The President’s Challenge

Jordan Stanton, the United States Strengthlifting President, in good faith would like to offer a special challenge. Any lifter that is able to out-total the president himself, will receive a free USSF membership for the year and will automatically qualify for the USSF championships in November.

Do not worry ladies, the president’s wife Erin Stanton, is willing to extend the same challenge.

This offer is contingent upon Jordan and Erin’s ability to safely compete based upon health and injury status.

Lifters compete in categories defined by sex, body weight, and age. There are twelve classes:

Open Division

Lightweight: Under 200lbs

Juniors: Under 21 years old
Adult: 21-39 years old
Masters: Over 40 years old

Masters: Over 40 years old

Heavyweight: Over 150lbs

Winners for each category are those with the highest total, determined by the summation of a lifter’s best Squat, Press, and Deadlift. If two lifters are tied, the lifter who submitted their lifts first will be declared the winner.

Video Submission

1. Lifters are allowed to submit up to three attempts for the Squat, the Press, and the Deadlift.
2. Lifts must be submitted between the dates of August 26th and September 2nd.
3. Lifts must be submitted with 48 hours of the attempt itself.
4. A lifter’s entire body must be visible throughout the lift from beginning to end.
5. Immediately after a lifter successfully completes an attempt, the lifter must visually identify the weight on the bar in one continuous recording.
6. The quality of the video, use of safety measures, and costume must allow for proper evaluation of the lift. Examples of the lifts being performed are available below.

Judging

All lifts will be judged by a USSF official for compliance with the ruleset. The detailed ruleset for the execution of the lifts can be found here. Lifts that clearly meet or do not meet the standard will be evaluated by a single official. Challenging or questionable lifts will be evaluated by a three-judge panel with judgment decided by a majority ruling.

Safety

Lifters must take proper safety precautions in performing their lifts. Most importantly during the squat, the lifter must have correctly set safety pins. Alternatively, a proper 2 or 4 side-spotter arrangement can be used. No backspotters are allowed.
