PLEASE STAY FOR AWARDS IF YOU CAN. We will ask you to pay for shipping if you request your medal to be mailed. If you do request this, please keep in mind that mailing awards is not a top priority immediately following a meet. Your patience is greatly appreciated.

Weigh-Ins begin promptly at 7:00am and will be done in order by Lot Number. Have your ID and 1st attempts in kilograms ready. If you are not present when your name is called, you will be called again after all other athletes have weighed in.

Rack Heights are important! We will help you find the correct rack height for squat & bench press (with foot blocks if necessary) so you are comfortable on the platform.

Equipment Check is imperative. We need to see everything you'll be wearing on the platform.

PARKING

Please park in the lot highlighted in GREEN. If you park in the red zones, your car will be towed. Please direct all of your friends, family, and coaches to also park in the green areas. The parking spaces in front of the neighboring stores must be kept clear.

COACH PASSES

Tickets can be purchased at the door after for $15 for spectators and $25 for coaches.

BE PREPARED. LEARN THE RULES.

READ THE RULEBOOK.

Don't forget your absolute necessities. You need a singlet, t-shirt, and knee high socks for deadlift. You may also use wrist wraps, a belt, and knee sleeves. Respond to this email if you have any questions about your equipment... AFTER you read the lifter's handbook. Your equipment DOES NOT have to be on the IPF approved list. We are no longer a member of the IPF. Your equipment MUST however, fit the specifications in the rulebook.

This may be your very first time stepping on a USA Powerlifting platform. Even if it is not, you need to be prepared. If you think you know all of the USA Powerlifting rules... you don't. But you can start with the basics in the rulebook. As an athlete, it is your responsibility to learn the technical rules of competition and ensure that your equipment is approved. This also includes following anti-doping/drug testing guidelines. Rules & By-Laws and Drug Testing information can be accessed at usapowerlifting.com.

We drug test 10% of our athletes by urinalysis. If you need to leave early or you need to skip the award ceremony, please do not do so without checking in with myself (Gina Galarza).

It is also a great idea to stay hydrated (hint!) so we can start the award ceremony as soon as possible!
