Lifts must be done in an intramural meet, against another school or in an ofÏcially sanctioned meet. Athletes must have a 2.0 minimum GPA and be a member ofa high school team sport. Results must be verified by an ofÏcial coach or school administrator.

HAVE SOME FUN GET RANKED AND LIFT IN A MEET Olympic lifting really isn’t all that hard. You do two lifts: The Snatch and the Clean and Jerk. With our new BFS Training Plates, learning the technique is quite easy. You can then progress to Rubber Bumper Plates. If you need some help learning about these two lifts, get our video. Hold an Intramural meet or challenge an another school(s). If anyone qualifies for our record board, let us know. Another option is to go to a sanctioned meet. When you do that, athletes can easily get nationally ranked. For example, to be ranked in the top ten in the nation for a 15-year old in the 132 Ib. class just Snatch 110 pounds and Clean and Jerk 160 pounds.

If you’re in the 198 lb. class, all you need to be ranked 5th in the nation are lifts of 155 and 175 pounds! If you’d like to sanction your own meet, write the U.S. Weightlifting Federation, 1750 E.
