We have posted a calculator that allows coaches and interested fans to do “What If” analysis on the current top 6 women and top 7 men in the USA.
We used the current USAW ranking method to build a simple calculator… if you use this to input both new Snatch lifts and Clean and Jerk lifts, you can see how the ranking changes.
Coaches of these athletes may use this kind of tool to adjust competition lifts at the American Open next week and as time progresses, this tool will be updated and hopefully useful for coaches and fans at the Olympic Trials.
Happy Calculating!
PS: this calculator should work (though slowly) on smart phones, tablets, and of course, computers… check it out

On October 22-23, California Strength will be hosting the 48th annual Golden West Open… now called the Don Wilson Memorial, Golden West Open. Don started this Northern California tradition 48 years ago and it has become one of the west coast’s highest profile events.
California Weightlifting Fund will be supporting this year’s event with hardware and software for managing the competition and for webcasting live around the world.
California Weightlifting will be testing the prototype integrated webcast… check out the mock-up here.
This webcast integrates with the newest revision of California Weightlifting’s Lift Complete system. If all goes well, we will be making the Lift Complete system available to others in December 2011.

The Dollar for Dollar challenge of raising up to $500 for Sarah Robles trip to the London Test Event Was completed last week. We are very happy to write a check for $1000 to help offset travel and expenses for Sarah and her Coach, Joe Micela.
Sarah is the sole US representative at the event. We are very excited to have been able to help out.
Thank you to our generous donors! Together, we made it happen
Sarah Robles has accepted an invitation to the Olympic Test Event in London!
48 athletes from around the world will be representing their countries in a special Olympic Weightlifting event starting on the 7th of December. Sarah was invited by the IWF to compete… but USA Weightlifting doesn’t have the budget to fund this event so Sarah and her coach, Joe Micela, are raising funds for this event.
California Weightlifting is pleased to announce intent to match fund raising efforts up to $500 for Sarah’s and Joe’s trip. They are well on their way but this last bit of funds will allow them to complete the trip and eat something other than protein bars squirreled away in their luggage.
Please click the donate button to help Sarah represent the USA without worrying about meals and travel!
