GPC Australia grading scale

[Sticky]

Here is a grading scale put together by Scott and Tish Wasson. We have looked over the numbers, and have agreed to adopted these as the scale for GPC Australia.

These are done for raw and equipped, male and female, and are based on current standards from other federations and the WR's in GPC.

Elite status will be quite an achievement, and GPC will make sure you get a certificate congratulating you on being a strong son of a gun as soon as you can total elite.

These will not be backdated, you must total elite from today

Kind regards,
Team GPC Australia

Can I pretend those are in pounds?

 

[0ni]

Looks good

 

[wingman]

Yes, im almost Master of raw Womens

 

[Sticky]

At states, Ricky will be going for the elite 125kg total, and Matt (Chum on here) and I will be going for the elite 90kg total.

To me, hitting Elite means more than WR's.

My plan is to total elite in 90's, then move up and train for it in the 100's.

taking into account the use of wraps in GPC raw, the grading scale is not that dis-similar to the PA raw scale. PA has an E1 and E2 whereas the GPC is "Master" and "Elite".

Will the GPC scale be an absolute scale, irespective of age division, as with PA?

 

[Danimal]

It is based on weight class irrespective of age.

 

[0ni]

you old kunts have had twice as long to total elite

 

[vonfram88]

you old kunts have had twice as long to total elite

and often half of the time available to train.

 

[Sticky]

Yep, it's absolute.

There will be no master/teen/junior scale.

 

[Inducer]

certainly gives me something to aim for!

Looks like I'd be on the verge of class 4 if I were with GPC, and were to get my goal lifts in my upcoming meet.

I smoked elite at 90kg with 760 @ 89.6

Almost totaled elite for the 100kg class at 89.

Yeah that was impressive man.
What are your goals for nats? Worlds?

 

[Sticky]

To be honest, Nats goal is mid 700's to get me back to where I left off, then closer to 800 for worlds at under 90.

Something like 285/175/330 would be good.

Just need to keep my pecs in one piece.

 

[Mackie]

Very impressive [MENTION=4221]Sticky[/MENTION];

Yeah I should make class 2 at 67.5 at nationals without to much trouble...

 

[spartacus]

I am hoping to get class 3 as 90kg lifter; I could make it easier if I use wraps.

 

[Timeah]

Ill be in wraps for class 2. Class 1 next year.
