Max's Powerlifting Competition: It's Happening. It's Already Here.

[tank_rockarms]

Who: Max, Powerlifters, Spectators
What: A Powerlifting Competition
Where: The Weight Room
When: Saturday, Feb. 7th
Warnings: I make no promises about anything that transpires.



The Saturday of the Powerlifting competition was finally here. Max had prepared for it with his utmost. There was a station where competitors would sign in, a station for competitors to sign in, a station for competitors to get their free t-shirt, a station for competitors to get protein bars and electrolyte beverages, three squat racks set up for use, three deadlifting platforms, and three bench press stations, all waiting to be used.



It was beautiful. Life was beautiful. Lifting was beautiful. Everything was beautiful.

((There are five weight classes which had actual amounts of weight attached to them but which, for the purposes of this log, are heretofore referred to as:
1. Small Child (aka Featherweight)
2. What Should Pass For Normal Woman (aka Lightweight)
3. What Should Pass For Normal Dude (aka Welterweight)
4. Bara Dad (aka Middleweight)
5. Character Chris Plays. (aka Heavyweight)
This isn't to say that a male character cannot be in the second tier, or a female character in another tier, these are just to give ideas. Little Mac might be in the second tier. Hagakure would be in the third, even though he is technically a Character Chris Plays. You get the idea.

In the 'competition' thread if you could kindly rate your character on two criteria (Strengt/raw power and Weightlifting Practice/knowledge of form), with a 1 being 'poor/untrained' and 5 being 'expert level' I'm going to use a d6 dice rolling system to figure out how well your character lifts, based on how many ranks they have in these categories. Yes, I'm a nerd, thank you.

"Maybe," and this was just a hunch, but, "they just assumed from all the beefed out men on the advertisin' that it was gonna be mostly dudes anyway."

Vinnie took one look at the mandatory shirts, and added, "Yeah, like that."

Re: Check In

"The posters said it was for anybody. And the beefed out guy in the poster was Sonny and a baby. Girls like Sonny; he ain't scary or nothin'. And babies are babies. The shirt's the shirt, nobody saw that until they got here today. I was sorta hopin' maybe Daisy might do it, or some of the faculty, but nobody has, yet."

"This does seem like something Daisy'd be into," admitted Vinnie with a shrug. "Maybe next time you could get her on the poster with Sonny. Y'know, seeing a girl deadlift might inspire more."

If only Sakura was still here.

"Yeah, that's an idea. I just asked Sonny to do it 'cause I'm trainin' him, and it was easiest to ask him or you to do it. Coulda been you on there instead."

"S'probably better that you didn't. Voile asked me t'be in her posters already - wouldn't want everyone t'get sick of lookin' at me."

Re: Check In

[tank_rockarms]

"Why're you so popular?" Max asked in a tone of voice that expressed some level of surprise, "and what're the posters for?"

Good job, Max. Nice.

Re: Check In

[flowerofmtsilver]

Thanks, Max.

"Uh, I couldn't tell you why. But the posters're for her Pokemon contests."

Re: Check In

[tank_rockarms]

"Uh... what's a pokemon contest?" Max asked. "It ain't like this, is it?"

Re: Check In

[flowerofmtsilver]

"Well, I've never been in one either. But I think a lot more dressin' up's involved," mused Vinnie. "Being flashy, showin' off your Pokemon moves 'n' wowing a panel of judges. That kinda shit."

Re: Check In

[tank_rockarms]

"Like a pokemon beauty pageant?" Max asked. "Like, you slam yourself up on stage, make a fancy vine whip, play a clarinet, answer some questions about foreign policy?"
