Does anyOne know were reliable records for weightclasses and other divisions? All I was looking at was go heavy.net but I have been told that those are not acurate. I’m looking for usapl.
www.powerliftingwatch.com for geographical records across all federations
http://www.usapowerlifting.com/records/index.shtml for USAPL records.
http://www.usapowerlifting.com/records/index.shtml
All you had to do was google “USAPL records”
Well as stated as before I said that I didn’t know how reliable thIse records are because they filter to the go heavy.net site, for example the website listed abOve says that the raw teen 181 dead lift record is 457 but one the mi usapl website it says that our state record is 480
maybe its kgs
With USAPL, you can only set national records at national meets. So it’s possible to have state records that supercede national records.
You can set “American” USAPL records at local/state meets if you have three national/international level referees on the platform. If it’s anticipated that such a record may be broken, the meet organizer may bring in high-level referees to sit the platform just for those lifters.
What’s the difference between American and National records? That always seemed like two words describing the same thing.

“high-level referees”?? how are they different from normal refs??

The only difference is that American records can be set at any meet. The title is very deceiving. It makes little sense to me as well.

There are different requirements for state refs, national refs, and cat 1/cat 2 international refs. I know, I know.

does it have anything to do with making money?? like, you have to go to THOSE meets to break THOSE records and i’m sure the entry fees are much higher.

Ahh, your cynical side is showing, my friend.
I didn’t know the answer to this question. So I did a little sleuthing. The entry fee for men’s nationals this year (which requires a qualifying total) is $70. The USAPL chair in my state who organizes most of the local meets charges $65. So only a $5 difference.
I believe that state/local USAPL meet fees are decided by the meet organizer. So there’s some discrepancy from state to state.

me cynical??? i’m a “the glass is half empty” sort of guy…no wait…
Go Heavy hasn’t been kept up for quite a while now. So I don’t think there is any filtering going on.
Too bad, it was a good site.
BB: Looks like you need to get in the gym. You must have moved up several weight classes by now! Does it have something to do with being engaged to the lovely O?
I think it’s hard for feds, especially large ones with a presence in more than one country, to keep the records up to date. Also, the IPF-affiliated feds in some countries require the lifter to pay to register the record. And some people can’t/don’t want to do that.
Ksnap I have been on a bit of a bulk. I went up to 168lbs due to ice cream, and of course the happy weight due to my lovely fiance.
The thing with records is this, if it is an official record and is listed as such then that is the record to beat. It doesn’t matter if someone beats it and doesn’t claim it. If you beat it and you claim it, then it is yours. If a lifter doesn’t claim it or do it in the proper venue, and you know it’s higher than the record, then go after the number and claim the record officially. Just have fun and worry more about your numbers.
