No reason, it’s just fun to change it now and again.
The meet is Feb 12-14. It’s an online, deadlift-only meet. I take videos of my lifts and submit them to the judges of the meet. Saves on travel costs and meet/federation fees. Joe Good expressed an interest in doing some online meets as well.
The threads seem to have a limit of 1000 or so posts before being locked.
Anybody remember Lurch from the Addams Family? That’s what my voice sounds like today and I’m a tenor/baritone. Those rumors about second puberty must be true…

you’ll get used to avatar and thread title changing from DCA - too much time on his hands…[/quote]
Going back on the regularly scheduled program on Friday, depending on the rib. Just gonna have to feel it out. I can cough now with only a little pain, so it may be copascetic on Friday. Only 8 more sessions until I try my openers for the meet. Gotta make 'em count.
Been talking to the main brain over at virtualmeet.net, Kristoffer Lindqvist, about expanding the kinds of meets they run. Not surprisingly he’s excited about expanding the types of meets they do there, but has demurred on the basis of resource limitations. It’s essentially a one-man operation (there are more people involved but Kris seems to be doing most if not all of the programming of the site) and there’s not enough of him to go around in order to set up, run and get judges for new kinds of meets.
I think the virtual meet idea has applications for existing PL/OL/Xfit and all-around weightlifting competitions for existing federations. Not only can you compete with people from all over the world, but geography and venue cease to become problems to people who would otherwise like to compete. Currently the price is right - free - but additional meets would require more server power and space to host the files used to run a meet so there would be a nominal fee structure down the road.
I’d like to see meets more often and of more types there. Most of the competitors are average lifters like me, or novices with a sprinkling of truly strong folks. With more traffic to the site I think the meets could become very competitive yet still serve all levels of lifter.
I’m seeing if Kris will accept my offer to lend a hand in coding or setup and he’s asked if I’d be willing to setup/run some meets myself. I’m definitely interested.

Its a big commitment but would be really great if you had the time. Once my numbers are up, its something I’d like to do.
I have a hobby website (not lifting related and no, not porn) with about 7K members on it. Early on it was a big time sink, but now its not too bad.

Hey! Go get yer own thread if you’re going to go golfy. And wash your hands.
Thats a fair amount volume DCA; for someone coming out of the scurge 10lbs lighter! I would have passed out before the midway mark. Good luck with the new focus!
