The NEW ROOTS PICK & SHOVEL Classic
Saturday, December 5th, 2026 | Flagstaff, AZ

The 3rd annual New Roots Pick & Shovel Classic is here! This UNSANCTIONED Powerlifting meet is great for your FIRST meet, your ONLY meet, or your MOST FUN meet. What does “unsanctioned” mean? No federation fee, no singlets required, less pressure, more fun, and your PR’s don’t go anywhere except towards your personal achievements.

We still follow the rules and weight classes of USPA, but we care way more about you having an exhilarating experience than how strong you are!

ALL AGES, ABILITIES, AND EXPERIENCE LEVELS WELCOME!
