Please email your powerlifting friends and let them know about this new interview with Paul Bossi on Iron Man Magazine's website.
www.ironmanmagazine.com/blogs/hardcorepowerlifting/
With over twenty years of experience in the game against gravity, Paul Bossi knows a thing or three about real benchpressing. At 220lbs and in his mid 30s, Bossi has pushed a prestigious 515 pounds of bar weight. Not being one to buy in to the “40 year old midlife crisis theory” Bossi has carried on with record cracking results; gaining muscular bodyweight and consistently pressing 500 to 530 during his initial decade as a masters lifter.
As a strength sports journalist, I spend a lot of time on the bodybuilding message boards. I read the criticisms, questions and doubts that are expressed about the various powerlifting leagues. The majority of these comments and remarks are made from behind the security of a screen name and a non-identifying avatar. And the people who rush to defend or promote said organization often aren’t who they publically claim to be either. Bottom line, most people are uncomfortable with standing behind their true thoughts and values for fear of public retribution and backlash.
So, knowing that every serious sporting pursuit has a serious press corps following it, I set up a discussion time with President Bossi in order to give a top exec in one of the larger powerlifting circles the chance to answer the critics and the curious. If you’re tired of all the political double talk and rhetoric in the news these days, here’s your chance to get some straight answers from a person who wants to be a real leader.
Find out how a federation comes up with its membership numbers claims. See the difference between drug testing and actively drug TESTING. Here from one of the early crusaders for bringing back classic (raw) powerlifting. And get the satisfaction of learning why Power Curling’s as cool as your “inner teenage self” wants it to be.
