If you are entered in the open you CAN set age divison records. I have set 2 age records while entered in the open only. Many feds have both single lift and powerlifting records. In my opinion setting a deadlift record after squatting and bench is harder than just entering a deadlift meet.
Why is the train of thought that this is any less of a federation because the single lift records are lower than the powerlifting records?
Single lift meets are an alternate way to set a record in a lift without taking token weights on the other 2 lifts. If your are going make the record the biggest lift ever executed then what is the purpose behind have more that one record. Are we asking that the biggest lift be one and only record regardless if it was done during a powerlifting or single lift meet? I don't agree with that, I personally like the seperation of the 2.
