First, lets talk divisions:
14-15, 16-17, 18-19, 20-23, Open, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70-74, 75-79, 80+, jv high school, varsity high school, collegiate, military, police/fire, special Olympics, lifetime.Second, we must multiply that by 21 weight classes (10 women, 11 men).....our current figure is now 483 Nationals champions per fed.
Third, we have to remember that the vast majority of feds now offer a RAW division as well....so double that number for the RAW lifters and we're up to 966 National Champs per fed.
Fourth, we have to remember that there are at least 25 feds in the United States....so multiply our current figure by 25 and you will see that there can be about 24,150 National Champions in any given year.
So, thanks to the multitude of divisions that exist today, there is a National title for each and every one of us if we just pay our entry fee and hit three token lifts.
Personally, I try to do my part in the solution. When more than one division is offered at meets, I enter everyone on my Collegiate team in the open division (regardless of age or skill). Also, in the future, all meets that we host will be Open-division only with the hope of creating head-to-head competition.
