Hello Athletes!

Registration, weigh-ins and equipment checks will be held in Rooms B230-231. Look for signage near the escalator in the B hall. The registration schedule is below.

Only a couple of days left to register your coach and have them purchase the Expo wristband at the discounted price offered to us by event organizers. Coaches will need to buy their own wristband if they miss the deadline. See details below.

Coach Warm-up Room Access

Step 1: Athletes who don't have a coach or handler can skip down to the Venue Location section.

Register the name and contact information for your coach. As a reminder: Raw lifters are allowed up to 1 coach. Equipped lifters are permitted 2 coaches in the warm-up room, with 1 of the coaches in the coach's box.

An active email address is required for each coach/handler.

Coaches must have a current USAPL membership in order to enter the warmup room. No exceptions. This is for liability coverage.

Step 2: Purchase a coach warmup room ticket. Coaches must also have an expo wristband to enter the Expo Hall.

The following applies for all tickets:

• There are 2 ticket options listed for each day. One includes the expo wristband ($38) and one does not ($20). The second option is available for those coaches who need to enter the warmup room for more than one session over the course of the weekend.
• Coaches need a separate warm-up room ticket for each session. For example, your coach is handling 3 lifters in three separate sessions. They buy 3 tickets, one with the expo wristband and 2 without. This applies even if the three sessions are on the same day.
• Coach expo wristbands are valid for all 3 days of the expo.
• Coaches who purchase more than one "expo wristband" ticket will still only receive one wristband, so don't waste your money. This is a requirement of the Arnold Expo staff.
• Coaches who don't purchase the expo wristband ticket through this link will need to buy one at the Arnold.
• This purchase link is for coaches only, no family or friends. Anyone who isn't a coach/handler will be denied a wristband by the Arnold venue staff. There are NO REFUNDS. Again, don't waste your money.
• Deadline to buy the expo wristband tickets is

February 20th, 2024, 5 PM (EST)

• Additional warm-up room tickets will be on sale through the start of the event, but those coaches will need to purchase their own expo ticket through the Arnold website or at the event.

Athletes, you will receive an expo wristband when you check in at registration. Complete the ASF liability waiver information linked in the next section.

Athletes are required to complete the ASF liability waiver in order to pick up your wristband at registration. This is a requirement of the expo organizers. Select "USAPL" from the drop down menu and sign. Minors need a parent/guardian signature as well.

Athlete wristbands are valid for all 3 days of the event.
