Although “the full rules and events (some 20 to start with)” will be published next month, the release noted that “We will count the WR´s since Nov. 2012 (Women´s World Championships) and we hereby can already announce the first official WR - Anna Rosen in last woman standing deadlift like the picture tells you. All other current records will be published in our pages and also in Power News magazine. Each WR holder will earn their certification also.”

US founder Jyrki Rantanen said the rules and records in his organization are based on a modification of those developed by Dione Wessels and used by ASC.
