SpecialSundae Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 So it's registering NF as a club rather than a team? Quote Link to comment
spezzy Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 So it's registering NF as a club rather than a team? In USAPL the words are used interchangeably http://www.usapowerlifting.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/USAPL-Rulebook-2015.pdf We are going to register a club/team, and then also have a big team meetup and all compete together at Nationals.

mgage Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 I'll hit you guys up if I ever get a chance to compete in a USAPL event. There is currently no USAPL in my state, so I have to hope one comes reasonably close to me. I've got the total - just need the meet to make it all official. 1 Quote The iron never lies.

Pencil me in at 205. by july your wife should be ready to qualify as well, yes? 1 Quote Current Challenge - Instagram “There's only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you've got to be kind.” Link to comment

goodbye_farewell Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 This is awesome. I'm certainly interested. I hope to hit the 231 lb qualifying total within a year or so. I'll keep an eye out for the team creation and then consider registering... 1 Quote Link to comment

RisenPhoenix Posted March 26, 2015 Report Share Posted March 26, 2015 Herm. This is getting the gears turning in my head. Not sure yet, but maybe.

Squidwina Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 I'm in. Could somebody please explain how one qualifies in Masters? I may well qualify in "open" by then anyway. We'll have to see.

Believe me, the re will be some really serious numbers put up by the folks in their 40's. By and large, they have bulked up too much (that age thing) to be competitive with the youngins on the wilkes... Quote Warriors don't count reps and sets. They count tons.

Squidwina Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Yay for being old!! I don't care about doing well at this point. I just wanna play. The NJ State Open is on Aug 1 in New Brunswick.

Harbard Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 I'm not ready to even qualify yet, but this sounds like an awesome idea for a long term goal.

Rooks Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 So with a bigger push to get people out doing competitions, would it be a good idea to start a "Doing a Comp, Got Questions Thread"? Saw Drazen's post and I know Hamp21's thread was quite popular. Just seems like a stickied generic thread might be in order. I've already thought of a couple questions I was going to attempt to look up. 2 Quote Link to comment

spezzy Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 ALSO JUST TO BE CLEAR you can be on the team even if you do not plan on competing at nationals. The team will be a year round thing. That means anytime there's a USAPL meet, you put Nerd Fitness down as your team, even if you're alone, though if you post you're competing I bet people will come cheer you on! 2 Quote Current Challenge - Instagram “There's only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you've got to be kind.” Link to comment
