I wish we could have made it, because Di would have cleaned up in the women's division, but somebody went and scheduled a PL meet on the same day!

Yeah & to be honest I'd be at the Powerhouse Open if it was on another day! A great comp, I'd say the texts will be flying thick n fast between Akld & Wgtn to check up on each others results! :nod:

Furthermore, the inaugural Eastside Open is happening on the same day also. Some raw records will be smashed. What a trifecta of strength excellence. :nod:

Imaginary Lat Syndrome suffers

is this a documented disease nate?

Maybe so! A Syndrome tho, rather than a disease, although I think you can catch that shit at Les mills! :pfft:

I googled it:

Damn - I forgot ESB comp was kicking in as well. 3 of the most worthy strength comps on the NZL calendar! My txt will be crossing the strait as well to see how MZ, DrSq (at PH??), GF etc are going.

I am staying in Christchurch to support the Eastside comp mate. Hoping for a big raw total! :pray:

Hey bro,

Could you take photos of each events for us? Be keen to see what it all looks like esp the stones.

Is there a under and over 105class? if so what weights are under 105 lifting?

Bro,

Check out the Powerhouse forum for photo's from last years event.

Under 105 lift same as HW's at NZSM, kinda good as a MW has the opportunity to win the event! (Hasn't happened though but was close in 2007, MW Richard Kilgour tied points with Big Mac & Nickoli, Big Mac won on countback).

So NZSM, BBro, North Islands and the ESB comp all on the same day? That's crazy :shock:

In order of importance it would go:

1st equal NZSM, BBro, ESB

4th North Islands! Aka the comp no-one ever bothers going to & should be taken off the NZPF Calendar!!! :grin:

WORD.

NZSM should be good. I'll be standing on the other side of the rope and doing the public events... haggis hurl, caber and sheaf. 3 Bottles of Drambuie will be a good haul.

I would favour NZSM with Heavy Duty Magele & Nickoli the Hammer going head to head, with Jono in the crowd half way thru his 3 bottles of Drambuie! :grin:

I think the NZSM has priority and the BBro is a close second. I hope in time that the Eastside Open can be the South Island equivalent of the BBro. I still dream of a powerful raw PL federation in NZ. :nod:

In terms of the NI champs, why isn't this held at the same time as the SI champs? June/July from memory.

BBro is an awesome comp, definately an equal to NZSM @ Akld Highland Games. Would get edged out IMO if NZSM was at Big Boys Toys like in 08, but by far the best PLing comp in NZL! ESB will step up the game for the SI for sure!

NI's have been seen as an Akld regional comp by many, no one from CDPA really attended, unsure of historical uptake tho?
