Bend the knee!

  • Thursday, April 13 at 6 p.m.
  • Sitman Physical Fitness Center, BLDG 6815
  • Competitor Check In and Weigh In from 5 – 5:55 p.m.
  • Competitor Brief at 6 p.m.

The competition will now be as many back squats in 2 1/2 minutes as possible at whatever load you choose. The scores will be calculated by max load moved in the 2 ½ minutes (bar load x successful reps).

We have tested this format out ourselves and there is some strategy involved, meaning the heaviest bar doesn’t always win… For example, if you squat 115lbs 46 times in the 2 ½ minutes, your score is 5,290lbs. If you squat 50lbs for 63 repetitions, your score is 3,150 lbs. If you squat 300lbs 10 times, your score is 3,000 lbs. Competitors should consider that going too light or too heavy won’t always end up at the top of the scoreboard!

Men's Weight Classes:

  • Lightweight: <155.9 lbs
  • Middleweight: 156 to 219.9 lbs
  • Heavyweight: 220+ lbs

Women's Weight Classes:

  • Lightweight: <135.9
  • Middleweight: 136 to 185.9
  • Heavyweight: 186+

Additionally, overall male and female lifters will be awarded by max load moved divided by bodyweight.
