Grinder Push Pull Invitational

What is a Push/ Pull?

The sport of Powerlifting is comprised of three standard lifts — these exercise are the barbell back squat, barbell bench press, and the barbell deadlift. The use of all three lifts in a competition is traditional for Powerlifting. However, the sport has evolved to allow for a bench only, a deadlift only, and a push/pull competition, referring to the bench and deadlift being performed without the squat. In a push/ pull powerlifting competition the highest successful bench and deadlift are added together for your total. Competitors are competing for the largest total in each weight class. At Grinder Gym we hold all sorts of competitions. Some of the powerlifting competitions will be limited to one or more categories or include bench only, deadlift only, push/pull and a full meet.

What is an Invitational?

Powerlifting competitions are either open or invitational meets. An open event is a competition that anyone who wishes to enter the competition can pay a competitors fee and have an opportunity to compete. Some open events still require a qualifier if the event is a regional, national, or international event. An invitational event is a competition that requires an invitation to participate. Invitational events are held to limit the competitors to one or more specific club organizations or to bring specific athletes in to compete with each other. A professional invitational will offer prize money and prize packages to attract elite level competition. At Grinder Gym we offer invitational events for our members that are free for them to participate. This is our way of both showing our appreciation to them as members of our facility and to help spark interest in competition.
