What Is the Unracked YMCA Powerlifting Program?
Ready to build strength and test your limits? Our YMCA powerlifting program, Unracked with Sam, is a 6-week strength challenge designed for male and female members ages 16 and older who want to improve their squat, bench press, and deadlift. Whether you’re new to lifting or looking to break through a plateau, this program gives you a structured path to measurable progress.
Start Date: October 5
How the Program Works
This YMCA powerlifting program is broken into three key phases:
- Initial Strength Test – Find your one-rep maximum on squat, bench, and deadlift to establish your starting point.
- Midway Evaluation – A trainer will assess your progress at the 4-week mark and help identify where to focus.
- Final Re-Assessment – See exactly how much you’ve improved by the end of the 6 weeks.
- Competition – Prizes awarded to participants who show the most improvement across their lifts.
Push yourself, track your progress, and get stronger together with a community of members chasing the same goal.
