FJM Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Competition was success in many ways. Lot of audience(for grip comp), many new lifters and high level performances. I put results below. Some pictures and videos are coming later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikael Siversson Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Great to see very strict judging in the axle deadlift. You can really tell when a judge has some experience with PL judging. This is an area where there is room for huge improvements regarding US based competitions, and that's an understatement. A 'down' signal should not, as is commonly the case, be little more than a confirmation that the bar is indeed going down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJM Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Thanks. Strict and fair judging is the way to go. Hopefully we get good international turnout for world championships in november. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
