A Note From Sioux-z:
Sioux-z Hartwig-Gary is currently in Canada competing in her 10th IPF World Championships. She sends the following;
Hello from Canada, my 10th IPF World Championships:
I have great news.? I went 8 for 9 and ended up with 2 new personal records and 2 Master World records!
I got all 3 squats ending with a Master World Record 374 pounds!? (new personal record)
I got 2 benches ending with 220 pounds (only 6 pounds under my best)
I got all 3 deadlifts ending with 363 pounds (only 6 pounds under my best)
And achieved a 959 pounds total a new Master World Record!!! (new personal record)
I placed 5th overall and am very pleased with my performance.
Thank you for all of your love and support.

Captain Kirk For the HOF!
The news that USA's Mike Bridge was inducted into the IPF's Hall of Fame is great news that has come out of the '08 meeting of the IPF Congress. But, it has me wondering; what about the Michael Jordan of powerlifting, Kirk Karwoski?
In reviewing the notables currently in the HOF and not including the class of '08, 19 officials, 7 women (1 has been disqualified) and 12 men have received that honor and recognition.
The following guidelines for selection are posted at the IPF website;
There shall be an honorary body titled the "IPF Hall of Fame". Its purpose shall be to honour members who have made an outstanding contribution either by way of lifting achievement or service in general to the sport of powerlifting internationally. A maximum of two lifters and one official may be elected to the Hall of Fame each year but with the added proviso that not more than two men and one woman may be elected in any one year. A certificate of achievement will be awarded. No one who has been involved in drug offences or has been suspended by drug abuse shall be proposed to Hall of Fame. Any lifter or official previously awarded Hall of Fame will loose this distinction if suspended by IPF due to doping abuse.
The Executive decides prior to the IPF Congress, after having received bids from the member nations, whom will be awarded Hall of Fame. The appointed person(s) will be honoured at the Congress.
When I think about how this sport was built on the exploits and accomplishments of lifters, it causes me to wonder why there is such a disproportionate number of officials in the HOF to that of lifters. And why there isn't a greater effort to make sure that at least a lifter is inducted into the HOF each year.

Introducing- EO Sports Gear:
The ONLY Patented Powerlifting Board vest on the market today!
Whether you train alone or with a group, this vest can be easily adjusted to fit any body type. With 3 different sizes available and several designs and colors, let the EO Board Vest become a staple product of your bench training.
The safest way to do RAW and Shirted Extreme Board Bench Pressing.
Can be utilized for the beginner to the advanced athlete.
The new bench shirts of today require more extreme strength and lock out power. The EO Board Vest will increase those areas of your bench press for NEW Personal, State, and National Records!
With a collapsible pouch, the EO Board Vest can hold from 1 to 6 boards easily!
Multiple ways of ordering; Vest only, vest w/ boards!
Our boards are made from high grade #2 Pine. They are two by six's cut to fourteen inches in length. Every edge is hand routed. The entire board is sanded and two coats of Polyurethane are applied. The finishing touch is a fine steel wool sanding that has our boards completely splinter free and looking like glass. This highly smoothed finish prevents the Board Vest from suffering from any damage due to the boards.
