As the GAPLF recently held their elections, the new administration intends to keep to deadlines set, specifically for this event with the registration closing today and late registration attracting a fee of $500 until January 30, with no registration accepted after.
To make the competition more accessible to Berbice lifters, the Federation will be in the ancient county at the Hardcore Barbell Club on January 30 to collect forms.
Weigh-in for the first lift is billed for 07:00h-08:30h and the action beginning at 09:00h.
Young, up and coming powerlifting star, Romario Gonsalves, has already begun hitting the gym, pushing his body to the limit in a bid to cop the title and start the year off positively.
Gonsalves, who was battling the flu coming down to the end of 2016, said he has fully recovered and has been managing his studies as well, but has been training hard over the last few weeks for this competition.
