Warm-up Room Access
Coach's will present their warm-up room pass to the Warm-up Room Monitor upon first entry to the warm-up room. The pass will be scanned and you will receive a hand stamp that will permit you to come and go through that session only.


Registered Teams will have two team badges that will grant you access to the warm-up session your team is lifting in.

If you have pre-purchased a coach's pass and are unable to attend, the pass is transferable. You can simply forward the email that contains your pass to the new coach.
Warm-up Room Access Times
The warm-up room will be available:

Session 1 - Doors open at 7am
Session 2-3 - Access will be 45 minutes prior to the start of the session.

With full days of lifting, times between sessions are very close. When your lifter has finished lifting, please have them gather all their items, unload the weights on the bar and exit the warm-up room to make room for the incoming session.

Make sure the athlete sticks around for both drug testing and awards. We will do awards immediately after each session ends. Podium placing is 1-5, but all athletes will receive participation medals for placings beyond 5.
Equipment Check & Weigh-in Room
Only one [1] coach may accompany the athlete through equipment check & weigh-ins due to space limitations in the rooms.
