We are happy to announce the start of a new way to compete in the Maritimes.
The Colosseo Weightlifting Lift-Off.
Designed with lifters of all experience levels in mind the Lift-Off will offer something for every athlete from their first attempt on a competition stage to refining your taper for a major competition.
An in person event featuring an online scoreboard which tracks every performance across all Lift-Off events will allow you to track progress and see where you stack up against fellow barbell athletes .
Lift-Off events are run similar to regular Weightlifting events with a few small twists.
- 1:00 weigh in's to discourage athletes cutting for events, show up lift and have fun.
- No Press-outs. Any barbell held overhead under control that is returned to the floor after a down signal will be awarded a good lift.
- Scores will be determined using the Sinclair Coefficient to determine final ranking and placement.
- Non sanctioned Events, although you will not be able to use your total to qualify for other Weightlifting events or set provincial / national records you will not need to have an active provincial weightlifting membership in order to register.
Registrations close on April 17th or when 60 athletes have registered.
Prize pools continue to grow as more lifters join in on the fun.
For more information on the prizes, rules, scoring and to register for the Lift-Off please follow the links to our website and sign up for a free account to get started.
