NCR CAF Powerlifting Competition

We're excited to announce our first-ever CAF Powerlifting Competition in the NCR to be held on Thursday, October 24, 2024 at the NDHQ-Carling Campus. As part of the CAF Sports Day celebrations in the region, this event is bound to bring excitement, strength and good sportsmanship.

Powerlifting meet will incorporate 3 different lifts: back squat, bench press, and deadlift.

Schedule

• Athlete Weigh ins – 0730 
• Competition starts – 0900
• Competition finishes – 1400

Divsions/Weightclasses

MEN

• Lightweight Class: up to 74.0 kg
• Middleweight Class: from 74.01 kg up to 105.0 kg
• Heavyweight Class: from 105.01 kg up to unlimited

WOMEN

• Lightweight Class: up to 57.0 kg
• Middleweight: from 57.01 kg up to 76.0 kg
• Heavyweight Class: from 76.01 kg up to unlimited

Technical Considerations

• Athletes will have three attempts at each lift.
• After a successful lift, athletes will increase the weight for their next attempt.
• If an athlete receives a “No Lift,” they can either retry the same weight or choose to go up in weight.
• Weight cannot be decreased once attempted.
• The athlete’s score will be the sum of their best lifts from all three categories. Strive for excellence in each lift to maximize your total!
• To post a total, athletes must successfully complete one lift of each type. Failure to do so will result in disqualification.

Registration

Registration will take place at http://psp.mil.ca from a DWAN computer starting August 15.

Meet Clinic

To prepare participants for the competition, Capt. Gary Lacoursiere and our PSP fitness instructors will offer a Meet Clinic during the first week of September at the NDHQ Carling Campus. Participants will go through a quick warm-up, receive some instructions and tips and do a few trials under supervision.
