I would prefer that token lifts not be done.
It would be nice if lifters had to qualify
with a respectable total in order to compete,
and possibly even achieve a respectable total
in order to set records in the 3-lift category.
Having said that, I'm not sure, but I think a
lifter recently hurt his shoulder setting a record
in the squat, and finished up with token lifts
in the bench and dead to preserve his record.
I think it was good and only fair to allow that.
Besides, if we're 3-lift people, we probably
should concentrate on our totals rather than
get too caught up with the individual records.
Finally, it’s getting to the point that I can’t
oppose much of anything (other than drugs
and most equipment) that might bring more
lifters to the meets.
