The fingals and power stairs are in the process of being built. Once they are complete (within 2 weeks) I will have their weights listed.
Wessels rules- Athlete calls their opener at the time of weigh-in. After each successful lift, before they step off the platform they must call their next weight. They cannot change that weight once they have announced it and stepped of the platform. If they miss a weight, they are out. 3 attempts only. If there is a tie the tie breaker goes to the first successful person to lift that weight. So athlete A hits 300lbs and athlete B hits 275lbs. Then athlete A misses their second attempt and athlete B gets their 2nd attempt at 300lbs but misses their 3rd attempt at 305lbs. that means athlete A takes the tie even though they only completed one successful lift.
