SUMMARY:Special Challenge: Push Press
DESCRIPTION:Special Challenge: Push Press\nThe USSF would like to invite you to a special challenge. From December 6th to December 12th\, athletes from around the world will submit their best push press to compete for honor\, glory and prizes. \nPush Press Ruleset \n\nThe press is performed from the rack or after cleaning up the weight. No viper pressing (continuous motion) is allowed.\nThe bar is held in both hands in the front of the neck with a prone power grip. The bar sits in the palm with the four fingers wrapped around the bar and the thumb opposed.\nThe feet are in-line with one another and not staggered.\nThe starting position must be upright with knees and hip fully extended and the chest up. The bar must start motionless below the level of the chin.\nAfter the starting position is correctly and obviously assumed\, the bar is pressed overhead in one continuous upward motion to a position with elbows completely extended and with the bar behind a vertical line from the most anterior aspect of the armpit to the floor. Any deliberate effort to press the bar after the bar is removed from the racks counts as the attempt. Any athlete who is anatomically unable to fully extend one or both elbows must demonstrate that before each attempt.\nThe use of a push press is allowed. Knees and hips may unlock to assist in initiating upward motion of the bar. Active dorsiflexion is also allowed.\nThe knees and hips must remain extended until the overhead position has been obviously assumed. No push jerk\, split jerk\, squat jerk allowed.\nOnce the overhead position has been obviously assumed and the bar has become motionless\, the bar is lowered back down and either walked back into the rack or carefully dropped to the floor with both hands controlling the rebound.\n\nReasons for Disqualification \n\nFailure to assume a start position with the bar motionless below the chin.\nAfter the upward initiation of the push press\, any downward motion of the center of the bar occurs prior to lockout\, as measured between the hands.\nAny re-bending of the knees or active hip flexion in order to catch the bar in a lower position.\nAny pronounced uneven lockout of the elbows.\nAny deliberate contact or any unintentional contact with a rack that would aid a lifter\nAny forward\, backward or lateral step during the press itself.\nDownward motion of the bar occurring from the start position but before upward motion is permitted\, including use of the hips and knees to get the bar moving.\nDropping the bar to the floor without control.\n\nThis is a current event

SUMMARY:2020 USSF Spring Open ATL - Cancelled
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThe best run and most enjoyable lifting contest has returned for the spring and Atlanta Barbell is pumped to be hosting. \nThis is a strengthlifing 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/rules/ \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\, will take home honor\, pride\, and a piece of memorabilia signifying your accomplishment.

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
