Deadlift for Dogs 2025
Deadlift for Dogs is a brand new event at the Life of Strength! This will be a deadlift ONLY powerlifting meet that benefits a local animal shelter. The meet will be non-sanctioned to open registration to competitors of all federations, ages, and level of experience.
Deadlift for Dogs will be held on Saturday, August 30th at the Life of Strength, on our competition platform outside. The meet will be moved inside in the event of rain.
Competition Format
The meet will be held in an “auction style. ” Auction style means that a weight will be added onto the bar, and lifters can jump in at whatever weight they would like.
Lifters are given three attempts and can take their attempts at any point. Because there will be no true flight order, lifters can choose to jump in at any weight they are comfortable with, but we recommend spacing out attempts in order to have recovery time.
To ensure the flow of the meet, weight will only be added to the bar. At no point will weight be taken off the bar.
