WHAT ARE ALL THESE EVENTS?????
A/BPU RAW(ish) CHALLENGE: a long-awaited sleeves only meet!
This one has been asked over and over again, and finally we have a competition for sleeves only lifters! If you meet the criteria above, join in to fight for the title!
RAW BENCH SUPERFLIGHT: The home of the biggest pecs!
Raw bench superflight is what it says on the tin: Raw bench, all lifters in one flight, going against each other on coefficient that takes into consideration age, bodyweight and gender! There can be only one…
OPEN DEADLIFT: One for the ones who like to pull.
This is a superflight style deadlift meet, open for anyone from first timers to world record holders. You can lift raw, medium or well done, meaning all equipment classes, weight classes, age classes, and both genders all compete against each other on points! Dead right
EQUIPPED SHOWDOWN: The most exciting form of powerlifing!
Equipped is rising through the ranks and we want to showcase the best of British equipped lifters. The WPO officials have also said they will have a close look at those who compete at this meet for next year’s invites…
EQUIPPED BENCH: Poly shirts ONLY galore!
This is a flight for those who love finesse. The most technical lift in powerlifting is the equipped bench, especially with traditional bench press shirts. It is a thing of beauty, and a thing of high blood pressure! This one is has no minimum entry criteria for all who want to try their hand at shirts or those who have done so for years.
BOMB SQUAD: Unlimited ONLY mayhem!
Our beloved Bomb Squad is the ultimate in inclusivity. You can wear a slingshot, insert or any other contraption used for benching. The bar goes to all directions, but at the end huge weights always get lifted! And winner takes home a big goddamn sword!
EQUIPPED BENCH FOR REPS:
In this challenge you can use bench shirts, slingshots or any other device. Women lift as many repetitions as possible with either 90kg or 130kg, men rep out with 200kg or 300kg. The one with most reps in each category gets chocolate (and a medal, but chocolate is the main thing)!
ENTRY FORMS: open on the 1st Of August
