Saw that this morning, great news! What exactly does "title sponsor" mean where it says "StartingStrength.com Title Sponsor for the Pro Raw Challenge!"? Will there be an SS.com banner on the platform?

Awesome!

If you get to have a banner up somewhere it's got to have an illustration like the one on the cover of SS3rd as the next salvo in the LBBS/hip drive/don't look up wars.

[Brian Harlin]

You are in full Blitzkrieg mode now, aren't you? Bold. I like it.

[Tom Campitelli]

I think this is a cool move. Nicely done.

Yes. A banner with the sponsors names in order of level of sponsorship.

Will the Starting Strength ProRaw Challenge inlcude the Press from the rack? That would be cool. A special ribbon/plaque from Rip to the lifter with the highest press selected from those who total elite in their weight class (or the top 20% of each weight class or something like that). No knee bends.

Call the award the Starr or the Grippaldi or something. Totally optional event. Lifts can be taken any time during the regular triathlon. As many attempts as they want.

That would be a cool way to really put the SS stamp on a powerlifting event. It would also be intersting to see what some of those bench monsters can OHPress.

Does this include masters?
