Records should mean something. You work extremely hard to achieve a record to a professional standard, yet people can backdoor their way into small feds and break records people worked hard to achieve by cheating or getting favored by the refs so that fed can claim they have the strongest lifter

It’s the integrity of the sport. If anyone came just make up weight classes then why have them anyway. In our weight class the sport is different it’s about maximizing strength while keeping body weight low and if that’s not the sport then we just get outclassed by bigger guys

If we can’t ensure world records are taken to standard and fairly across all individuals then we have no integrity as a sport. Sportsmanship is a core value of competition and to allow this sort of behavior to go unchecked will only hurt the validity of any and all other accomplishments strength athletes achieve in powerlifting

Help us to strengthen citizen participation. We want to support your petition to get the attention it deserves while remaining an independent platform.
