Didnt know you had to qualify to lift at the nationals..
How do you go about doing that?
So far the numbers at this years States are
NSW.... 24 raw - 6 equipped
NT........ 3 raw - 4 equipped
Vic...... 21 raw - 11 equipped
QLD..... No f u c k i n g idea
WA...... 21 raw - 3 equipped
69 lifted raw 24 equipped. Times are changing.
If a gym puts up its hand Joel, I reckon they could easily hold a Canberra States on its own. Were working on a Sydney gym at the moment.
