuff with nzpf because her knee sleeves she uses in Crossfit aren't approved in nzpf is just too exoensive so she can just enter as many times as a novice as she likes. Not everyone is a drug user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not accusing anyone of anything to do with drugs bro,i smoked weed on and off in nz,im pretty sure thats on the banned list.im not getting on my soap box here at all.however there is the disquieting aspect of the underworld element in your fed.Is that true or not?

Realtalk Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Underworld? The GPC NZ is a legitimate not for profit organisation. The books are open for all members, anytime on request.I'm sure there are members in the GPC who have on occasion walked across the road when the light was red. I'm sure this is also the case in PA. The federation itself though is 100% legitimate and underworld... No, just no.People need to clean their own closets before they come and clean somebody else's.

Realtalk Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Not interested and don't care. GPC NZ is full of good people. GPC Aus isn't the organisation I'm involved in or lift for. I am a member of GPC NZ and I lift in GPC NZ events.If there are bikies involved in GPC Aus then that's nothing to do with what we do in NZ. I don't care.
