RPS Powerlifting at TPS

On November 16, 2019 we are hosting Boston’s Strongest Push-Pull Championships and we’d love you to be here.

We will feature some outstanding lifting, along with highly experienced and qualified judging to give you the best strength spectacle available.

And, it’s all to benefit two worthwhile charities!

The first is Everett Pop Warner.

As you may know, many of my friends run the organization and we have been supporting them for many years, this is no different.

They will be here providing you with great food and snacks to gorge yourself on with all of the revenue going to the organization.

The second is the Claddagh Fund.

 

 

 

This is the Dropkick Murphy’s charitable organization that assists people in our communities in their time of need and recovery.

The Dropkick’s are near and dear to me being a Boston Irish Masshole and their tour manager, Grizz is a good friend. So, as a way to say thank you to him, and all of the DKM’s for providing me with some of the best shows and memories with my son at them, we have decided to give back to their charity.

The legal stuff: I have to say a portion of the proceeds goes to the Claddagh Fund because we have expenses for the event to offset, such as shirts, trophies, and more. But, we will give them as much as we can!

With that in mind, please come by the gym on the 16^th and pay the spectator fee or make a donation to help us with the donation.

Service for members at the gym will be interrupted the day of the meet as we simply cannot run a meet and have the gym open to training that day.

We will open the gym as soon as the event is over. I’ll have hours on this posted soon.

We also are looking for about 10 volunteers to spot, load and help moving equipment that day, so if you have a few hours to help out and give back not only to the Powerlifting community you are a part of, but also to two worthwhile and needy charities, please reply back.

Lifting begins at 9:00 a.m.

I’d also like to thank our sponsors for helping us with the event.

They have provided us with items to raffle of and more.

They are:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bono Inc.

Pro Auto and Truck

If you’d like to sponsor, please let me know. Every little bit helps.

 

Thanks in advance!

2016 Strongman Events Classes Rules

 

Event Description/Rules:

 

1. Giant Dumbbell for Reps. Athlete will choose either dumbbell to press for 60 sec. Any number of reps with the heavy dumbbell will beat any number of reps with the lighter dumbbell.  If an athlete chooses to press the heavier bell but is unable to get any reps with it they will NOT be allowed to press the light dumbbell, so choose carefully.  Wrist wraps, elbow sleeves, knee sleeves, belt, and chalk are allowed.
   Example Scoring:
   1. 1^st Place- 5 reps @210#
   2. 2^nd Place- 3 reps @210#
   3. 3^rd Place-1 rep @210#
   4. 4^th Place- 8 reps @180#
   5. 5^th Place- 6 reps @180#
   6. 6^th Place- 4 reps @180#
   7. 7^th Place- 0 reps
2. Deadlift for Reps (from the floor)- Athlete will choose either weight on the deadlift. It will run the same as the Giant Dumbbell.  Athlete will have 60 sec. to complete as many reps as possible.  Again if the athlete chooses to lift the heavier weight and is unable to do so they will NOT be permitted to try the lighter weight.  Athletes will be given UP and DOWN commands, no touch and go reps. We will be testing different bars to be used in the competition, but train for now as if it’s a stiff bar.  Wrist straps, elbow sleeves, knee sleeves, belt, and chalk allowed.  No deadlift suits or briefs will be allowed.
3. Husafell Stone (for max distance)- Athlete will be given 30 seconds to lift the Husafell Stone off of the ground, they will then carry it as far as possible with turns at 50ft.  After the initial time frame to pick it up the event will be untimed.  When making the turns athlete must have one foot cross the line before they are allowed to continue down the course.  Distance will be measured from the part of the stone closest to the line behind them.
4. Progressive Farmers Walk (50ft. each way)- Athlete will pick up first farmers walk implement and carry it 50ft. (bringing the whole implement through the line) they will then proceed to the second implement and carry that back 50ft. time will stop when the entire implement crosses the line. No drops will be allowed on the FIRST implement, however MULTIPLE drops will be allowed on the SECOND IMPLEMENT ONLY.  Belt, chalk, knee sleeves, and elbow sleeves are allowed.  Wrist straps and tacky (I can’t believe I have to write this) will not be allowed.  Athlete will have 60 sec. to complete the course, if they drop the first implement or run out of time they will measured for the total distance covered.
5. Atlas Stones- Athlete will have 60 sec. to lift all five atlas stones to a platform. Platform height is yet to be determined but will be no less than 48” and no more than 54”.  Stones must be lifted from lightest to heaviest.  If the athlete is unable to complete all five stones in the allotted time, they will be given credit for the number of stones lifted successfully.  Elbow sleeves, Knees Sleeves, Stone Sleeves, Belt, and Tacky allowed.

On October 8^th and 9^th 2016, TPS is teaming up with RPS as usual to bring you the best in Powerlifting.

We are hosting the 20^th annual RPS Power Challenge at the Jackson Street Hall in Malden. This is just a few hundred yards from TPS in the Jackson Street Parking Garage near Malden Station.

We will be switching charities this year as well. Since TPS always wants to support our community, we are donating a portion of the proceeds to the Malden Emergency Center.

The Malden Emergency Center is Metro Boston’s only non-profit, private rescue organization. They respond to multi-alarm incidents in the Boston area with municipal fire and police departments and provide multiple types of emergency services at no cost to the tax payers.

We feel this is a very worthwhile organization to assist and we hope you do too.

Registration for the meet will open soon at http://www.revolutionpowerlifting.com/
