2025 USA Weightlifting National Event Qualifying Totals#
All new (Post February, 2025) QTs are available on one PDF via the “NEW 2025 QUALIFYING TOTALS - NEW BODYWEIGHTS” box. The old QTs have been left on this page only as a reference. Athletes who qualify for 2025 Nationals Week events in the current bodyweight categories during the qualifying period, which began on May 22, 2024 and ends on May 22, 2025, will be eligible to register. The current bodyweight categories and qualifying totals will be honored for athletes attempting to qualify for the 2025 National Championships week events until the end of the qualifying period. Athletes attempting to register for the VWS2 and VWF will need to hit the new 2025 Qualifying Totals at a bodyweight conforming to the new category limits. Please contact USA Weightlifting at usaw@usaweightlifting.org with any questions.
Welcome to USA Weightlifting's qualifying totals hub. Select an event from the list below to learn the qualifying totals for that competition. Below is a brief explanation of how qualifying totals work, and who is eligible to register for a USA Weightlifting national event.
Every athlete must post a total to qualify for a USA Weightlifting competition. That total must be posted within the qualification period specified for that event.
Take the hypothetical scenario in which the qualifying totals for the 2023 USA Weightlifting Fictional Competition are:
Men's 55kg bodyweight division: 200kg total
Men's 61kg bodyweight division: 210kg total
Taking the scenario above:
-An athlete can hit a 200kg total as a men's 55kg athlete (thus, qualifying for the Fictional Competition) and use that same result to register as a 61kg -- or any other bodyweight category -- for the Fictional Competition
-An athlete CANNOT hit a 200kg total as a men's 61kg athlete (missing the qualifying total for the 61kg class by 10kg) and use that total to register at 55kg (or any weight class) for the Fictional Competition
The rationale above is to be applied to all events listed in this hub.
