About Us

Why we started… 

-
We came together to blend the gym communities within the sport of weightlifting.

Weightlifting is usually an individual sport and can be quite daunting for beginners. We decided to create a team based environment to not only encourage beginners to step on the stage, but also to bring together different groups of people from other local gyms.

-

What is our event? 

-
A team based weightlifting competition where each individual score contributes to a wider team score.

-

How does it work ?

-
A team is made up of a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 12 of both female and male lifters

(24 in total per team) 


You will weigh in, have 3 attempts at both snatch and clean and jerk and the two heaviest lifts from each are added together as your total. 


It is then scored by a Sinclair calculator for your final scoring. 


The top 6 scores of your team will be entered as your teams final score.
