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.

APT's NOTLD 2010 MAKES THE COVER OF POWERLIFTING USA

After months of hard work by all involved, the NOTLD will get the credit it deserves as the premier deadlifting event in America with is cover spot on the December 2010 issue of Powerlifting USA.

Thanks to all the great lifters that came and put on the performance of a life time, the sponsors that got on board and supported these lifters and made this epic showdown a reality, the fans that showed up by the hundreds, and all of the workers that made it go off without a hitch.
