Welcome to the Back Yard BBQ Powerlifting Meet!
This is an non-federated full-power competition open to anyone and everyone; no membership required. This is an evening meet hosted by St. Landry Barbell and will start at 5:00pm on Saturday 3/1/2025. Meet type is 3-lift/full-power only and equipment is raw-only. Entry is $45.
The goal of this competition is to have a fun and inexpensive powerlifting meet that is approachable and open to everyone. This meet starts later in the day because lifting heavy first thing in the morning SUCKS, and there will be lots of grillin' and chillin'. All lifters get a free meet shirt. Let's lift heavy and have a good time!
