Join us on Friday, 11/21/25, for an evening of heavy bench presses at the annual Testify Bench Press Jubilee!
About this Event

The annual Testify Bench Press Jubilee is a strength meet wherein the only contested lift is - you guessed it - the bench press. There are no weight classes for this meet, but there is a weigh-in for each lifter, and lifters can weigh-in during one of the following periods (rack heights will also be recorded at this time):

  • Thursday, 11/20/25, from 4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
  • Friday, 11/21/25, from 5:00 a.m. - 9:30 a.m.
  • Friday, 11/21/25, from 4:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

There will be one bar, and the meet will be conducted in a "rising bar" format, so the weight on the bar only goes up! A lifter gets three attempts and can attempt any of the predetermined loads (see below) as the weight on the bar continues to climb throughout the evening (but a lifter can only attempt a given weight once). As part of the three attempts, the lifter may also attempt a weight of his choice (this weight must be a multiple of 2.5 lb). A lifter stops lifting voluntarily or after three attempts.

Loads

45, 55, 65, 75, 85, 95, 105, 115, 125,

135, 145, 155, 165, 175, 185, 195, 205, 215,

225, 240, 255, . . . (weight on bar increases in 15 lb increments after 225 lb)

There will be awards in both male and female divisions for heaviest weight lifted, best Wilks score (all ages), and best Wilks-McCulloch (masters) score.

A complete treatment of the movement standards for the bench press can be found in the book Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training, 3rd edition.

Registration runs until 11/20/25, and there are regular and late registration rates. Regular registration includes a baseball cap, so register soon!

FAQs

Are singlets required?

Nope.

Is this event run like a typical strengthlifting or powerlifting meet?

Heck no. If you're looking for a rigid and formal meet structure, this ain't it, folks. Music will be playing, costumes are encouraged, and the judges may be eating and drinking while performing their duties.

What's the refund policy?

All sales are final; refunds will not be provided.

Is it OK if the name on my ticket or registration doesn't match the person who attends and competes?

Registration should match the name of the participant. Please contact [email protected] if there are extenuating circumstances that make this impossible.
