The second division is for USAW members. This portion obviously conforms to IWF Competition Rules. The totals are official and are used toward qualification for National Competitions as well as yearly rankings on the USAW website. Depending on the number of lifters participating, there are normally four sessions. The First two are for Men and Women with lower posted entry totals and lift earlier in the day, whereas the higher entry totals compete together in afternoon sessions.
There are five warm-up platforms all equipped with Eleiko Barbells and Discs. The barbells used for the actual competition are new Eleiko bars that we only use for this event each year.
It’s always a pleasure to see how many people come from all over the country to lift at this meet. The most unique part is when people register the morning of because they are not sure how they will perform after a typical Vegas night on the town.
