About this Event
Cornbelt Classic Lift Off
Presented by Heartland Strength
The Cornbelt Classic Lift Off is a high-energy Olympic weightlifting competition designed for athletes of all levels—whether it’s your first meet or you’re chasing a big total. The event focuses on the two competition lifts: the Snatch and the Clean & Jerk, following a structured, athlete-friendly format.
Competition Format
Each athlete will compete in both lifts:
Snatch
- 3 attempts to establish a 1-rep max
- Must declare opening weight prior to the start of the session
- Weight can increase or stay the same, but cannot decrease after a successful lift
Clean & Jerk
- 3 attempts to establish a 1-rep max
- Same rules apply as the snatch for attempt selection
Your best successful Snatch and best successful Clean & Jerk will be combined to create your Total.
Bonus 4th Attempt Rule
- If an athlete successfully makes all 3 attempts in a lift (Snatch or Clean & Jerk), they earn a 4th attempt in that lift
- The 4th attempt is optional and must be heavier than the previous successful lift
- This is your chance to take a big swing and separate yourself from the field
Scoring & Winners
This is a relative strength competition, meaning strength is measured against body weight.
- Final Score = Total (Snatch + Clean & Jerk) ÷ Body Weight
- Athletes will be ranked based on this calculated score
At the end of the event, we will crown:
- Top Male Lifter
- Top Female Lifter
Weigh-Ins
- Athletes will weigh in prior to the start of the competition
- Body weight recorded at weigh-in will be used to calculate final scores
