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 Ne w 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
