Event format

Weigh In/Warm Up (4:30PM): The order of sign-in, beginning at 4:30PM, at the Health & Fitness Center (HFC) Desk will establish the lifting throughout the competition.

Lifting rules will be explained and demonstrated before each event, however, we do expect all competitors to read and understand the lifting rules before the event. If you have any questions, you can clarify it during this time.
