Competition Format

Each competitor is allowed three attempts on each lift. The lifter’s best valid attempt on each lift counts towards his/her competition total. No fourth attempts are permitted for the setting of records. The winner of a category shall be the lifter who achieves the highest total. Lifters failing to achieve a total are eliminated from the competition. If two or more lifters in an identical category achieve the same total, the lighter lifter ranks above the heavier.

Awards

Medals are awarded First through Third Place (1st – 3rd).
