WHAT'S NEW?

For the 4th edition of Lift-it, we will introduce a new division, Bench Press + Deadlift Total challenge, this will give the chance to more Athletes from the Powerlifting community to join and be part of the event.

DIVISIONS:

• Oly Total - Men Open 
• Oly Total - Women Open 

COMPETITION FORMAT:

Oly Total (Men/Women):

Classic Olympic Lifting Competition, Athletes will get three attempts to lift their maximum Snatch and three attempts to lift their maximum Clean & Jerk. Their highest attempt for each lift is combined to determine their total, and the athlete with the highest sinclair total in their division wins.

Weight Classes:

There are no weight classes; we will be using the Sinclair method to determine the winner.

Competition Scoring - The Sinclair Method:

• All athletes will have to weight prior to competition however there are no weight categories.
• We will be using the Sinclair method for scoring.
• Sinclair Total allows us to compare multiple people in different weight classes on the same playing field.
• Sinclair scores are used to compare lifters of different body weights more fairly. The score is obtained by multiplying the lifter's Snatch and Clean & Jerk total by a coefficient which is based on body weight.
• For more details about the Sinclair factor please click HERE

Winners:

• Winners: Athletes final score will be the highest Sinclair total 
• Tie Breaker: In case of a tie, the athlete with the lighter body weight at the time of the weigh-in is usually declared the winner.
