Squat Standards: 

1. Begin in a lockout position
2. You must lower to parallel at the bottom of your squat.
3. Reach full lockout of both your hips and knees at the top.

Video Standards: 

If you believe yourself to be in the top, a video submission will be required. If you do not believe yourself to be near the top of your division, a video submission is not required, but suggested. 

1. Record your squat attempts directly from the side (as show in the demo video) so we are able to assess your squat depth. 
2. You must say your Full Name, Date, and the Lift Password (only found on the scorecard) in your video!!!

Submission Standards:

The only thing you need to submit is your score & video of your top attempt only.

You may take as many warmup sets and heavy lift attempts as you need. You do not need to submit top 3 attempts (like a traditional powerlifting meet would require), HOWEVER...

• We recommend you record all your heavier attempts
• You'll only need to submit your top made lift, but in the case you miss it, you'll want your previously made recorded to submit if needed!
• Keep a scale nearby to prove your weight (which will not be shared publicly but will be used to confirm your score)
