This thread is to sign-up for the 23-25 January 2009 Push-Pull Meet only. This is a two-lift meet consisting of the bench press and the deadlift. Questions and comments concerning this meet should be posted in the discussion thread (http://virtualmeet.net/community/forum/meet-talk/274/0/).

The deadline for lifters to sign up is Monday January 12th at 10pm GMT; after this date, only judge sign-ups will be accepted.

To register for the meet, just post a short reply to this message. This implies that you:
     
    * HAVE READ AND ACCEPTED THE RULES (http://virtualmeet.net/meets/rules/)
    * AFFIRM YOUR DRUG-FREE STATUS (again, see the rules (http://virtualmeet.net/meets/rules/))
    * REALLY AIM AT DOING THE MEET, not just thinking about it. Of course, injuries and life can happen, so you are naturally free to cancel your entry if needed.

Also include which day you want to lift on. This day can be changed up until the sign-up deadline.

** 23rd is on a Friday
** 24th a Saturday
** 25th a Sunday

Further instructions on how to submit the video footage etc. will be sent out via e-mail to all participants after the sign-up deadline has passed.

Those who wish to judge should also sign-up in this thread.

To make sure that you don't forget anything essential, we highly recommend using the meet checklist (http://virtualmeet.net/meets/rules/) as a supplement to the rules.

Good luck!   :)

Ryan Rigdon (http://virtualmeet.net/rigdon) signed up as a judge via e-mail. Anyone else who feels like judging can sign up here or e-mail me. As usual, we are looking for three judges, so two more needed. :)

A battle it will be!  Since May 2007, Tyler's deadlift has gone from 300 to 515 at a Prison meet 3 weeks ago!  Jeff's pulling around 475, and my best is low-500s.  Let's see some big totals!

Meet sign-up has been closed. Lifters will receive further information later today. Another good meet ahead. :)

Here's the final line up. We have a total of 19 lifters representing Canada, Switzerland, Croatia, the United States and Bulgaria in this first push-pull meet. I for my part am stepping in as the third judge to fill the last slot. Contrary to what I wrote earlier today, the lifter information needs to wait until later this week since I did not take into account some server work that I need to complete before I can create the customary upload accounts (an announcement will be posted when this is completed).

Let's do it!
