Come join us at Weights & Plates Strength & Nutrition Center for our 4th Annual USSF Fall Classic (Formerly known as the Starting Strength Fall Classic). Three lifts will be tested during the competition: Squat, Press, and Deadlift. The sum of the heaviest lifts of the three shall constitute the Total.

This meet location is at Weights & Plates Strength & Nutrition Center in Pheonix, AZ and will take place on Saturday, September 21st, 2019.

This is a sanctioned US Strengthlifting Federation (USSF) meet. Results will serve as qualifying totals for the 2019 USSF Nationals. Lifters must be USSF members – register here.

US Strengthlifting Federation Rules

FAQs

Is a singlet required?

Yes. Please carefully read the costume section of the rules (linked above).

Do I have to high (or low) bar squat?

No. The only requirement for bar position is that it can’t be too low (see rules for details).

Can I sumo deadlift?

No.

Can I change my openers?

Yes. The openers collected during registration are used for organizing the session. You may choose a different opener on the day of the event and up to two additional times before the first attempt.

What is a weigh out?

In an effort to discourage weight cutting and more accurately record the lifter’s weight at the time of the lift, bodyweight will be recorded after completion of the final dead lift.

Do spectators have to pay an entrance fee?

No, entrance is free for all spectators.

What is the refund policy?

All sales are final; refunds will not be provided.

The name on the registration/ticket doesn’t match the attendee. Is that okay?

Registration should match the name of the participant. Please contact info@weightsandplates.com if there are extenuating circumstances that make this impossible.
