1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:01,960
- Are we ready?

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,080
- Well, the big three
event is powerlifting,

3
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,350
So you have the three
main component lifts,

4
00:00:06,350 --> 00:00:08,363
the bench, the squat, and the deadlift.

5
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:13,020
This kind of gives the
athletes an option to show how

6
00:00:13,020 --> 00:00:16,020
physically adept they are at these lifts.

7
00:00:16,020 --> 00:00:18,180
They get three attempts at each lift,

8
00:00:18,180 --> 00:00:21,050
to do their maximum amount
of weight that they can lift,

9
00:00:21,050 --> 00:00:23,050
then at the end we calculate all that

10
00:00:23,050 --> 00:00:26,090
and we divide it up age
group, and we give out awards

11
00:00:26,090 --> 00:00:28,947
based on the top lifts
for those age groups.

12
00:00:30,556 --> 00:00:31,389
(applause)

13
00:00:31,389 --> 00:00:33,510
- Yeah, stress relief
and just getting power.

14
00:00:33,510 --> 00:00:36,000
I mean, there's something,
like, primal about

15
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:36,833
just picking up a lot of weight.

16
00:00:36,833 --> 00:00:38,333
(claps)

17
00:00:38,333 --> 00:00:40,210
(grunts)

18
00:00:40,210 --> 00:00:41,530
And I just love it.

19
00:00:41,530 --> 00:00:44,530
It hits some kind of nerve in
the back of my head, you know.

20
00:00:45,820 --> 00:00:47,660
- [Zachery] We do a lot
of runs here on Kirtland,

21
00:00:47,660 --> 00:00:49,990
and that's only one aspect
of physical fitness,

22
00:00:49,990 --> 00:00:52,470
you want to have also
muscular strength too,

23
00:00:52,470 --> 00:00:55,330
so this is a great way to
judge how well you're doing

24
00:00:55,330 --> 00:00:56,860
in your muscular strength.

25
00:00:56,860 --> 00:00:59,560
Because you might not come out
here and be the top lifter,

26
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,833
but at least you can come out
here and show what you've got.
