Just a quick FYI: Mike and I will be hosting a guest forum on the “Building a Better Body” section of the site beginning tomorrow evening. We didn’t want the strength sports crew to miss out, especially since Mike and I are strength athletes ourselves and we love to talk shop! Hope to see you there.
Is Robertson going to AAPF Nationals? Or do I have to save that for the guest forum?

Nope; he’s out in Indiana. He’ll be with me at AWPC Worlds if I qualify, though.
What’s the qualifying total for 165 as well as for 181? 1400-1450 respectively?
AWPC Worlds in Chicago?
When are the Juniors lifting Eric, late Friday or Saturday?
That American Record is yours Eric.

I believe that AAPF qualifying totals are generally 50 pounds less than APF requirements. In the case of the 165s, that’s 1350 for AAPF. However, I spoke with Russ, and this is an open meet; there are no qualifying totals. The top three are invited to Worlds, which are in Chicago.
Friday at 9AM; weigh-in is on Thursday.
I think that was a one-shot deal. I don’t believe that one can set an APF record in an AAPF meet. I’ll be too old once the next APF meet rolls around. I’m more concerned with my total this time around; that last pull was more for shits and giggles, as I had nothing to lose in my “test meet.”
Are you still planning to compete in April? If so, drop me an email and we’ll meet up.
