Welcome to the 2009 USA Powerlifting Raw Collegiate Powerlifting Championships
Schedule Change: ALL COLLEGIATE LIFTERS ARE GOING TO BE WEIGHING IN AT 7 AM ON SUNDAY, LIFTING WILL BEGIN AT 9 AM FOR ALL LIFTERS. THIS SCHEDULE CHANGE WILL ONLY BE FOR COLLEGIATE LIFTERS ON SUNDAY!!!


News:

I've decided based on turnout and depth of competition, that I will be awarding the top 5 lifters instead of the top 3. I am still deciding on the fourth and fifth places awards, but the top 3 medals will be custom 4 inch wide medals.

My name is Steve Mann and I am the owner of PurePowerlifting.com and I am pleased to invite you to the USA Powerlifting Raw Collegiate Powerlifting Championships in Scranton, Pennsylvania. As a lifter and meet director, I believe you will be pleased with the events we host. We are just a few hours drive from Philadelphia and New York City.

Raw lifting, especially at the Collegiate level is the way to go. This event is for teams who believe in the purest part of the sport, where lifters perform the lifts in little to no gear and do it under drug tested standards. Raw lifting in USA Powerlifting, allows lifters to wear knee sleeves, wrist wraps and a weight lifting belt.

If you have gear lifters, they can lift this weekend, we will host geared competition in the PM Session USAPL NE USA Collegiate Regional Powerlifting Championships.

Thanks,
Steve Mann
Meet Director
