The J.R Holder Wellness center is holding a powerlifting competition on October 3 for all participating men and October 4 for women.
The participants will be separated by weight classes to keep the competition fair and competitive amongst all athletes; each participant must weigh in with a wellness staff member sometime between September 29 and October 1.
Registration will cost participants $15 and must be completed by September 28; however, registration includes a participation T-shirt.
The powerlifting competition itself will be decided by the three power weight lifting moves: the bench press, barbell squat, and barbell deadlift; all participants will be given three attempts to lift as much weight as they can in all three classic movements.
