Description: 2XL Owner and Director of Training Eric Stone (CSCS) and his wife Jackie Stone, will cover everything an aspiring or beginning powerlifter needs to know to compete in a sanctioned powerlifting competition. Eric and Jackie have a combined 30+ years of competitive powerlifting experience, and both are WPC International Referees. Eric is the APF Illinois State Chairman, and has directed over 50 powerlifting meets over 15 years. Jackie had co-directed many of those powerlifting meets with Eric, and competed in over 20 meets over the past 15 years. They will cover both the technique and strategy of a competing in a powerlifting meet as well as the logisitics and rules of a sanctioned contest.
They will start by explaining day-of logsitics of a powerlifting meet, including weigh-ins, scheduling of flights, warm-ups, attempt selection and the flow of a typical meet. The rules, commands, and technique of the squat, bench and deadlift will be explained in a straight forward fashion.
From there, each participant will warm-up and go through how to work some of the competition equipment, like the monolift squat rack. Then each lifter will take (2) “practice” attempts on each lift in a more informal environment than a larger, faster-paced sanctioned competition. The computerized socring system will be to utilized through these practice attempts to give the participants a sense of the flow and order of a sanctioned meet. All three being referees and coaches, they will give feedback to the lifters on the both on following the rules through the lifts as well as technique/form of each lift.
The lifting will take place on 2XL’s competition quality equipment used in many area APF meets (monolift squat racks, competition benches, competition bars, calibrated kilogram plates). Thus, lifters will have a chance to practice on some of the equipment they may not usually have access.
Cost & Cap: $80 registration fee; event is limited to the first 15 registered participants. The cost is $150 to double enter both the Women’s Intro event as well as the 2/16 Women’s EmPOWERment Meet.
