Strongest in the Rendezvous Region Competiton
with Trisha McCurdy

We think it sounds like a lot of fun! How's this going to work? We will ADD UP your 1RM lifts for bench press, back squat, and deadlift. Athletes, if you can lift an accumulation of 500lbs, you will win a 500lb club t-shirt. Perhaps you'll even try for 750 lbs? Or maybe you will go crazy and attempt an accumulation 1,500 lbs?  Sounds like fun, right? The bracket options are split up as follows: 500lbs, 650lbs, 750lbs, 850lbs, 1,000lbs, 1,150lbs, 1,300lbs, 1,500lbs. Overall winner will be the one who lifts the most for all 3 lifts.

A $30 entry fee gets you into the competition.

Athletes that successfully follow all the rules will earn a custom t-shirt. T-shirts are only earned by following all rules and movement standards. So be sure to read through all the rules and movement standards. T-shirts will be printed individually for everyone after the competition is completed.

Find your max cumulative total for the following three lifts in this order: 
1 Rep Max Back Squat 
1 Rep Max Bench Press 
1 Rep Max Deadlift

All athletes will find their 1RM back squat before moving on to the bench press. The deadlift will be last. A starting weight will be determined for all athletes, based on what they guess their 1RM will be. We can split this into different groups, based on athletes expected 1RM number. For example, someone who guesses their 1RM bench press is 200-225lbs, will not be in the same group of athletes that guess their 1RM bench press is 125-150lbs.

All athletes will attempt to lift the first weight once. All those who successfully followed the movement standard, will get back in line for the second attempt, which will be heavier. All those who successfully followed the movement standard at the heavier weight, will get back in line for the third attempt, which will be heavier. All remaining athletes can use 2 more attempts to find their 1RM.
