Meet Highlights: This will be a memorable event. It will be a CPO sanctioned meet which is affiliated with the WPC. The lifting and equipment rules are the same as APF and WPC. But, we invite lifters from ALL organizations.

You will lift with the best equipment, experienced judges and spotters and in a supportive and friendly atmosphere with great music.

Lifters will be coming from Toronto, Kitchener, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec region and from New York. You will see some unbelievable lifts.

Big Clint Harwood will attempt to be the first man in Canada to benchpress over 800 lbs. Bruce McIntyre now a young 50 year old and under 242 lbs will attempt to beat his own world record bench of 600 lbs. Janet Faroane is almost down to 114 lbs and will bench over 300 pounds. Sam Luciano is training hard to beat 600 lbs in the masters 242 class. Sebastian Burns has dieted down from 275 to 242 lbs and will go for a world record lift over 700 lbs. Jenny Burkey will attempt to beat her best bench of 260 lbs at 123 lbs body weight.

As well as some of the best lifters in the world, we will witness the courage and determination of people competing in their first meet.

The trophies will be Skulptures by Seeker and if you have seen these, you know that they are works of art, made especially for powerlifting and they are worth the price of admission alone.

It is shaping up to be a great meet. I hope to see you there. Please let me know if you are planning to be there, to lift or to help out.

Directions
To Bronx Gym, 184 Harwood Boul., Vaudreuil-Dorion, Quebec, Canada

From Toronto:
401 East after you cross into Quebec, the highway will split into Rte 20 and Rte 40, both say to Montreal, but take the right exit Rte 20 to Montreal, Centre Ville. The first town you come to will be Vaudreuil-Dorion, go past two stoplights then the building is on your right.

From Ottawa: 417 to Montreal stay on it until the end which is Vaudrueil-Dorion, careful not to turn off onto Rte 40 east to Montreal. Once on Rte 20 east, go past two stoplights then the building is on your right.

From Montreal: Rte 20 west, after the bridge into Vaudrueil-Dorion turn left (no left turn during rush hour) onto St. Charles, left at the stop sign St. Jean Baptist, then immediate right turn onto Chicoine, then first right turn, then right again onto Harwood boul., then down two buildings and right turn into the drive way and park in the back.

From New York: I-87 north becomes Rte 15 after crossing the border, go thru to Champlain Bridge and take directions to Toronto, end up on Rte 20 west for 20 miles, then follow same directions as from Montreal.

Hope to see you all there, it's going to be a great meet!!

Is this event drug tested? Just curious because the CPO says the drug test at all of their events, but judging be the pictures it seems that these guys might be running some EQ, dbol, halos, suspension, and more.
At least I have never seen a ~650lbs bench clean.

I dont think this is drug tested, where did you see that CPO test at all events, mightve mistaken it with CPU? CPO has 2 divisions amateur and pro, amateur is drug tested pro isnt, but if you were going to go for a record at this meet under drug tested/amateur I think you would have to request a drug test because they keep seperate records for each... Ill have to look into that.

Clint Harwood going for the 800 bench is lifetime drug free. Hes done 771 at the Arnold Classic WPO Bench Finals meet earlier this year.

Records and past meet results are at this link for now: http://www.d1035140.dotsterhost.com/index.html

The gym is around 30mins west of Montreal, I might be out coming from Toronto, still trying to book vacation (yeh i work on saturdays).
