APF meet in Tulsa?

Nov 23rd (Sat) at Physical Edge gym on 71st Street just East of Sheridan on the North Side of 71st.

I will pick up a flyer soon and post the full info. Meet director is Jim Gorrell, who is a very good guy and the meet should be very fair, well run and lifter friendly.

I will be competing there, bench only at 220, attempting a new state bench record on my opener. I think Screwball, bigokie and maybe VDOP are going to compete there, would love to have as many Elite people there as possible.

Well you can count on three from the Springfield crew being there. It is a FULL Plifting meet, right?

We'll all be lifting in all 3 lifts. Dave is gonna be close to elite status if all goes well.

I wish I could find rules for APF, and rankings for elite, master, etc.

Could someone help me out here?

Bench...post it up when you get it. We could make a few modifications to the band cycles and do that one instead of Daytona. It would be alot more convenient.
 
Well boys, it looks like you're on! Hannibal and I have decided to do THIS meet instead of Daytona. It's only a week earlier, same federation, but 3.5 hours away...NOT 26. Plus it's a one day comp, not two. It's just better all around for us; cost, location, convenience...plus we really respect and appreciate the Springfield and Okie crews. I would benefit from being surrounded by their kind of support and encouragement.
 
Damn , i was looking forward to meeting ya'll at the Daytona meet. I can totally understand though, its a long way from home. I wish everyone the best at this Tulsa meet. Good luck.
 
Grimmer, I KNOW we will be there soon for other things. I'm wanting to train with Bob soon, if he'll have us. We will definitely get together soon either way.
 
I've decided that I'm in for Tulsa too.

I've hedged on committing to a meet because I really would like a 1000lb total, but I'm going to do it regardless.
 
Spatts,
You guys are welcome anytime. We just finished moving to our new location today. The place looks great. The guys really busted their asses to get it together.
 
Anybody remotely pissed that you can't find anything about the APF concerning rules, state records, etc.? Odd that this and the WPC, WPO are the biggest and best feds in the world and yet they don't have a $50 website with rules posted and up to date info on upcoming meets.

Maybe I should call Ernie or Keiren and tell them I'd do it for free just so guys can get the info they need.

You're the man, Screwball!

Now if I can just find the OK records, and what poundages it takes to be a class 1, masters, and elite...

AnimalMass

PS - Screwball and any others...Dave's brother (the one who is 18 and pulls 700+ will be coming down from KC in the next few Staurdays. Would love to have you and any of the other guys out to my house.
 
There may be some confusion on records. A person is only eligible to set state records for the state in which they reside. The KC Crew & Springfield Crew need to consult the MO state records. The Okie Crew (except Screwball) is eligible to set OK state records. The location of the meet is not the determining factor for state records the state of residence for each competitor is the determining factor.
 
OK, to help clarify some things...

I called the venue of the meet and talked with several of the powerlifters there, which assured me that 4-ply was fine for the squat suits, and that open back denims are fine too.

As far as the Missouri Chairman, it took some hunting down, but I found him. I talked to his wife, very nice, and he will call me back tonight about the records. (So please no one call them in the mean time.)

His name is William Wessels and the number is 314-770-9279.

To make sure of the APF rules, I bought a book ($5), from Frantz, and should have it in a few days to make sure we are all good to go.

Willie and his wife are good people. I have no doubt they'll get the info to you in a timely fashion.
 
Everyone do me a favor who is coming to the meet. I am trying to get to be a bigshot with the Oklahoma APF so everyone that is coming to the meet, make sure you put on your application that you are coming to the meet cause I told you about it.

This would aid me greatly if you don't mind helping a brother out.

OK Guys,

Talked to Willie Wessells just now on the phone. Super nice guy.

I asked him about Missouri State Records and elite totals varying.

He was going to call Ernie Frantz and figure it all out. He said not one APF meet has occured in MO since 1992, but he's doing one in St. Louis on Feb 22 that will be APF sanctioned.

He said that we should be able to set MO records for MO in an Oklahoma meet. Except he also said that he hold some Illinois records even though he lived in MO his whole life. So we may be able to set OK records since there isn't an active APF in MO. HE said that if nothing else, we would establish MO records at the FEB meet.

Anyway, he was also going to check on numbers for elite staus, etc. - although they should be in the rule book, which I should have in about 2 days.

Feb 22nd...I know where I'll be
 
Feb 22? Road trip?

I was planning on Canada about that time, but may have to change plans if a St. Louis trip could be arranged. So many meets, so little time. . .

B.
 
Well, I got the APF handbook in, and nothing jumped out at me as being odd. As far as plys go, as many plys on squat suit and briefs as you want.

SO I guess theoretically you could wear a 5 ply canvas :D

It didn't have the numbers for elite status, masters, class 1, etc.

AnimalMass
 
Oh yeah, one thing did jump out to me...

In the book, it says that a 24hour weigh in is mandatory! And from the looks of it, we can't weigh in until 7pm the night before. I wonder if some of us on the border can come in an weigh earlier on Friday, so that we can have longer to rehydrate?

AnimalMass
 
Did anyone ever hear back fro Willie re: APF records in MO?

Also, still wondering about the weigh in time.
 
Spatts, all MO records will be established at the Feb meet.

As for the weigh in, I will call in a couple hours, as it is too early right now.

Will post what I know as soon as I hear something. They were supposed to send us our applications, but they haven't come, so I have to get those as well.

AnimalMass
 
Jim just got back to me, and the weigh in time is set. He said he's be there aorund 5pm or so, but we'll have to weigh in the night before.

If anyone needs some tips on making weight, you are welcome to email me. I have played with this many times, and feel like I am really good at the rehydration part.

We'll all go out that night and have a big dinner and lots of liquid to hydrate up.
