Meet Director:  Sanjiv Gupta (sanjiv_gupta@hotmail.com or 720-938-2029)

Award:  Winning club will receive a plaque.

I would love to have everybody converge in Denver for some lifting but given that we are the furthest west club in the country, it may be appropriate to make a concession.  All four lifts are classics that have been contested during the club championships at least once.  They are easy to set-up and officiate.  Official scoring will be used and the top 3 lifters from each club will be summed to determine the championship.

If a club enters with only 2 athletes, a score of 80% of the second highest athlete will be added to create a total.

If a club enters with only 1 athlete, a score of 80% of the athlete and 60% of the athlete will be added to create a total.

Thanks to Ambridge Barbell Club and Ledaig Heavy Athletics for hosting this championship from 2010-2019.  Hopefully 2025 will bring some pride and excitement to being the strongest All-Round club in the United States.
