From this day forward these are the new qualifying totals for the 4 Super Open Classes. The only significance the traditional weight classes have in the WPO is for World Records only. All current WPO lifters who lifted in the 2005 WPO Semifinals in either Chicago/Helsinki will automatically be able to come back to the 2006 WPO Semifinals. In the event that you don't exceed the new qualifying total you will have to re-qualify for the 2007 Season. I'm sure that some lifters will think this isn't fair.The WPO lifter is at the top of the powerlifting food chain!! Only the cream of the crop can thrive. If these new totals are out of your reach than you should stay in the APF/WPC until you're more competitive. Nothing wrong with winning some APF Seniors/WPC Worlds Titles, and then try out the WPO when you're more seasoned. If you have lifted in the WPO Finals then you can only do the APF Seniors as a Guest Lifter. Unless you are re-qualifying for a different Super Open Class. I would hope that all WPO lifters would lift as guest lifters in any APF Meet whether it be local/regional/national. It's only fair. Good luck!!
