Stronger Together 2024: A Partners Strength Meet

When?

Sunday, December 8, 2024

Where?

Fivex3 Training, 4015 Foster Avenue, Suite 200, Baltimore, MD 21224

What?

Stronger Together is a Strength Meet displaying the strength of two lifters working together to form one total. Rather than competing individually, Stronger Together will require competitors to form a team of 2 and complete all 4 lifts as outlined in Starting Strength; The Deadlift, Squat, Bench and Press. Teams can be Male/Male, Male/Female or Female/Female.

Each lifter in the team must perform one upper body and one lower body lift. Every lifter will receive 3 attempts at each of the 2 lifts they complete. The top successful attempt will count towards each teams total. Totals will be the combination of both lifters Wilks score in a team.

Teams will choose which division they will compete in based on the members in their team. Teams will have the option to lift in the Open (18-40 years of age) division or Masters (40+) division. If one team member is over 40 and one team member is under 40, that team must compete in the Open division. Teams in the Masters Division will have their scores calculated by Wilks and age points (McCulloch formula). There will NOT be weight classes for this meet but there WILL be weigh-outs. No singlets, No commands, No Sumo, tons of fun. 

The three Divisions in Stronger Together are:

Male/Male

Male/Female

Female/Female

This will also be broken into (if applicable):

Male/Male (Open)

Male/Female (Open)

Female/Female (Open)

Male/Male (Masters)

Male/Female (Masters)

Female/Female (Masters)
