About this Event
Sleven Weightlifting Autumn Lift Off
Ever wondered what it would feel like to compete? This is your way in.
The Novice category of our competition is a first for people who have never competed before, built for exactly that. No lifting background, no experience on the platform. All welcome.
IF YOU ARE SIGNING UP THROUGH BRITISH WEIGHTLIFTING (FOR COMPETITOR CATEGORY) YOU MUST DO THIS ON SPORT80, NOT HERE.
WHAT TO EXPECT
You'll weigh in on the day, then take three attempts each at the Snatch and the Clean & Jerk. There's no pressure to hit new PBs - focus on hitting consistent lifts and as many good lifts as possible. This is about standing on the platform, and giving it a go in front of people who want you to do well!
HOW SCORING WORKS
There are no weight classes at this comp. Instead, we score using something called Sinclair.
Sinclair takes your total (your best Snatch plus your best Clean & Jerk) and adjusts it for your bodyweight, so a 60kg lifter and a 100kg lifter are compared fairly on the same table. In short: it's not about who lifts the most weight, it's about who lifts the most relative to their size. Whoever posts the highest Sinclair score on the day takes the win.
That means everyone in the room, whatever their weight, is in with a shot.
WHO IT'S FOR
Those who want a first taste of a weightlifting competition. Whether you've been competing in Crossfit and want to try a Weightliting competition or want to try competing in Weightlifting for the time. As long as you know how to do a Snatch and a Clean & Jerk with a coach's sign off, you're ready!
