From Jeff Hackett: I was looking up the roster for Team USA Weightlifting and couldn’t find any thing, then I came across this thread and we are only sending one man and two women. What in the world is going on with that? However some one mentioned that too many people were doing Powerlifting, which got me to thinking this could be our time to push to get PL IOC recognition. What are you thoughts?
as long as there are morons wearing knee wraps, squatting high and bench shirts then this sport will continue to go backwards
Hasn’t the IPF been working on this for a very long time?
I thought the reduction of weight classes plus addition of classic division were a couple steps in that direction.
Also a rumor they are removing equipped div I thought?? Could be a bad rumor though.
