Defection from the Mother Land

[bar-belle]

so those fuckers finally put one on?

guess this is their token 'growing the sport' attempt for the year...

solid training as usual R 8) 8) 8) 8)

Now that's some straight talking H :shock: . Guys like Darren Neves and others in the apa give alot of their personal time for no return but a passion for the sport. We really do need to "grow the sport" and give it more of a presence. How that will happen I don't know but there is plenty of healthy debate aye

Anyhoo it was at Get Strength and worth going. Only about 7 of us turned up..mainly the uni lifters and just me and VP...which is a real shame cos there was a lot of expertise there....Kevin Strachan, Steve King, Simon Weaver who are all seasoned lifters. Got some great tips from Simon. And I will happily share the love with you.... as I see that Big J is trying to trade for mud cake :pfft: typical :roll: Will fax you :grin:

Being a APA committe member myself, I would be one of "those fuckers" you are talking about.

Since it is obvious you are an expert on developing niche Sporting organisations, how about becoming a committe member and helping out rather than throwing cheap shots from the side lines.

The APA now run well organised comps which will be welcoming to anyone who was anticipating competing in our sport.

Were are a sport with little resources but do what we can. We (the committee members ) actually spent some of our own personal money to upgrade the equipment. When was the last time you participated in a NZPF or APA event instead of these soft cock Novice contests with no drug testing and soft judging?

Open your eyes before you open your mouth

Sorry Barbelle for that,

Training looking good (that was the original reason I looked at your log)

Good luck at Nationals, see you there

nice benching barbelle! 8)

barbrother, instead of saying 'well why dont you join the committe', re-read my post.

as for helping out, i love the sport, and volunteer my time to handle people for my club (cbc) and did some spotter loading at a comp at esbb recently. committe members arent the only ones giving time and/or money freely.

the APA do run great comps, agree. but we were talking about the whole nzpf.

As for your elitist attitude toward non-ipf comps, theres your answer to why the sport isnt growing.

perhaps you would prefer it if coast barbell/esbb/powerhouse stopped running 'soft cock novice comps'? im sure all these young guys getting in and having a go must be really holding back the sport :roll:

Open your eyes before you open your mouth

come back to me when the nzpf is matching the efforts of the non-profit organisations at growing the sport. the few seminars that have been put on (including the most recent) were/are fantastic - would be nice to see more of this type of thing. obviously you took my post to heart, i post how i talk.

this subject has been done to death already on PH, im not going to hijack bb's journal anymore.

sfs out.

So how much benefit is the sport getting from you calling the APA Fuckers?

and calling the clinic a 'token' effort. Implying that we only do it because we have to. Seems to be more negative than positives comments.

CBC, ESBB and PH are great for the sport. Aswell as Get Strength... :grin:

Novice Comps have there place. I just think that people not willing to progress from them onto IPF sanctioned only inhibits the sport IMO. For reasons I just cant understand

as for elitist attitude... yeah you get that with the big jobs :pfft:

The NZPF is in more control of policy and procedure and collectivley organising the regional associations. The drive within the regions (APA, CPA etc ) have more of a handle on the grassroots of PL and are doing thier upmost to improve the sport with scarce resources.

That is why I took your post offensivley...just seemed like a comment that was slagging off any attempts to improve the sport

[Big john]

with respect to both SFS and Barbrother i think the subject would be better broached in the General or PLing tread?? not someones Journal who building up for nats?

[BarBrother]

Chur John, the topic has been done to death

But was really keen on getting the last word lol

Go hard BB

[bar-belle]
