AKC/WKC recently has introduced some new rules which ban:
-extra swing in the Snatch,
-rest in hang in Snatch and Long Cycle
-no resting on the belt

But to promote the sport and encourage participation, i think we just stick to acceptable norms:
-extra swing is ok but not counted
-rest in hang is allowed in Snatch and Long Cycle
-belt or no belt up to you
-rest on the shoulder in Jerk is ok but no Jerk from the shoulder

haha what're the rules? weight classes? and weight of bells we're to use?

I am interested, if I am up to the standard when you organise it.

Bo pian lah. If i compete against Jen i die liao. I am underweight by >40kg.

Anyway this is just for fun and promotion of the sport. Doesn't matter if there is only one competitor in your weight class. Break your own records, have fun, get together. That's it.

wah liddat means i need to compete against jen becomes i die liao.....

That's funny. Since it is "freestyle" he could have backstroke and win the event.

If you are the only competitor, you can win the event by doing ONE repetition.

chiu also need to compete against jon boey

time for chiu to lose weight!

no moi is like to be bui bui

Twxian wrote:no moi is like to be bui bui

den chiu destined to fight jon boey and jen!

Add in the SSST

Thats a fun one.

My advice is to stick to single kb lifts to start with

For novice lifter you will find large variation in tehcnique between left and right hands

Having a bell in each hand will exagerate this

Also you only need one bell to practice with.

Something to think about

Compete as in proper competition??

Wait for my weight to drop below 70kg, then I interested.
