northwestiowapowerliftingchampionship.blogspot.com/nationalibpa.blogspot.com/on January 22 i was nominated as the new IBPA Iowa State Representative.i am directing this meet.this will be the very first IBPA event held in Iowa,which means that all records for the bench press and deadlift are up for grabs.everyone who enters has a chance at being an IBPA Iowa State record holder. i know that most of you guys here are strongmen,and i know that the meet is 7 months away yet,but if any of you have any friends who are powerlifters and who might be interested in competing,please pass the word along for me.i really want this meet to be big,especially since it's the first ever IBPA event for Iowa.

How far is this away from la crosse.....do you have to be a resident of the state to set state records? I asume this is a raw comp....no shirts or suits.....straps or wraps? I would be willing to consider doing it if there is not a specfic comp that i am training for at the time.

It's about 3.5 hours from La Crosse. $35 dollars to enter. Doesn't say anything about having to be a resident.

I would be willing to consider doing it if there is not a specfic comp that i am training for at the time. no you do not need to be a resident of Iowa to set state records.there will be a raw division as well as an equipped division.the IBPA currently does not separate the two,but for my meet i am having two separate divisions,which will be a first for the IBPA,and it will also be the first time that the IBPA will have equipped records as well.i have many friends from the Ames/Des Moines area who train and compete equipped,and i want them to come up here to compete,so that is why i am having two divisions. as far as what the IBPA's definition of *raw* is,the IBPA isn't as strict as other feds when it comes to raw competition.if you are competing raw,you will be able to use:knee wraps/sleeves,elbow wraps/sleeves,wrist wraps,belts.the only pieces of equipment that separate the two divisions will be the bench shirt,squat or deadlift suits.gloves,wrist straps,or guerilla grips will not be allowed. |
