About this Event
In 2020 Coach John was diagnosed with Stage 3 Melanoma. After undergoing surgery and immunotherapy for the past 6 months, he unfortunately was diagnosed with Metastatic Melanoma in his lymph nodes. This will require more surgery and aggressive immunotherapy treatment. During his treatment this past year he has continued to coach and lead the Tough Temple team. But this new diagnosis means he will need to take a step back and be less involved in the day to day.
We want to help and we're sure you want to as well! That's why this year's Tough Temple Supertotal will be a fundraiser to help with John's medical bills and loss of income from personal training during this challenging time. In addition to our in-house competition, we will also be offering an online option to allow our friends from all over the world to join in!
The heaviest lift completed in each category will be added together to form your SUPER TOTAL. Top 3 men and women in each division will be decided based on Sinclair Meltzer Faber formula.
In house competition registrants will automatically receive a 2021 Tough Temple Supertotal shirt. Online athletes (and anyone else who wants an awesome shirt) can order one for $25 + shipping.
WOMEN WILL LIFT SATURDAY 4/17
MEN WILL LIFT SUNDAY 4/18
Lifting heats will begin at 10am, 12pm, 2pm, and 4pm. We will fill up heats starting with earlier times first. As registrations fill up, we will expand into the later heats if needed. Heats will be arranged to have the most fun and competitive session possible based on entry totals.
Meet Structure:This meet is meant to be competitive and fun, with a more relaxed structure than official weightlifting/powerlifting meets. Each athlete will be paired with a judge, with judges being rotated between the lifts. This ensures a higher degree of impartiality. Due to COVID restrictions, judges will be responsible for two in house athletes during the lifting period. Online registrants will have their timestamped videos reviewed by judges for approval.
Each lift session (Snatch, C&J, Back Squat, Bench Press, Deadlift) will be provided a warm up period, after which time a 10 minute competition clock will begin! Athletes are allowed to take as many attempts of the given lift during the 10 minute competition as they'd like, with the highest load lifted counting towards their SUPER TOTAL.
Due to the high amount of lifts being contested, strict adherance to the clocks will be enforced.
