LIABILITY WAIVER

BE PREPARED. LEARN THE RULES.

READ THE RULEBOOK.

Don't forget your absolute necessities. You need a singlet, t-shirt, and knee high socks for deadlift. You may also use wrist wraps, a belt, and knee sleeves. Respond to this email if you have any questions about your equipment... AFTER you consult the rulebook. Your equipment DOES NOT have to be on the IPF approved list unless you are competing in the Equipped division. Your equipment MUST however, fit the specifications in the rulebook.

This may be your very first time stepping on a USA Powerlifting platform. Even if it is not, you need to be prepared. If you think you know all of the USA Powerlifting rules... you don't. As an athlete, it is your responsibility to learn the technical rules of competition and ensure that your equipment is approved. This also includes following anti-doping/drug testing guidelines. Rules & By-Laws and Drug Testing information can be accessed at usapowerlifting.com.

We drug test 10% of our athletes by urinalysis. If you need to leave early or you need to skip the award ceremony, please do not do so without checking in with myself (Gina Hensley).

It is also a great idea to stay hydrated (hint!) so we can start the award ceremony as soon as possible!

HEY.

Did you skip over that last section?

We know. It's a lot of words. But please go back and read it. You still have over a week to do so!
