USA Weightlifting Nationals 2015 Event Results

Weightlifting is rising in America.

With the rapid growth of functional fitness and barbell sports in our country, weightlifting’s spotlight continues to beam brighter each day.

Registrations for American Open have soared over the past three years; and, as the volume of interest expands, the talent pool gets deeper, and America’s chances of becoming a force on the international weightlifting scene improve.

The 2015 USA Weightlifting Nationals saw one of its most competitive landscapes ever and the newfound depth in each weight class pushed lifters to shatter Junior, American, and World records on each day of the competition.

With a platform hotter than the Dallas summer sun, our nation’s barbell stars came to perform.

Check out the highlights and top athletes below…

15 year old @cj__cummings (-69kg, USA) clean and jerking 175kg/385lb to set a new youth, junior and senior American record in the C&J and total. It is also an unofficial Youth World Record — which currently stands at 173kg. Just last year he made 153kg at 62kg which is also a senior American record. He is completely rewriting the American record books and he only turned 15 in June! #weightlifting #crossfit #performance #TrainHeroic A video posted by TrainHeroic (@trainheroic) on Aug 14, 2015 at 7:06pm PDT

What an amazing day, the energy in that warm-up room was incredible. I had the opportunity to compete with the best of the best; the strongest and most skilled women in the country. I will never forget this experience, and am even hungrier than ever to get back to training. I had the most amazing support system along the way.
