Student Experience

 Want to show off your lifting skills? Come join us on Saturday, Nov. 16 at the UAB Campus Recreation Center for the biggest fitness competition of the year! Blazer Lift-Off is a lifting challenge event to test maximum skills in three powerlifting movements. Come for the fun fitness motivation and stay for the chance to win awesome prizes!

Challenges include:

  • Max squat
  • Max deadlift
  • Max bench
  • Max combined (automatically entered in individual max competition)

All maxes will be calculated pound to pound to accommodate weight differences. There will be a male and female division for each challenge. 

The event is free for students, $5 for URec members and $10 for non-members.

Don’t want to participate in the event but still want in on the fun? Email Brianna Lee at fitness@uab.edu for volunteer opportunities.
