Leave it on the platform, one last time ✊
Our novice competitions were born out of a desire to remove the barriers to entry to the sport we love by offering a safe and inclusive environment for all lifters. Since 2014 over 2000 lifters have stepped onto our platform, many for the first time.
There are no federation affiliations, special outfits, or prior experience necessary to compete. If you can perform a squat, bench press, and deadlift with a barbell you’re ready for your first competition.
