Awesome, Erniejr! What a deadlift! And you are still a teen??!!! Amazing!

I sure hope you can find some RAW meets up in your neck of the woods. I think the quality of teen lifters in our fed rivals, if not tops, pretty much all other feds in the US. You'd most certainly be a record holder!

Keep up the good work. And by the way, welcome!

God Bless.

Where are you? In the city or the burbs? I would love to run teen meets here, but getting the teens to compete is the issue. Those who do depend on mechanical (and maybe chemical) gear to perform and can't handle the ego crushing reality of RAW lifting. I know, the same goes for most adult lifters in this region. If you can help bring in the teen membership or just spearhead the drive to bring teens out to the meets, that would be a great start and truly appreciated.

I would like to hold the 2008 High School Nationals here, and that means we need a LOT of support and involvement from teens, coaches and parents who truly and honestly support and advocate healthy and positive athleticism and sportsmanship. In this sport, that means only one thing: 100% Raw Powerlifting Federation.

Come out to the World Gym Ironman Open on March 18 in Palatine and bring some friends to compete as well. Of course bring family and friends to cheer you on and make it an even bigger event for you!

Im in SugarGrove IL im about 5miles away from Aurora IL and 50miles from chicago IL, I just turned 18, me and my brother and dad all lift raw, my dad is going to do a 2000 pound total at the next state meet in March 7th 2006 RAW, you can view him here his name is Ernie Lilliebridge SR www.chicagopowerlifting.com/ILStateMeet-6.html we have been looking for raw meets for the longest time we all hold lots of apf and aapf records, and that going against people wiht Canvis suits and what not, the numbers im shooting for at the state meet is 450Squat and 320 Bench and 600 Deadlift at 198lbs. i would love to go to the meet thats being held in Palatine on March 18th, dont know if i would be able to compete being that my state meet is march 7th.
