Most exciting powerlifting news ever!

[Scotsman]

Andy Bolton has thrown down the gauntlet and challenged the world's biggest deadlifters to take his record. So far fourteen giants have been invited.

Andy Bolton DL Challenge Invite List | Powerlifting Watch

This is in the truest realm of powerlifting competition. No weight classes, no wilks or other formulas, no excuses. Biggest pull wins.

Barring the horribly unforseen I'm going to this in 2011!!!

To quote robot chicken "This is the most awesome thing in the history of awesome!"

Cheers,

Well I'd have to add ~240 lbs to my dead just to get an invite. I'm planning on going as a spectator not a competitor. I'll be there if I have to hijack a bus/train/plane/llama, whatever it takes!
