Pacific Institute for Sports Excellence will be hosting another casual/ everyone welcome lifting competition this weekend, Saturday October 16th. Sorry for the short notice, but if you are interested, please let us know by this evening (Thursday).
This is a great opportunity for our gang to have some fun and do some lifting in a different context. Like I said, anyone is welcome!
Schedule:
Women will start at 1:00
Men will start at TBA
Please arrive an hour ahead of your start time to register, warm up etc.
Once we know how many people are coming we’ll have a better idea of the schedule (shouldn’t go later than 5) and number of attempts we will be allowing.
NOTES:
- Competition will be snatch and then clean and jerk.
- There will be a weigh in just prior to the event to determine rankings
- Contestants will declare their opening attempts at weigh in.
- Technique will be judged as per IWF standards (no press out etc., must wait for down signal).
- There will be four platform warm up area and a competition platform. Eleiko and DHS IWF certified (kg sets) bars and bumpers will be used.
- Clean and jerk competition will begin 15min after the end of the snatch event.
- There will be weigh-ins prior to each group starting, no weight classes but relative weight lifted (vs body weight) will be scored by a Sinclair coefficient.
- The weight of the bar will begin at the lowest declared opening attempt and will progressively move up in weight.
- Each contestant may be limited to the number of attempts (instead of 3), depending on the number of competitors but will be eliminated after 2 consecutive misses.
- At every successive weight each athlete will have the opportunity to lift it or decline it and wait for a heavier weight.
- Athletes are not required to lift the opening weight and can enter the contest at any time.
- The highest weight the athlete lifts will count towards their total.
- Sinclair total will determine the overall male and female winners.
- There will be no entry fee but everyone will have to sign a waiver at the front desk.
- Volunteer scorekeepers and loaders would be appreciated (i.e. men during the women’s event and vice versa).
Let’s get our gang to represent! Should be fun!
