      Hi Sanjiv, I would be interested in participating in the Rampage committee. I like the idea of helping to create a high-reps structure that would be shorter than 3 hours 9 minutes, but yet manageable for maintaining records.

        Nice podcast interviewing Beth Skwarecki!
        “Beyond the Bend – Episode 43”

          1) I just ran across the Health Oddity podcast out of England. Available at the regular podcast outlets or at
          healthoddity.libsyn.com

          So far I’ve barely scratched the surface. Episode 263 with Steve Gardner has nice discussions of IAWA all-round lifting at 35:00 and 59:20 minutes. Episodes and 255 and 214 with Stevie Shanks seem to feature notables in the IAWA, historical perspectives on all-round, and the Dinnie stones. The unnumbered episode “Dinosaur Training with Brooks Kubik” from Jan 13, 2023 is also a great one that I listened to because of Al’s Dino Gym.

          (Some of Sanjiv’s comments about them were that “Steve Gardner has been around All-Round Weightlifting since the beginning and knows a lot of the history behind British Amateur Weight-Lifting Association (BAWLA), the development of British Strength Athlete’s Guild (BSAG) and eventually International All-Round Weightlifting Association (IAWA). He is also exceptionally strong. Stevie Shanks hosted the World Championship this year… His Dad (Jack) was the first to lift the stones since Donald Dinnie and their family is still the steward of the stones if anybody wants to give them a go.)

          2) On YouTube, the strongwoman Chloe Brennan actually has a video titled “Training for the All Round Weightlifting World Championships!” (I believe an IAWA Postal meet near the end of 2024) Very inspirational! I felt the practice/training aspects felt very authentic.

          3) The IronMind store has a set of 11 article reprints from the Milo journal about various all round lifts for <$75.

            Nice links!

            I particularly enjoyed the CrossFit article.

              Another nice reference…

              I found a thread started Feb 27, 2022 titled “How to get folks to try all round lifting?” in which Randy Smith pointed out the Reddit thread “The Odd, the Old and the Original: A case for Atypical Lifting”

                  Turns out leverage is not a new idea!
                  I’m not sure if this is still commercially available:

                    The Isochain has been replaced by the “Isomax.”

                      Hi Sanjiv,

                      In order to do full-load training without a ton of plates, you might want to consider fabricating some kind of leverage system. For example, a landmine kind of pivot at the bottom, the plates at the free end, and then a ring maybe one-third of the way up. That might let 1000 pounds of plates create a 3000 pound load. Maybe not a perfect calibration, but probably better than training that is limited to 1000 pounds.
