The Power to the People Deadlift Team was inspired by Pavel Tsatsouline’s best selling book (Power to the People!) We are a group of lifters who compete in the raw deadlift (or full powerlifting meet) at sanctioned powerlifting events once a year around the country. Anyone can compete on the team as long as they qualify. Men over 200 lbs. must pull a 500 lb. deadlift or a 2.5 x bodyweight deadlift if under 200 lbs. Women must pull 1.5 x bodyweight.

The lifts to qualify for the team must be made in either a TSC event http://www.tacticalstrengthchallenge.com/ or a sanctioned powerlifting event
(preferably AAU) please visit www.AAUpowerlifting.com for events in your area.

The Power to the People Deadlift team will be competing again this year in October 2007 in the AAU World’s event held in Walt Disney World Florida. The team captains for meet are Thomas Phillips www.ThomasPhillipsFitness.com and Brett Jones breakingstrength@yahoo.com. Please contact either captain if you are interested in becoming a part of the team.
