Please be honest about which category you should be in (no trophy hunters!) If we believe you have unfairly placed yourself in a category we will ask you to move up, compete as a guest lifter or to withdraw from the competition. Please be fair to your other competitors. if you wish to compete in a category that you don't "fit" into (i.e. beginner men wanting the weights of cat A/B, women wanting the challenge of C/D, please put yourself down as a guest lifter)
