Arnold Athlete Email #5

Coach Registration

Did you or your coach forget to register by Feb 14th?

The original deadline (Feb 14) was to allow us to submit the names to the Arnold organizers for the free Arnold Expo wristbands by the their deadline.

The plan was to have anyone who missed the registration deadline to register at the meet itself. But, wee have opted to re-open the Coach Registration Form for late registration to help you avoid the extra task come meet day. The online registration form has now been extended to Monday, March 2nd @ 5pm EST.

This is a 2-step process, please read below.

U.S. Coaches must be current members.
International coaches must receive both permission from their home federation as well as USA Powerlifting prior to registering. Please review the criteria here: Coaching at Regional, National or International Events

STEP 1: Coaches to register here: COACHES REGISTRATION FORM by March 2nd @ 5pm EST

STEP 2: Once registered, coaches will need to pass your UniqueID to the athlete so they may add it to the Athlete Change Form .

All coaches who registered by Feb 14th will receive an Arnold Expo wristband that will give you access all three days of the expo. Any who register after will be required to purchase your Arnold Expo wristband through the Arnold ticket booths located throughout the convention center during the Arnold weekend.

MEDICATION, PREWORKS & DRUG TESTING

It is important to remember that our events are drug tested. If you take ANY medication for any reason, you must verify if it if your medication is permitted or prohibited. If prohibited, a TUE (Therapeutic Use Exemption) application must be submitted. The National Office can help through that process if needed.

Verify mediations through here: https://www.globaldro.com/US/search Enter: Athlete > Weightlifting > then your mediation.

Additionally, many pre-workouts contain prohibited substances, whether declared on the ingredient labels or a hidden (contaminated) substance within the product. You as the athlete are responsible for what you put in your body and may cause a failure, which happened a few years ago at the Arnold. Consumer beware and only use products that are third party tested to help protect yourself.
