Why would the introduction of a U120 cause more U90s to move to U105? surely if the U90s wanted to do a U105 comp they would anyway regardless of the fact there is a U120 cat? (surely the U105 weights/events wouldnt change)

Not really a problem I think. You could even run them side by side I now disagree with my inters suggestion and agree with all who say same day weigh in etc above

Your living your dream buddy, never forget that!

(surely the U105 weights/events wouldnt change) I don't see u90's suddenly changing weight class all I mean is if the u120 was made then if some of the bigger u105's (i.e. the guys who are naturally 110kg+) decided to compete at u120 it would open more space in the u105's. If that makes any sense.

If you're in the latter two categories, you need to get stronger, its as simple as that (no matter what weight cat you be in)

Member 616, 8404 posts SQ 180, BP 130, DL 220 530.0 kgs @ 78.8kgs UnEq	Should there be a weightlifting style calculation where a coach says 'drew your 5'6" you compete in the 73's' 'Martin your 6'2" your a 120' Etc (a note for the stupid people, I'm been silly)

Chris 'The Magician' Melling Member 1443, 978 posts SQ 270, BP 180, DL 320 770.0 kgs @ 135kgs UnEq	Is this not already happening to some extent at bodypower with a open and heavy open class?

The recent UKSC qual I competed in 5 reps won axle 8 won squat pull was for max 5 of 8 finished farmers rapidly medley was done a bit by some, more by others, and mostly completed by a few hercules hold...winner got 1min+....last was 30secs+ How the fk that is get anything like PL is beyond me If you're only strong enough to do one rep on each event, shuffle the moving events a few metres, you need to get stronger, its as simple as that
