Description (scroll down for online registration instructions)
–
This event is part seminar, and part sanctioned powerlifting meet. It is designed for a new lifter to powerlifting whom has not competed in a meet, or has only competed in 1-2 meets prior. 2XL Powerlifting staff and Team Stone powerlifters will cover everything an aspiring or beginning powerlifter needs to know to compete in a sanctioned powerlifting competition. 2XL and Team Stone includes world-champion powerlifters as well as APF sanctioned powerlifting referees to cover both the technique and strategy of a competing in a powerlifting meet as well as the logisitics and rules of a sanctioned contest.
–
2XL Staff will start by explaining day-of logsitics of a powerlifting meet, including weigh-ins, scheduling of flights, warm-ups, attempt selection and the flow of a typical meet. The rules, commands, and technique of the squat, bench and deadlift will be explained in a straight forward fashion.
–
From there, each participant will warm-up and go through how to work some of the competition equipment like a monolift. Then, being a sanctioned event, each lifter will take (3) official attempts on each lift, but in a more informal environment than a larger, faster-paced competition. APF-certified referees will give feedback to the lifters on the both on following the rules through the lifts as well as technique/form of each lift.
–
The lifting will take place on 2XL’s competition quality equipment used in many area APF meets (monolift squat racks, competition benches, competition bars). Thus, lifters will have a chance to practice on some of the equipment they may not usually have access.
–
Event will run from 8:00 a.m. to approximately 5:00 p.m.
