[spartacus]

good effort, just hope we can results quicly, still do not know results of FitX powerlifting

 

[NAPARM]

You left out all the CAPO comps...

 

[spartacus]

Well spotted Dave, and what about ADFPF.

 

[Sticky]

Do ADFPF still run comps? How many lifters attend?


Awesome work mate.

 

[spartacus]

probably three, few went to CAPO and some to PA

[Beeman]

The Woollongong events won't happen now but most others will I'd say.

 

[kaz]

PA seem to have alot of local comps.
I know theres a new strength gym opened in Narellan by Scott Hill.

 

[WoodyAllen]

You left out all the CAPO comps...

He didn't leave anything out. You would have to be the author of that list in order to leave anything out. The fact that it was lifted, copy and pasted, straight off the Size Matters forum is a bit cheeky. Giving a credit, at the least, or ask for permission, would be the less leachy way to go.

Samson, the SM member who put that list together, put a lot of work into that and subsequent revisions. Other members are adding to the list. Maybe members here could go check it out.

Well whoever made it did a half assed job, they left out all the CAPO comps, all the DFPA comps & a heap of strongman comps...

 

[Beeman]

And he was well aware of the fact!!!

At least he knew what content was missing. I don't even think the "admin" of this forum would know what or who a CAPO is!!

 

[kaz]

Dont be dissing the Admin

 

[Beeman]

Didnt diss anyone......just stating facts!

 

[kaz]

We at Ausbb take all complaints seriously.
Reffering matter to complaints department.

 

[spartacus]

No, he knows CAPO. he was the most regular spotter at 2011 CAPO nationals.

Great effort by Graham that weekend.

he lifted 115 tonnes in 2 days.

 

[kaz]

I heard Admin once challenged a rock to a staring contest and won.
