DATE SET FOR 2012 EVENT

October 20th will be the 2012 event. That gives everyone plenty of time to train, get their qualifying meets in, and get their name in the hat for the 2012 edition. We will be putting out the information about the sign up process very soon. Rest assured we are working very hard to make this meet bigger and better than ever. Stay tuned!

Steve Flaming Wins Automatic Spot for 2012

Steve Flaming, although just missing his PR attempt, defeated all of the other male competitors to automatically qualify for the evening session for 2012. Congrats to Steve and we look forward to him putting up way more than 800 next year in prime time.

Results up for the 2011 NOTLD

Powerlifting Watch did a great job of keeping everyone informed of the results. Special thanks to Chad Salyer, NOTLD scorer, who did such an amazing job.

Over 1,500 Pics of the 2011 NOTLD Are Available Online

Over 1,500 pictures of the 2011 show are up and availble at http://www.xtremepower.tv/NOTLD. There are pictures from both the morning and night session, plus lots of pics from behind the scenes, armwrestling, etc. Enjoy

Jennifer O'Neil Takes Female Division

NOTLD first timer, Jenny O'Neil, won the female division of the NOTLD. She wanted that 500 pound pull, but ended the day with an amazing lift in the high 400's so maybe we will see that 500 next year on the NOTLD stage. What is more amzaing is that she snapped her forearm just a few months ago and was able to get back into such awesome form so quickly. A testament to her didication.

Alison McWeeny Brings Her Isnpiring Story to the NOTLD

Alison McWeeny brought her inspiring story of triumph to the NOTLD stage. After losing a leg in a horrific boating accident 2 years ago, she completed a 171 pound lift on her 4th attempt. MOre importantly, she inspired all that saw her to never give up!

Urbank Breaks All-time American Record at the NOTLD

Vincent Urbank became the greatest 308 deadlifter in the history of America by destroying 906 on his opener at the NOTLD. He then called for 936 on his third to be the greatest deadlifter in American history regardless of bodyweight, but that bid fell just short. He is only 3 pounds off the all-time world record 308 pull and will no doubt eclipse that record soon if he so desires.

Urbank Out Duels Bolton

Vincent Urbank accepted Andy Bolton's challenge to face him at the NOTLD to see who was the biggest puller on the planet. Urbank is America's biggest deadlifter this year and took that responsibility to face Bolton with the weight of the entire nation on his back. He picked the perfect strategy of opening with a new all-time American 308 record of 906 and pushed the sickly Bolton too hard. Doing what many considered impossible, he defeated a man that had not been beaten in a deadlift event in 8 years. If there are no problems with his strongman schedule, Urbank plans to be back to defend his title as the NOTLD"s biggest puller in 2012.

Richard Hawthorne Dominates the NOTLD on Formula

NOTLD first timer, Richard Hawthorne, dominated the field for the best coefficient deadlift by pulling 4.9 times his bodyweight. He is an amazing lifter and only weighed in at 125.6 pounds and ripped up an astounding 611 pounds. He also recieved the first ever NOTLD championship belt presented by Xtreme Power TV. Richard assured us that he is not taking the belt lightly and will be training hard to defend it in 2012 against all comers. You better start training now to have any chance at prying his fingers off of his strap.

Elisa Bird Wins Automatic Bid for 2012

Elizabethton's own Elisa Bird earned her automatic spot in the female division for the NOTLD in 2012 by way of her best female score at the amateur flight of the NOTLD. She is only 15, but we all know she will be training hard to represent her self, and her school, well with the greatest deadlifters in the world next year.

Zach Seymour Wins XPTV UPC Champtionship belt

Boy Wonder, Zach Seymour, won the first ever deadlift belt for Xtreme Power TV's Ultimate Powerlifting Championship at the NOTLD. He competed in 3 of the events throughout the year and just edged out Richard Hawthorne's 2 scores. Congratulations to Zach and we can't wait to see him defend the belt next year.

EXALT GYM BECOMES THE TITLE SPONSOR OF THE 2011 NOTLD

Exalt Gym is the only real gym in the entire Tri-cities area. Forget those cozy little "gyms" with the coffee shops and pink foam weights. This is a real gym for real athletes. They have competition benches, squat racks, chains, bands, monolift, GHR, reverse hyper, battling ropes, sleds, tires, etc. It was the only gym beastly enough to handle the Andy Bolton seminar in 2010. We are proud to have a gym with their vision as the title sponsor of this event. If you live in the area, there is no other place to train. If you ever visit (you know, like to watch the greatest deadlift show on earth) you have to get workout in there.

QUEST NUTRITION IS TITLE SPONSOR OF THE ANDY BOLTON CHALLENGE

Quest Nutrition and Sherman Ledford have stepped up as the title sponsor for the ANDY BOLTON CHALLENGE. I can think of no better a company to do so. Not only have they been invloved with the NOTLD since the second year, they supply the best supplements in the world to the best powerlifters in the world. Lifters like Mike Mastrean, Doc Holloway, Brian Siders, and Wade Hooper can't be wrong. Not only are they a financial supporter, but hey will also be giving away hundreds of dollars in supplements for the participants at the NOTLD.

IF YOU WANT IT, ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SHOW UP AND TAKE IT

The lifter that leaves the 2011 NOTLD with the best Wilks formula coefficient combined score from all of the Ultimate Powerlifter CHampionships shows will recive this $1500 Ulimate Powerlifting Championship belt for being the world's ultimate deadlifter. There are only 4 of these in the world: 1 for the best male full meet lifter, 1 for the best female full meet lifter, 1 for the best bencher, and of course this one for the ULTIMATE DEADLIFTER which will be awarded at the NOTLD.

The winner will get this belt strapped around their waist in 60 million homes on Fox Sports Net on Extreme Power TV plus all of the pride of being considered the greatest deadlifter in the world. The winner is expected to return to the UPC series on Xtreme Power TV and defend that title in 2012 when XPTV plan to again award it at the belt at the culmination of the series at the NOTLD.

Orlando Green Prepares to Go Big at NOTLD in 2011

Orlando Green (230) deadlifts an 865 PR at the Ronnie Coleman Expo's Clash of the Titans IV. Orlando first tasted the NOTLD stage in 2010 with an amazing 815 pull at 220 to finish third. This is some amazing strength incrrease in 6 months and we can't wait for Oct. to see him pull the 900.

POWERLIFTERS GET ATHLETE TESTED

Several NOTLD related powerlifters represented the sport when we became the first powerlifters tested at the ETSU athlete performance lab. We performed quite well. I am now preparing an article on the results. The short run down is that we had higher vertical jumps, body fat % about 5-6 points below other power athletes, and were the third fastest at developing force of all athlete groups. Not too bad for some "fat, out of shape muscle heads".

Until the article is published enjoy the 41 pctures at the ETSU website.
