Powerlifting 'class'ification

[mauric6943]

Just curious about something. Even though my thing isn't powerlifting, a post on t-mag said something about powerlifting class (class 4, 3, elite, etc). I've looked up where I would fit but not really not sure how the classes fit in at powerlifting competitions. Any info appreciated.

There is a table listing the info about a 1/3rd down the page

For my weight, I only need 65lbs more and I'll be class 4. Woo Hooo!!!!!

Check the aau.org site. The poundages for raw competitors is lower. You may already be elite.

Still wondering how this ties into competition.

It's a ranking.

the AAU website is at:
http://www.aausports.org/index.cfm?publicationID=45

the table with classes is at:
http://www.aausports.org/exec/aau/handbooks/powerlifting/Table_of_Appendices.pdf

At 275 I would only have to total 1714 to be elite in the AAU.. vs I think 1946 for WPA/APA, USPF, IPF.... I do lift raw, and still a little ways off, but a lot closer than 1946

been researching the different feds lately
