The way GPC is run, is my view Chris, that's why we've structured it that way.
There are NO age categories in meets.
We don't lower the rings in basketball because someone is short, so why do the same with PL?
PL is about lifting weights, and particularly, the person who can lift the most at a particular body weight.
By eliminating all of the teen/junior/masters divisions, we've gone from winning by default, by having to beat up to 20 lifters, in your class at a meet.
The only reason age categories exist at GPC is for records.
We do however, at our nationals, give a 1st place to male/female teen/masters based on gloss.
So you're justifying the cheating in powerlifting because people in another sport cheat?? Makes sense??
Huh?
its not cheating if it's a "not tested" fed
No. If I remember right from other discussions on this, in the untested Feds the rules still state that you can't be on PEDs. It's still cheating just that you're not getting caught. So yes it is cheating if you are breaking the rules.
yes, gerry you should give back that medal, you did not beat anyone and came second last overall in masters.
Have some dignity mate.
And gerry, have you ever been to Rob's place, I have.

Are you here just to be a cock?
If so, kindly leave.
I like the fact there are no age groups in GPC - just another way to spark competition.....
