well send me a pm. I will give you a way to contact them.
Just wanted to stop in and say I agree with you guys regarding the organization. I am well connected with many elite powerlifters and none of them would touch this federation. They are all UPA, APF, IPA or USAPL lifters. You want to do a real meet? Then these are really the best ones out there. I would be more than happy to help you find a good meet and hook you up with the right people. Just let me know. I have competed in USPF, IPA APF & UPA, just not USAPL and they are all great organizations, though there are conflicts in all organizations. I wish there could something in powerlifting like there is in bodybuilding where you have one organization running everything for tested lifters and you have one running everything for non-tested lifters. Powerlifting would go much further with some organization... I could go on & on about this but I will shut up for now.
PM me I will be more than happy to help you out.

not to hijack, but not many meets in SW compared to back east. I need something simple, raw to get my feet wet.
I take no offense to what you say regarding the sw at all. Actually it has been very difficult to build it up out here. We do come from the East and we are part of the Metal Militia (hence metalmilitiababe...) Bill Crawford, Bill Carpenter, Mike Miller, the Grobeys, Sebastian Burns, McVicker, etc... are all of our friends and who we train with (if you know powerlifting then you know who these people are). Actually Bill Crawford is one of my very best friends. So, when you talk about meets on the East coast I understand - that is what we are working on bringing to the sw. So, as I stated before, if you want some help and advise regarding meets then let me know as I CAN hook you up.
One more thing and I am not going to get into a raw vs shirts thing but why do you need a meet that is raw, you can lift in a meet raw even when others are lifting with shirts. Actually that is what we make many of our team members do and we also have a number of them who will probably never lift in a shirt yet do meets that others are lifting in shirts. My friend, powerlifting is about hitting the numbers you are trying to hit weather raw or not. Even if you are going for records raw you can still compete in meets that have shirted lifters. Right now we have lifters that are going to compete in my husbands AFP Halloween Bench Bash that will most likely be getting American Raw records in their divisions (the majority of lifters in this meet will be shirted & one of them is going for an American Record shirted) . You can do this both in the UPA and APF. The only reason I see someone having an issue with doing a meet raw in a meet that has shirted lifters is that they may not walk out with a trophy, but like I said this is not about trophy hunting it should be about your numbers.
Me personally, I am ranked top 30 in the world in the 148's and 165's. I do not care who all is there or about getting a trophy, if I did then I would not compete at the meets I do where Janet Farone (another good friend of mine) is there who holds world records in the 114, 123 & 132 class - she always get the best lifter award and always walks away with the trophies. One more time it is about hitting the numbers I am going in there for and working my way up the world record latter.
Again, if you or anyone else who stops by this thread wants some meet info I will be more than happy to help out. My husband is the NM APF State Chair, I am the UPA State Chair for Colorado & NM, but have MANY connections beyond that all over the US and most of them actually are on the East coast.

I wasn't meaning to be offensive, but when doing a search on PLwatch it is obvious how much bigger the sport is in the east.
I was thinking raw cause I've never lifted equipped and wanted a level playing field. I hear you about hitting numbers, but I want to win too. It will give me training motivation.
I am interested in info. You have pm.

NO offense taken at all. We totally agree with you. I have not seen a meet out here yet other than ours that comes anywhere close to what we see on the east coast. We do not have allot of lifters yet and at this point it is a bench only meet and I have not been to all the meets in the SW but the meet we put on is fun, you get lots of stuff for free as a lifter and have a great time.
Let me give you a bit more info to help you understand something - I understand wanting to win. In the APF & UPA there ARE raw divisions, you also have different age catagories other than just the open along with weight catagories. So, if you compete as a raw lifter you are not competing against shirted lifters as you are in different divisions.
If you would really like some help and want to get your feet wet then you should come on up to our meet. It is Sat. Oct. 3rd and for a first time meet lifter you will learn lots as we will help you out and have lots of fun. I will PM you with more info.
