Since Squats are out, today was a day of lunging.
Walking Lunges: BWx 1/2 length x 2
+50LBS X 1/2 length x 2
BB Lunges: 95x6 (total # of reps)
115x6
135x6, 2 (almost ate it, so I thought this was a good place to stop)
Hypers: 35, 30, 20, 15 (110 reps)
GHR Situps: 10x5
I go full retard whenever I do lunges, so this actually wasnt too bad. Dave is right in me needing to go heavy in order to get anything out of them though.
Also, Vit and Dave, the club sports meeting is this Thursday at 4 PM. I will check on location again, but I am assuming its in the Wooden Center.

Club Sports Jamboree
Apparently we were accepted as a club sport for the fall. However, no one informed us that the club sports jamboree (the main recruiting event) was today. I just found out. If anyone is reading the blog, could someone go down there and hang out for a bit? The thing runs until 5pm and apparently they have a space set up for us. If anything, leave a note saying to email someone if they're interested.

UCLA Powerlifting Club: Update
Club Sports Update:
Okay-- for those interested, here's the rundown. I spoke with the Director of Club Sports, and overall I think the conversation went well. I think he likes us and sees the Powerlifting club as a great addition to the club teams.
However, his main hesitancy in granting us a Conditional Club Status revolves around the unique variable of using the Wooden Center Facilities. Most other clubs utilize field spaces, whereas we would be occupying Wooden Center. It would be hard for him to grant us exclusive use of the facility 1-3hours a day (or our 5 training days). I told him that though exclusive use would be nice, it's not necessary; we wouldn't be a problem, and pointed out common gym courtesy (basically what we normally do). However, he kept asking about our coaches, who trains members, what about people who don't know anything, people wanting to work out with you, etc. I tried to address any concerns and told him that not only does our team excel on teamwork and employ a cyclical system of more seasoned lifters helping out newer lifters for form and technique, but that we also have an expert lifter/coach, Dave. And most of all, safety is a big priority. Besides, I pointed out that it might actually be more beneficial (for newer lifters, and UCLA (injury-wise) that having a powerlifting team would be able to point out correct form from the get go, instead of developing bad habits.
I told him much more b.s., but basically it sounds like to me that his main areas of concern are 1) Safety; and 2) Liability issues and using Wooden (i.e: using Wooden equipment, as a club you are now able to solicit anyone, etc.)
So that's where the talks are left at; he's gonna speak with Wooden Center managers/trainers regarding his facility/safety concerns etc before getting back to us

UCLA Powerlifting Club: Update
Club Sports Update:
The Program Director of Club Sports, Jason, finally contacted me yesterday regarding the status of our club. Though he/they admit our club is legit, small signs clue us into that our Club being questionable for the next year. Besides Club Sports taking such a long time to get back to us since we first submitted our application at the beginning of the quarter, he says that it was "extremely competitive" this year, and unsure of being able to approve us for the upcoming year. I will be talking with him this afternoon
Hence, if anyone has any selling points they would like to share, that would be great. Any stories, ideas, or benefits that we as a club team can offer, please post. I will be speaking with him this afternoon, and the more talking points; the better. If not, i'll try my best to convince him otherwise

Club Status Update
I spoke with Jason (head Club Sports guy) today and he said we now have everything in. One thing he wanted to see was a list of teams and where they are located. I guess one of the criterion used to judge potential clubs is whether there are local inter-collegiate meets. The Cal State Collegiate meet is nearby, but that's really the only one I know of. I emailed him a list of clubs, so hopefully that gives some legitimacy to the idea of a collegiate powerlifting team. We should hear back sometime at the end of the quarter. There are two other potential clubs at the moment, but I'm not sure what that means.
Also, no-go on the idea of storing the PROWLAAAAA in the club sports gym. First we would have to wait until we were actually a club (next fall), and then we'd have to be under some sort of supervision strategy. I guess Crew is allowed to use it because they have a full-time coach who makes sure they don't kill themselves. Even storing it in there isn't possible. There's no way I can store that thing in my office, so I'm sort of stuck as to where we could put it at the moment.

Club Mission Statement Draft 1
I finally got around to drafting the club mission statement, which is the last of the requirements for us to be an official club team. I'm going to show a draft to one of the club sports guys this week to see if it has everything it needs to. I couldn't find the latest club application on their website, so I've mirrored the version I have here.
However, I could sure use some feed back on stuff people would like to see, or think is missing. This is basically 3 pages of just my thoughts, so having some actual team comments in it would make it that much better.
PS: does anyone have that USA Powerlifting issue where we're featured? If so, could I borrow it?
