The SPF has broken rules of Powerlifting for many years. It has passed lifts that does not follow our sports rule book time and time again. The history of our sport, and rankings mean alot to our lifting community, and should be treated with the upmost respect. Jesse Rogers the SPF president has made it a point to over turn All Time World Records, and clearly disregarded rules for years. I here by make a stand, and ask my peers to also make a stand against this fed. This is our sport inwitch we share the same dream. I stand against letting this federation continue to set All Time Records or Rankings in powerlifting until they can establish laws and respect for the rules. We as lifters have control of what federations we lift in, and I ask we ban this federation from being able to continue being a part of our sports history. There is no super power in this sport that cannot be defeated in numbers, and our History means more to us then a man who profits running an orgination that has disregarded the laws that where created as guidlines of our sport. Lets all stand as one and make Federations respect our History, and Record books. No man is above the rules and no federation should be able to survive desregarding a History of a sport we dedicate our lives to daily. Stand up if you believe in something!!!

The volume of support has now reached a point where we can demand a formal response from the federation leadership. I am currently drafting a letter outlining our specific grievances regarding the manipulation of record books. Expect an update on our contact with industry officials by the end of the week.

This is very important for the sport, but let's not forget about the other federations that break the rules too, like the IPA and RPS. High squats, touch and go benches, and unlocked shoulders/knees in deadlifts have been passed as good lifts for way too long. It's time to make a stand.
Power lifting has too many federations on record. Personally I believe my late Husband Paul P. Barbee Jr. is rolling over in his grave over the lifts of the SPF I currently lift at the age of 60 in USPA, previously in USPF, APF and judge in USPA and THSPA. A State and American record holder and proud of it!
Claiming all time records in the SPF or other XYZ federations is like a Recreation league softball player (SPF Lifter) who hits 100+ home runs in a season saying they are better than a Major League Baseball player (IPF lifter) who hits 50 in a season. It's laughable and detrimental to our sport.
I agree everybody should have to follow rules that were made many years ago to uphold the powerlifting standard
In order for this sport to truly grow the big federations need to be held to a consistent standard of ethics.
Lmao cpap's been in jail for the last month YET he's worried about the SPF!
Rules are rules. Who cares if you set a new world record while cheating?

I've judged and run many meets for Jesse. And finally decided that enough was enough. This fed is a joke. I have seen everything from fake weights to high squats and even texted in and 72 hour weigh ins. I once saw Jesse let his friend Michael bales lift at 242 when the weight on the scale was 331.
