The Power to the People Deadlift Team was inspired by Pavel Tsatsouline’s best selling book (Power to the People!) We are a group of lifters who compete in the raw deadlift (or full powerlifting meet) at sanctioned powerlifting events once a year around the country. Anyone can compete on the team as long as they qualify. Men over 200 lbs. must pull a 500 lb. deadlift or a 2.5 x bodyweight deadlift if under 200 lbs. Women must pull 1.5 x bodyweight. The lifts to qualify for the team must be made in either a TSC event www.the-tsc.com or at a
sanctioned powerlifting event (preferably AAU) please visit www.AAUpowerlifting.com for events in you area.
The Power to the People Deadlift team will be competing again this year on October 22-25 in Richmond VA. There will also be a meet for those who live on the west coast in Las Vegas NV on December 15-17th. The team captain for the Richmond VA meet is Thomas Phillips www.ThomasPhillipsFitness.com and the team captain for the NV meet is Brett Jones breakingstrength@yahoo.com. Please contact either captain if you are interested in becoming a part of the team.
