SUMMARY:2019 USSF Fall Classic Atlanta
DESCRIPTION:The best run and most enjoyable lifting contest has returned for the spring and Atlanta Barbell is pumped to be hosting. \nThis is a Strengthlifting meet. The contested lifts will be the squat\, press (overhead)\, and deadlift\, which differs from a powerlifting meet. While are both strength sports where similar movements are done\, strengthlifting has rules (or a lack thereof) that create quite a different type of competition. For example: \n-There is no bench press. Instead\, you will perform the standing press. \n-Deadlifts must to be done conventionally\, with the feet inside of the hands. \n-There are no weigh ins only weigh-outs. You do not weigh in prior to the meet\, you will weigh out after your final deadlift attempt\, and this will determine your weight class. \n-Judges are not involved in the lift whatsoever. No one tells you when to squat\, when to press\, or when to do anything during the actual lift. \nTo see other distinctions\, a full set of rules can be found here. \nThe meet will be held under the sanction of the US Strengthlifting Federation (USSF). Competitors will be ranked and can qualify for nationals. A USSF membership is required to compete. If you do not have one\, register here: https://internationalbarbellfederation.com/register/ussf-membership/ \nPrevious competitions have been enjoyable and efficient affairs and I am looking forward to this one running just as well. The meet will be capped at 40 lifters. We keep it at 40 so the meet doesn’t take up an entire day. So sign-up quick as we have sold out our past few events . Overall winners of the meet will be calculated via the Wilks formula. Our champions will take home honor\, pride\, and a piece of memorabilia signifying their accomplishment. \nLifting starts at 10am. Lifters will need to arrive by 830 for equipment check\, rack heights\, and a rules briefing. $5 admission for spectators.

SUMMARY:2019 USSF Southern California Spring Challenge
DESCRIPTION:Description\n\n\n\nStrength meets are unique competitions that allow lifters to establish their one-repetition maximum attempts in the squat\, overhead press\, and deadlift. Equipment allowed is limited to belts\, knee sleeves\, wrist wraps\, and shoes. All deadlifts are pulled conventionally. Lifters don’t weigh in. They weigh out after their last deadlift attempt. Rules that govern this meet are available here: \nUnited States Strengthlifting Federation Technical Rules \nThe SoCal Spring Challenge will be held under the sanction of the US Strengthlifting Federation (USSF). Competing in a USSF meet requires an annual membership\, and you can purchase your membership here: \nhttps://internationalbarbellfederation.com/membership/ \nYour meet entry fee includes an exquisitely designed and crafted shirt\, and you – as the stylish wearer of said shirt – will undoubtedly be the envy of all your friends. Don’t miss out (shirt guaranteed only if lifters register by May 26th). In addition\, there will be prizes for the overall winners (calculated via the Wilks formula). \nWe would like to take this opportunity to thank our sponsor\, The Strength Co. With two Orange County locations to serve you\, Costa Mesa and Villa Park\, there is no better time than now to book your rack! Check them out at www.thestrength.co. \n \nGetting there: \nIf you are coming from out of town\, the venue is literatlly within walking distance of John Wayne Airport\, and I recommend using that airport (SNA). You may be able to find slightly cheaper tickets into LAX\, but it’s a zoo and the drive sucks. Probably the cheapest option is Long Beach Airport (LGB)\, and is only a 25 minute drive to the venue. \nWhere to Stay: \nCheap 2.5 Stars: \nThere are a lot of Motel 6 type and privately owned motels in the area. These are going to be found on Newport Blvd. and Harbor Blvd. Fine for the bachelor\, not recommended for families. \nMid range 3 – 3.5 Stars: \nThere are a lot of travel hotels across the street from John Wayne Airport. However I believe these all charge for parking\, which is a huge pet peeve of mine. \nThe area at Hotel Terrace Dr. (55 Freeway and Dyer) has a bunch of hotels\, ranging from Embassy Suites to La Quinta\, and everything in between. Most offer free airport shuttles. \nHigh end 4+ Stars: \nThe area of Jamboree and Main have the Marriot\, Westin\, Wyndham\, etc… branded hotels. Very appropriate for families that want to have a comfy place to crash if you will be staying longer. \nWhere to Eat:\n \nIf you would like to contact me and let me know what you are looking for and your budget I can make recommendations. Ethinic is one thing we do really well here. \nGulliver’s Prime Ribs of Beef is across the street from the airport. I have been known to kill 3 or 4 pounds of meat there. \n\n\n\n

You can sign up here: \nUSSF Membership \nPrevious competitions have been enjoyable and efficient affairs and I am looking forward to this one running just as well. Your meet entry fee includes an impeccably designed\, high-quality t-shirt that will in all likelihood feature a dinosaur on it. Overall winners of the Oakland meet\, calculated via the Wilks formula\, will take home what has become the most coveted prize in all of strength sports—a stuffed Tyrannosarus Rex. \nFrequently Asked Questions\n \nWhat’s the refund policy? \nWhen you purchase a ticket\, you guarantee yourself a slot at the meet with limited attendance. As a result\, all ticket sales are final and refunds cannot be issued. \nIs my registration fee or ticket transferrable? \nIt is\, although you need to contact Thomas Campitelli to make sure that he has the new information and can process the transfer. This is especially important for t-shirts\, which are ordered several weeks in advance. Transfers that take place less than four weeks before the meet are not guaranteed to get a t-shirt. \nAre sumo deadlifts allowed at the meet? \nThey are not. You can take as wide of a stance as you like\, but your feet must be inside of your hands. \nWhy are you performing a weigh out? \nWe want our weight classes to be accurate representations of the lifter’s bodyweight on the day of the meet. Weigh-ins at some point prior to the meet allow for temporarily cutting weight\, which is a practice we hope to discourage. \nWhat is the schedule for the meet? \nIf the meet sells out\, there will be two sessions. One will be in the morning. One in the afternoon. Past meets have had an approximately 50/50 split between open and women compeitiors. Most likely\, the open competitors will lift in the morning and the women in the afternoon. That may well change\, however\, based on sign ups. The final schedule and heats will be published three to four weeks before the meet.

SUMMARY:USSF Fall Classic Chicago
DESCRIPTION:Returning for its 4th year is the 2018 Chicago Fall Classic. This is a USSF sanctioned event where the contested lifts are squat\, press\, and deadlift. Besides using the standing press in place of the bench press\, this meet differs in many ways from traditional powerlifting meets. \nUSSF Rules Summary\nPress\nThere is no bench press. Instead\, you will perform a standing overhead press. \nCommands\nThere are NO commands from the judges. You perform the lift and demonstrate control of the bar in and out of the rack. The judges simply judge. \nDeadlift\nThe meet requires you to do the conventional deadlift. There are no sumo deadlifts allowed. \nWeigh-Ins \nThere are no weigh-ins. Instead\, all competitors will weight out immediately after their final deadlift attempt. \nEquipment \nBelts are allowed\, knee sleeves are allowed\, and wrist wraps are allowed. We do not allow knee wraps\, squat suits\, deadlift suits\, or magic underpants. \nThe full set of rules can be found here: \nUS Strengthlifting Federation Rules \nUSSF Sanction\nAs a sanctioned USSF event\, this event will serve as a qualifying contest for the 2019 USSF Nationals event to be held in January 2019 at a location to be determined. \nYou must have a valid USSF membership to compete in this event. The cost for USSF membership is $25 and your membership is valid for one year. \nPurchase USSF Membership Here \nFAQ\nWhat’s the refund policy?\nWhen you purchase a ticket\, you guarantee yourself a slot at the meet with limited attendance. As a result\, all ticket sales are final and refunds cannot be issued. \nIs my registration fee or ticket transferrable?\nIt is\, although you need to contact David Abdemoulaie to make sure that he has the new information and can process the transfer. This is especially important for t-shirts\, which are ordered several weeks in advance. Transfers that take place less than four weeks before the meet are not guaranteed to get a t-shirt. \nAre sumo deadlifts allowed at the meet?\nUnfortunately not. You can take as wide of a stance as you like\, but your feet must be inside of your hands. \nWhy are you performing a weigh out?\nWe want our weight classes to be accurate representations of the lifter’s bodyweight on the day of the meet. Weigh-ins at some point prior to the meet allow for temporarily cutting weight\, which is a practice we hope to discourage.

SUMMARY:USSF Fall Open ATL
DESCRIPTION:The best run and most enjoyable lifting contest has returned for the fall and Atlanta Barbell is pumped to be hosting. \nThis is a strenthlifing meet. The contested lifts will be the squat\, press (overhead)\, and deadlift\, which differs from a powerlifting meet. While the are both strength sports in which similar movements are done\, strengthlifting has rules (or a lack) that create quite a different type of competition. Some of these include; There is no bench press. Instead\, you will perform the standing press. Deadlifts must to be done conventionally\, with the feet inside of the hands. You do not weigh in prior to the meet\, you weigh out after your final deadlift attempt. And best of all\, Judges are not involved in the lift whatsoever. No one tells you when to squat\, when to press\, or when to do anything during the actual lift. A full set of rules can be found at: \nhttps://internationalbarbellfederation.com/rules/ \nThe meet will be held under the sanction of the US Strengthlifting Federation (USSF). Competitors will be ranked and can qualify for nationals. A USSF membership is required to compete. \nPrevious competitions have been enjoyable and efficient affairs and I am looking forward to this one running just as well. Your meet entry fee includes a lifter slot and the option to purchase a meet shirt. Overall winners of the meet will be calculated via the Wilks formula\, will take home honor\, pride\, and a piece of memorabilia signifying your accomplishment.
