I have an interest in knowing just who are the best powerlifters in Australia given there are now at least 6 federations in Australia.

I feel that such a list provides a good reference point to compare, although there are important differences between federations.

If anyone sees a mistake or information missing please advise and I will update.

Chris, in all honestly there will be less interest here than on ProRaw, and all the issues markos pointed out are still relevant.

LOL

*inserts that slab that markos wrote*


but it is true, u cant compare lifts from different feds that are done under different technicalities.
 
True, i know there are differences for each fed, but thought for bench and deadlifts especially it was an interesting exercise. I will probably just post those two exercises which do not suffer from differences such as wraps, perhaps depth, walking back for squats and so on.

In reality, the best comparison is between GPC, CAPO and GPA for obvious reasons.

The inclusion of PA lifters is interesting for other reasons.

I am not going to make any other comment besides that two officials from two other feds thought it was a useful exercise.

I think if anyone makes the top ten of all feds they are gun lifters, especially in the case of PA.
