What We Do
The Team competes as Deadlift Only. You may register for other divisions but you must register for the deadlift. All registration fees are your responsibility, as are any other expenses, e.g., food, travel, and hotel.

Exceptions to the qualifying standard will be made solely at the discretion of the Team's coordinators. Not sure if you qualify? Ask. The StrongFirst reserves the right to reject any individual's application to be on the Team.
When We Lift
The StrongFirst Deadlift Team will compete at once each Winter and again each Summer (to allow Deadlift Team members to train for the TSC, which is held each Spring and Fall).
Where We Lift
Our tentacles are spreading - resistance is futile! As of this writing, we will participate in three meets: Eastern United States, Western United States, and Far East.
