Warm-Up Area & Meet Media
This is a one-platform competition with three designated warm-up areas.
Per the USAPL Rulebook:
"Access to the warm-up area and the coaching area at all USA Powerlifting sanctioned Regional and National events is restricted to current USA Powerlifting members in good standing. This applies to athletes, officials, referees, and coaches."
A USAPL official will be stationed at the entrance to the warm-up area to verify credentials and monitor access.
Each lifter may have up to two (2) coaches/handlers in the warm-up area.
All coaches and handlers must:
- Purchase a spectator pass for their session (admission information will be sent in a separate email).
- Check in at the registration table prior to each session.
- Present a valid 2026 USAPL membership and a government-issued photo ID.
- Wear the assigned color-coded wristband at all times while in restricted areas.
No exceptions will be made.

- Professional cameras and video cameras are not permitted inside the competition venue without prior approval from the Meet Director and USAPL.
- Professional cameras and video cameras are strictly prohibited in the warm-up area under all circumstances.
