Nine lifters took part in The Repetition Rampage Record Day completing 16 lifts. Gender adjustments were not included since male and female lifters were not in competition with each other. Raw Lynch points and age adjusted points are included, although it may be easiest to use the raw points for both age and all-age records. The Trap Bar Deadlift was a popular choice! Feedback was positive and it’s clear that we have some work to do in clarifying the rules for repetition lifts. The rules we agreed on at High Country Vigour were as follows:

-No time limit
-No more than a two second pause
-Lifter must maintain a lifting grip and lifting posture
-A call of “no lift” ends the set
-The official will substitute a rep count for the “down” command

Some lifters chose to keep time either out of uncertainty of the rules or just out of interest. Perhaps one day we will establish speed records, but for now our esteemed Record Keeper has enough on his plate. Thank you to everyone who participated and shared their thoughts. This has the potential to grow into an exciting new aspect of All-Round Weightlifting.
