2024 APF Beginners Meet

Description  (scroll down for online registration instructions)

–

This event is part seminar, and part sanctioned powerlifting meet.  It is designed for a new lifter to powerlifting whom has not competed in a meet, or has only competed in 1-2 meets prior.  Team Stone powerlifters will cover everything an aspiring or beginning powerlifter needs to know to compete in a sanctioned powerlifting competition. Team Stone includes world-champion powerlifters as well as APF sanctioned powerlifting referees to cover both the technique and strategy of  competing in a powerlifting meet as well as the logisitics and rules of a sanctioned contest.

  –

Staff 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 a monolift.  Then, being a sanctioned event, each lifter will take (3) official attempts on each lift, but in a more informal environment than a larger, faster-paced competition.  APF-certified referees will give feedback to the lifters both on following the rules through the lifts as well as technique/form of each lift.  The lifting will take place on competition quality equipment used in many area APF meets (monolift squat racks, competition benches, competition bars).

  –

 Event will run from 8:00 a.m. to approximately 5:00 p.m.

   –

This event will be fully sanctioned by the American Powerlifting Federation (APF). All lifters will need to become APF members, and must have a one-peice lifting suit for all lifts.  Lifters can buy their APF membership prior to weigh-ins at the following link:
