TODAY AT CATALYST GYM: A VIRTUAL POWERLIFTING MEET!
4 local competitors (3 men, 1 woman) will compete with other lifters worldwide in Squat, Bench Press, and Deadlift. Their attempts will be videotaped, and submitted to an international panel of judges. From there, the judges will each check every single lift for validity. The basics:
SQUAT – Depth: crease of hip must travel below the top of the knee
BENCH PRESS – Must wait for the referee to issue a ‘Press!’ command when the bar is motionless on the chest, then a ‘rack!’ command at lockout
DEADLIFT – Must hold the bar at lockout until told to lower the weight.
Lifter’s meeting: 8:30am
Competition begins: 9:00am
Spectators are welcome!
(due to the Meet, our 9am Crossfit class will be postponed until 12pm. See you there!)
