Hi All,

Have attached an Entry Form for The Powerhouse Open, this is just to give us an idea of numbers so we can organise the flights (session spilts). Either email or post it in, you can still rock on up on the day, but to get an idea of which flight you are in (ie 100kg lifter arriving 8.00am and lifting in the afternoon) it would be best to check first, you could miss out on 2 all you can eat Big Breakfasts. \:D/

Also attached the Comp Flyer times may change depending on the lifters, but this is how it will probably run. Any queries regarding the rules of competition, I will send out, infact I might post them up soon.

Stay Strong

Good to see another quality line up at the House - these Comps are always the best PLing Comps in NZ.

Wish I could be there to see big Rona and Danny Nemani SFWs, and see the battle between training partners Maddog Jonson & Carlossus "65" Hoskin.

Good to see some old campaigners coming out to play - good luck to the Wairapa boys big Tony & Danny W, and Brett Guthrie (it must be a decade since you hit the platform?).

All the best to all lifting, go hard and SFW!!!!!!!!!

Congrats to OB and Ruth (Mrs OB) on a job well done running the PH Open. Apoligies for not making the meet but from all accounts it was enjoyed by all (lifters and spectators)...if there are any spare protein cookies OB...hee hee hee you, can flick some up this way :wink:

Well done to all the helpers, spotter loaders and refs making this meet happen. Of course we cant forget the lifters (old hands and novices), top effort and way to finish the year off!! :clap:

Hope to see you all in the new year sometime mixing it up again on the platform.

Stay strong

She does lift sumo. The same rules apply for both men and women.

Small

Sumo is more than Conventional for female lifters, stronger legs than back, wider hip/pelvic area and women with longer legs. The sumo deadlift effectively shortens the distance the bar has to be vertically moved.

It is a bit more of a technical lift, but quite effecient, Maria weighed 57kgs about 2.6 times body weight in that lift.

Men a quite sucessful at it too here is MZ

Group photo of some of the lifters at the Bledisbro still waiting on other pics to come in.
