2021-03-20 09:00 - 11:00
Join us for a Self-defense seminar this March. The class will be free to the public, but you will need to register to save your spot in the class. In this class, you will learn how to defend yourself from a number of attack scenarios. Along with specific techniques, we will also cover self-defense concepts and principles to help keep you safe in any situation.
This class can be attended alone or you can invite a friend or family member to join you so you have someone to practice the techniques with. Please wear comfortable workout clothing for the event. While the focus will not be on fitness, there will be some drills that will make you move around so a water bottle and towel.

In-House Powerlifting Meet
2021-02-20 10:00 - 15:00
Enroll Now
Saturday, February 20, will be a casual meet at Foundry just to try to hit a few PR’s and get used to what a meet feels like. It will be casual, but we will make every effort to make it as close to a competitive meet as possible.
Schedule:
10:00 AM – Weigh-in
10:30 AM – Lifting begins
Order:

Squat
Bench Press
Deadlift
There will be a brief break between lifts.
General Notes:

If you are going to wear a belt, make it a good one. Velcro is not allowed.
You will need knee-high socks for the deadlift.
I’m not going to worry about knee sleeves or wraps (feel free to wear them if you’d like).
But we will not be allowing squat suits or bench press shirts.
A t-shirt (not a tank) is required for the squat and bench press for men and for all three lifts for women (try to find an old cotton one that grabs; nothing slippery).
For a typical competition you will compete in a singlet. But I’m not going to ask you to buy one (yet) if you don’t have one. Please just wear tight fitting clothes. That will make lifting and judging easier.
You’ll need to give me your “openers” (in kilos; start thinking in kilos!) – your first lift in each of the three – after you weigh in. Make your opener a lift that you know you can hit. A good suggestion is a weight that you can consistently double – at depth!
Have all 9 “best-case-scenario” lifts in mind. If you miss, no big deal; we will adjust.
If we have less than 15 lifters, we will have one “flight”. More than 15 and I will break it up. Count on no more than 15 minutes between lifts (first to second attempt, etc.). Usually, each lifter takes about 1 minute.
In a standard meet format, you will have 1 minute max from the time the bar is loaded to lift (or get the judge’s command). We will stick with that.
And you have 1 minute to give the judges your next attempt after you lift.
Don’t worry. We will have a brief “rules” meeting before we start, but for now please practice bench pressing with a slight pause at the chest (momentary, brief stoppage of the bar).

We will use this scoring system for Best Lifters, but again your goal is to hit PRs!

What Is Powerlifting?

Powerlifting is a strength sport that consists of three attempts at maximal weight on three lifts: squat, bench press, and deadlift. As in the sport of Olympic weightlifting, it involves the athlete attempting a maximal weight single lift of a barbell loaded with weight plates. Powerlifting evolved from a sport known as “odd lifts”, which followed the same three-attempt format but used a wider variety of events, akin to strongman competition. Eventually odd lifts became standardized to the current three.
In competition, lifts may be performed equipped or un-equipped (typically referred to as ‘classic’ or ‘raw’ lifting in the IPF specifically). Equipment in this context refers to a supportive bench shirt or squat/deadlift suit or briefs. In some federations, knee wraps are permitted in the equipped but not un-equipped division; in others, they may be used in both equipped and un-equipped lifting. Weight belts, knee sleeves, wrist wraps and special footwear may also be used, but are not considered when distinguishing equipped from un-equipped lifting.
Competitions take place across the world. Powerlifting has been a Paralympic sport (bench press only) since 1984 and, under the IPF, is also a World Games sport. Local, national and international competitions have also been sanctioned by other federations operating independently of the IPF.
