Courtney, thanks for being crystal clear on exactly what you support. I, too, share your desire to see the USPF and WPF in alignment. In terms of the monolift, however, I would like to see the USPF initiate a motion for removal of the mono at the next world meeting. I see no harm in trying. The use of full length briefs and the Boss suit were reversed.... correct? Anyway, this is my opinion, but I agree.... eventually, there must be an agreement on the rules. It is (as you said) common sense that we share the same rules as our world affiliate.

In regard to all the names you listed in your previous post, do you really believe that they favor full use of the mono? Like I said, the motion passed with specific language about how the arm would remain in a fixed position. Hell, I don't think anyone (including myself) would have an issue with using a mono as a squat rack (LMFAO). Even the Great One (Ed Coan) voted for the mono with this verbage..... correct? So you see, my point is not that the mono has no support by the voting members, but that it only received that support with certain conditions. And IMHO, it is a very far stretch to go from the point we are now, to the point you would like see us (in terms of the mono). And BTW, for those who feel I am trying to disrupt the progress in the USPF, please feel free to view some of my old posts. The USPF is (IMO) one of the greatest feds, and the best hope to bring some resemblance of consolidation to the sport. And progress is being made well enough, without the mono. Sticking to their guns is what has kept them alive during times lesser feds would have folded. Ok..... let's see some vids now, Bruner (LOL).
