“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.”
Proverbs 16:3

 

R.A.W. United welcomes lifters of all ages and abilities to compete with us and support our mission.  Annual memberships are just $10.00, and the federation strives to keep entry fees to a minimum.

Lifters can choose from two divisions: IRONMAN and RAW.  In the IRONMAN Division, lifters may utilize a non-supportive singlet and leather belt (no VELCRO belts); the division is tested.  Lifters competing in the RAW Division may also utilize non-fastening knee sleeves and wrist wraps; the division is not tested.

DRUG TESTING POLICY

Athletes competing in the IRONMAN Division must be drug-free (from strength inducing chemicals) since September 11, 2001.  This date was chosen in honor of those who lost their lives during the 9/11 attacks, and to honor those that have fallen in the defense of our nation.

RULES OF PERFORMANCE

R.A.W. United believes in the rules that governed our great sport at its inception.  Our judges desire to afford our lifters both consistency and encouragement; competitors should never hesitate to respectfully question a decision or ask for advice.  Rules can be downloaded by clicking below.

ENTRY FEES

While the federation strives to offer lifters high quality meets at affordable prices, we do not want financial difficulties to restrict any athlete from the opportunity to compete. Lifters that cannot afford the entry option (s) afforded at our meets are strongly encouraged to contact us at 321-505-1194 or
rawunitedinc@gmail.com.
