SBBF. It's the "Slingshot Benchpress-Bloblift Federation". I got a new toy in the mail, a Mark Bell "Slingshot". Basically its a poor man's benchshirt. Since I found it on my porch when I got home last night after I had benched, I offered it to some of the gym members to try (guinea pigs). Paul K. got an easy 20 pound pr (with probably another 25-35 pounds left) and Larry M. did an easy single with what he said was right around his max weight (without all the grinding and crunching in his shoulder that he usually associates with pressing). So, informally we decided to form the Slingshot Powerlifting Federation. We have three members, all world record holders and world champions in our respective weight classes. We will probably have a national qualifier soon for the National Championships and we will pick the top three of each weight class to go to the world championships in the fall. We may present it as a push-pull format too. The pull part will be lifting the heads of broken dumbbells off the floor single-handedly (the "blob lift" Thanks Larry!) (I think they could be cool trophies too.) Or a guy could just enter the bench part of the meet or the Blob part or both! Bitchin' huh?!?!
Wait'll ya see our t-shirts,
Ed T.
