A test of natural strength will be on display when the Guyana Amateur Powerlifting Federation (GAPF) stages its Raw Championships on September 18.
According to a release from the federation, the fixture will be staged at the Critchlow Labour College and is scheduled to attract the cream of the nation’s strong men and women as well as casual lifters.
The release added that the competition will most likely be the largest local competition on the powerlifting calendar with the likelihood of eclipsing the Senior Nationals slated for November.
Athletes are now finding greater interest in the format of the sport that requires less performance-enhancing attire and guarantees more of a level playing field for all athletes in participation.
