Something to think about for Christmas
Ok being a Christian Powerlifter I think this is a great thing to think about as we go into this next few weeks.

PurePowerlifting September 2008 Newsletter
Well it's been a while since we have consistently taped new podcasts. A lot has been going on for me and Jason Beck, so Podcasts have kind of fallen off at the waste side, as my priorities are a bit different. I plan to restart the Podcast at a more random basis. Our last Podcast was a live interview of Wade Hooper directly from the USAPL Men's Nationals. We might do this down the road if the technology allows us to talk with lifters from the lifting events. I love doing the PurePowerlifting Podcasts, so they will be back!

We had a busy 2008 and will continue to promote high quality events in Pennsylvania going forward! If you haven't been to one of our events, come check it out. When and where possible we use the highest quality equipment and technology we can. Many of our events have closed circuit video of the platform that is viewed by all the lfiters in the warm-up area. We also use barload projections and scoring, that is also shown to the lifters in the warm-up area. We have many plans to improve our technology, even beyond our current standard.
Live and Learn
We will continue to work on improving our events, as we feel it's important to enhance what we can do, along with learn from mistakes we have made. Last year, the first year of RAW division being offered at PA States, we did awards by formula accross weight classes. Well we planned and purchased our awards, based on the count. Based on a formula based trophies, a lot of lifters were very dissappointed. The competition was great, but RAW competitors had over 15 lifters going for 3 medals. This was really great to see, but very hard, since most lifters did not medal. So with that lesson learned the 2009 Pennsylvania State Championships will include RAW divisions for all weight classes and we will award to top 3 lifters in each class.
