Good call, man! I think the wider range of weight classes will attract more lifters.

We have only really been an organization for 6 weeks.  We are run by lifters for lifters.  

I asked last week for feedback because we truly care what you think.  We want to make it a good experience.

Thanks for your feedback last week.

Just putting this out there, I may have to pull out of the event due to lower back & shoulder injuries lately... See what happens in a few weeks...

You wish!!! Ah been hurting last couple of weeks. Haven't trained grip, didn't lift last week. I did 3 MMA classes, probably why my lower back is bugging me besides work. Shoulder is from something else. Plus, I got really tired of grip training anyhow... I did tell a few people, i think I'll be done for awhile.

You hurting??? Ya don't do nothing, only curls & hammer levering...

I don’t do nothing but hammers and curls? I only do those after my workout of axles and rolling handles and pinch and grippers. You don’t visit my Channel much anymore do ya  STUDD?😛 My QL has not been the same since that axle clean a few months ago.
