TLZ001

We are excited to announce our first Lifting Zone Virtual Weightlifting Competition, “TLZ 001”. Athletes will have 3 attempts at a 1rm Snatch followed by 3 attempts at 1rm Clean And Jerk

All athletes will have to submit a video of their attempt for judging via our custom time stamped video on the WeTime app.

We will be taking gender and weight into account, and using a secret formula, we will be able to select the strongest pound for pound lifter over the competition. 

Check out the Workout details and event rules below:

How it works:

Weigh in can be done at home the morning of competition but will need to be a time stamped video uploaded to WetTime app. Athletes are required to weigh in on camera and clearly show this on camera.The weigh in does not need to be in lifters of knee sleeves etc. These can be put on post weigh in.

Athletes will have 1hr to complete the competition.

Athletes must use WeTime to record their videos as we will be using the timestamp connected to the video to verify both videos were recorded within the 60min time frame.

The Competition will be split into 2 parts recorded over 2 separate videos. Note, Both videos have to be recorded within a 60min time frame (we will be able to verify this using the timestamp on your WeTime video). Athletes are required to weigh in on camera and clearly show this on camera.The weigh in does not need to be in lifters of knee sleeves etc. These can be put on post weigh in.

1) Snatch. Athletes will have a 10min time cap to complete 3 attempts at a Snatch, Warm up lifts can be done prior to starting the video timer. Once weight is loaded athletes must announce their weight attempt to the camera. Misses will count as attempts, only 3 attempts allowed within the 10min time frame. The athlete cannot lower the weight of the bar after an attempt. 

2) Clean and Jerk. The video timer for the clean and jerk must be started within 50mins of starting the snatch video timer. Giving you a total of 60mins to complete both lifts. We can verify this with the time stamp that is automatically attached to your WeTime video. Athletes will have a 10min time cap to complete 3 attempts at a Clean and Jerk, Warm up lifts can be done prior to starting the video timer. Once weight is loaded athletes must announce their weight attempt to the camera. Misses will count as attempts, only 3 attempts allowed within the 10min time frame. The athlete cannot lower the weight of the bar after an attempt.

Our goal is to make weightlifting comps a little more fun,

Press out IS allowed in the jerk.

You can wear whatever you like! No requirements for outfits or singlets!

All plates must be stripped from the barbell after the final successful attempt for weight verification before the recording stops. Note this can still be done after the 10 min timer stops. (see WeTime run through in discord for example on this)

Workout can start with a loaded barbell, but weight must be stripped at the end of the video.

Athletes must state the weight of their attempt to the camera before attempting a lift. This will be done for both Snatch and Clean and Jerk.

Athletes must use clips for all attempts.

If using LBS please convert your score to KG and round up to the nearest KG

Athletes must change their own weights.

You may only use one bar for all lifts. 

Athletes must include a time stamped video showing each individual weight and clip or collar on one side of the barbell so that the correct weight can be confirmed by the judging panel.
