About the event + Schedule

What is LIFT

LIFT is a game created by the coaches at Mach 1 Barbell in a backyard, at a birthday party, with nothing but a barbell and two 45lb plates. The game is easy to learn, if you've ever played the popular basketball game, "HORSE." It's the same rules, but with weightlifting instead of shooting hoops!

Why are we hosting this event?

Every year, president of MA22, Dennis Addesso, hosted an event called Operation: Ruck It. This is a rucking event to fundraise for his charity organization, MA22 (Ma-Deuce-Deuce). This organization uses its proceeds to help provide out of the house experiences for veterans in need, specifically ones struggling with PTSD. The proceeds from LIFT go directly to MA22 to carry out their mission! They are able to help hundreds, even thousands, of veterans and families with veterans who are struggling.

What are the rules?

For those who have never played, let's go over the rules: 3-4 people play at a time, and one person is chosen to start the round. They perform any combination of weightlifting movements while utlitizing a barbell. The person desingating the movements needs to "call" what they are going to attempt to do before doing it. If successful, the other players have to mimic the "call" exactly as described and performed. If the other players forget or fail a movement in the series, they earn a letter of "L.I.F.T." If the player designating the series misses their own "call," the turn is forfeited and the next player has the opportunity to make their own "call." The game is played until their is one player remaining who hasn't earned all 4 letters of LIFT. 

That's it! 

No additional weight will be put on the bar. This isn't about how much you can lift, but how proficient and crafty you are! 

There will be a Men's and Women's category, and within these two will be two different preselected weights to choose from. We encourage you to pick something you are comfortable performing just about any exercise with. For example, if you're a woman whose max Snatch is 103lbs, we would not recommend playing in the 93lb bar category; instead register on the 63lb bar - you will be less likely to get hurt and more likely to have fun!!

If you win a preliminary round you will earn a chance to compete in a semi-final round with others in your category; furthermore, there will be a FINALS round to determine the true champion of LIFT!
