Sky Blue 12

New Rule - verbally describe faces or expressions

P L Situation: 
Your gym owner offers to buy some powerlifting equipment for the gym and gives you 4 choices for your preference. 

• A) 2 Eleiko Powerlifting Bars
• B) 6 Rogue Ohio Bars
• C) 1 Set of Eleiko Calibrated Kilo Plates
• D) 1 ER Rack

NewLifterTip: 
How to win in powerlifting: The highest total in the weight class wins. If two lifters have the same total, the lighter lifter wins. If two lifters have the same total and the same bodyweight, the lifter that achieved the total first wins. If two lifters achieve the same total and that total is an American Record, the lighter lifter wins the meet but the lifter that achieved the total first gets the record.

Registration opened on 5/1 - sold out in 2 hours and 13 min. (60 lifters)
Second Day was added
Rebate for Equipped Lifters

Peach 2/Brown 14
Orange gets a bye week (highest vote getter in round 1)
Lowest vote winner from round 2 will face Orange in round 3

Round 3
Brown vs Green
Orange vs Sky Blue

PL Situation: 
You are training with two other lifters. One of them insists that all of the plates face in. The other lifter insists that all of the plates face out. Every set, they each unload the entire bar and re-load it “their way” before they do a set. Do you say anything or just go with it?

NewLifterTip: 
You can change your third attempt deadlift twice, until the bar is called loaded for you. You can increase or decrease it as long as it follows the general rules of powerlifting.
