It's because Justin can't make it so they're going to wait for him until next year.

i would have thought they'd be getting in as many finals as possible to give other competitors chances to get medals before justin comes to clean up!! lol

I have heard same thing that theyve been cancelled, something to do with no prize money for the full powerlifters just the bench only guys, could be wrong.

thank's Rob mate, was going to have a go of Justin's deadlift bar but we ended up deadliftng with a car axle :)
Your technique is good Rob mate, you have a fucking huge structure. It's no wonder your bench is big

from what i hear from andy, its all still up in the air and nobody can get an answer wether its still on or not,they are still trying to work out the prize money and who gets what. great!!! neil deighton and i have paid for our flights aswell.
what a complete balls'up,i feel for the people who have paid flights etc and more for the likes of andy who have been busting there balls preparing for the meet.would louies meet not be another option for the big name to get on the same stage and fuck the wpo??

louies meet is this weekend coming. probably too soon, but that would be cool. a meet run by lifters and most importantly FOR the lifters..
