can someone please tell me how a PL comp is run? do u get 3 attempts at everylift? if u complete the lift then u can have another go at ur next heavier weight, but cant go backward in weight obviously.

so example deadlift:

1st 100kg

2nd 120kg

3rd 140kg

if u fucked up the 2nd attempt (120kg) then is that it like SM max log? as in you cant attempt the 3rd

Tom.. you get 3 attempts at each lift. If you miss lift 1 then you have 2 more attempts at a. the same weight. b. if not told, the table (Refs) will put it up automatically 2.5kg or c. you can opt to go heavier still.

There is no going backward in weight.

The head ref will normally give the lifters a brief prior to lifting as to how he would like things to run but here is afew things you may want to consider...

Wear plain clothes. No big flashy logos are normally accepted. Keep shorts to mid thigh length too.

You are only allowed to wear shorts, and tee shirt if lifting raw along with shoes and socks......or the approved PL costume/singlet etc

Tee shirts must be round neck not Vee, not zips, pockets or buttons. Denim is not acceptable. Sleeves must terminate above the elbow but you cant wear shoulder cut-off sleeves sorry tough guy :lol:

Long socks are required for the deadlift.

Shoes should be flat soles or proper lifting shoes. Deadlift slippers are allowed for the deadlift.

Underpants have to be briefs not boxers or boxer type garments. Leave your sparkley thong at home too :lol:

Belt - only a nonpadded PL belt with a max width of 10cm and 13mm thickness can be used.

Wrist warps - under 1m in length and less than 8cm wide

Knee warps - under 2m in length and 8cm wide.

You can wear medical tape (2 layers only) on the thumbs.

Torn or unclean items will be rejected.

No oil, grease or lubricant is allowed on the body. You can use chalk and talc though.

Thats about the basics...the rest is putting it together on the platform in a professional manner. Cursing, swearing etc is not looked upon favourable and will normally get you a warning. I can possibly help you out on the day if you want as most of our lifters will be lifting early in the session or in the first group :wink:

No you will need shoes or boots - the underside must be flat

Yip...Im sure they would be fine at a novice . The wharehouse has "Active" hockey socks for $2-$5 pair if needed

no bling bling clothing?

sorry T..Your going to have to leave your little black dress at home :lol: They are mostly concerned about big flashy logos and big text. The small logos are fine...eg Nike, Adidas or your favourite TandT :lol: are ok on the front but you wouldnt be allowed to wear your Hannah Montana tee.

damn gonna have to go shopping for some normal clothes lol jokes haha

Saw you parked at the Hospice shop...howd you get on? :grin:

why no logos? coz hannah montanna's tits stick up 1mm so ur bench isnt going all the way down?

LOL at Hannah's titties not bad.... now logo's its all politics and money mate, sponsors pay big money to have there logo's on the platform hence why you can't wear other logo's just a plain T and a pair off plain shorts chuck shoes or sneakers what ever you got rugby socks or cheap socks from warehouse... good to roll....

see ya there

Ring around chemists would be the easiest way at short notice...smelling salts.

I'll be coming up & may even do a few events on Saturday (depends what time I arrive) but am really only heading up for the invitational comp on Sun. Yesterday was the first day in a month I could even walk properly without pain so I'd be an easy beat for you at the moment Tom! :nod: Managed my first leg training in a month (light extns & leg curls) so thats positive!

Will be good to catch up though, you could decide whether to do NZSM or HBSM comp which will be on the same weekend......EASY MONEY! :nod:

Thats the one Jess,

The ammonia snap capsules are better but are items you need to order through EliteFTS etc well in advance.
