Powerlifting

General Information:

There are 2 teams - men and women.
Each team is broken into 11 weight classes.
Men - up to 114.5 lbs, 123.5 lbs, 132.3 lbs, 148.8 lbs, 165.3 lbs, 181.8 lbs, 198.3 lbs, 220.3 lbs, 275.5 lbs, and over 275.5 lbs.
Women - up to 97.0 lbs, 105.8 lbs, 114.5 lbs, 123.5 lbs, 132.3 lbs, 148.8 lbs, 165.3 lbs, 181.8 lbs, 198.3 lbs, 220.3 lbs, and over 220.3 lbs.
Lifters can compete in higher weight classes but cannot compete in lower weight classes.
Each team can only have 11 lifters with no more than 2 lifters from the same weight class. If we have more qualifying lifters than allowed, competitors will be determined based on performance at practices.
Each lifter will compete by completing three lifts - squat, bench press, and deadlift.
Lifters that have the highest weight total combined over the three lifts will be declared winners.

Practices

Students interested in joining the OCHS Powerlifting Team may choose to join Cajun Prep Powerlifting (cajunpreppowerlifting.com). In this case, students that maintain a 90% practice rate with Cajun Prep will not need to attend school practices and will be considered full members of the OCHS Powerlifting team.

Students that choose not to join Cajun Prep may still join the OCHS Powerlifting Team. These students will be required to maintain 90% practice attendance at school practices which will be immediately after school on Tuesdays and Thursdays until around 4:30 pm.
