I like the UPA. Pretty solid in the midwest and I know the President of the UPA and he puts on very lifter friendly meets. I think the federation based meets will eventually start to take a back seet to super meets such as the Lexen. Gene Rychalk has been trying to put this concept together for awhile now. Basically, you can be a card carrying member of whatever fed you want and compete in the super meet based on a qualifying total.
