    Cougar Classic

    Register by March 28

    Join University Recreation in our fourth annual power lifting competition: the Cougar Classic.  Show us your max effort on the BIG 3: Bench Press, Back Squat and Deadlift.  This is a raw power lifting meet in which a belt, chalk, and knee sleeves are permitted.  A singlet is not required, but feel free to wear one if you would like.  The competition will be based off relative strength using the Wilks Formula so there will be no weight divisions.  There will be divisions for male and female lifters.  

    Winners for each division (male/female) will earn the right to be titled “Strongest on the Palouse” and will be awarded a trophy.  Second and third place for each division will be awarded a medal.  Finally, the individual with the overall highest Wilks score will be awarded the Cougar Classic Championship Belt!
