Full PL meet inside the 'Pen. It sounds like we’ll be allowed to take 2 more ‘outside’ lifters in with us, but we’ll need registration and SIN very soon to do so. Expect around 50 lifters. Everyone else will be an inmate - make sure you’re comfortable with that before you say you’re interested. No cameras, nothing made of metal, pack your lunch.
This is a picture of me during my first meet ever - 3 days before Christmas, 2004 - in the Pen. Everyone else in the picture is a prisoner. This was the only picture - an inmate was being skill-trained as a photographer, and another held onto this picture for 6 months before I went to compete there again.
Another picture went to PLUSA (just me sitting on a bench.) Can’t remember what the weights were, but I finished with a total under 1100 - very humbling, but most of the time, your first PL meet will be!
I had my first white-lighted 500+ DL in their outdoor Pit.
I’m grateful to these guys, and anyone interested in participating should be prepared to be humble, gracious, and law-abiding while inside. Everyone inside is an innocent man, after all.
