Well, at least someone in this thread knows what they're talking about.
Bit difficult to compete in a PA event when it entails 3 flights totally 26 hours in air time and can't compete locally as a guest as PA are now listed as a "naughty fed". Then worlds is just 6 hour drive away so it's just a case of logistics. Not allowed to compete at worlds as a PA member, not allowed to compete as an independent athlete (as did in the olympics) so thats the only way to get the job done.
In June I will be hearing the announcer say, "The bar is loaded" while I chalk up. But Sparty will be on the couch saying that he "coulda been a contender if/but".
what a man you are, all those powerlifting comps. a real alpha male.
good on you.
I like powerlifting, but have never rated it is a tough sport to compete in. now playing footy is tough. even running is tougher as when the gun goes you better be ready.
those who have seen me compete in weightlifting and Olympic lifting, if they can ever remember my mediocre performances, will know I am a good competitor.
it is sensible, in my opinion, to compete only when you are ready. it s a not a crime to stay away from competition if you are not ready. I had one bozo tell my pain in my knee was in my head, only for a surgeon to tell me had stress fractures that were similar to those only experienced in a serious car crash. tbh, my squats have been down ever since and I still get pain in the knee area.
I am not fussed what you think bigmouth. keep pretending you are an alpha male. I know that you are not, like most males. of course, Gerry is an exception.
