The entry deadline is two weeks away so I'm sure there will be more entries. If you are a lifter who is not competing this time around please come out to volunteer as this makes for a smoother running meet. Travis has recruited some local volunteers all help will be appreciated.

Looking forward to volunteering! I'll e-mail Travis and see when I need to be there and such. Is there any word on another meet in the fall yet? I've got the urge to compete again.

I've split it up into three flights as we have 32 competitors. Two individuals are doing the Benchpress Single lift event so Flights B & C will be one person smaller for squats and deads. See everyone next Saturday!

Good luck to everyone.

Some directions for those of you traveling from Winnipeg to save you some time;
When coming West from Winnipeg towards Portage, take the by-pass around Portage following the signs for Brandon. Don't go into Portage. You will come to a turn off for Portage/Southport on your right. Turn South (left) towards Southport, you will cross a bridge over the Assiniboine River. Keep going South and you will arrive in Southport, which is an old Canadian Forces Base. You will come to a stop sign and the Rec Complex should be on your right. Doors should be open at 8am. See you all there!

I just finished counting up the records broken yesterday and here is a brief summary:
39 Unequipped records were broken
15 Equipped Records were broken with CJ Stewart replacing the Provincial Standard from 2005 and in the Men's Junior 66 Class Spencer Briercliffe replaces Dwayne Feakes 1987 Provincial Standard Benchpress!!
There were 9 Benchpress Records broken.

Overall it was a great contest! Thank you to all of the volunteers for their collective hard work, Travis and Vince for hosting and the lifters for providing the lifting entertainment. More to follow.
