If you’ve been around weightlifting for any length of time, you know that there are a lot of rules, regulations, and policies. A lot of them.
You also know that they change on a fairly regular basis. In fact, they change so often they are difficult to keep up with. We have made the decision not to try to keep up with all of the changes through the website, which takes a lot of time and energy we could be using for other things, but to provide you with a list, and if you have a question, you can contact the WCHM President who will get back to you with the latest and most detailed word on the subject.
So, If you have a question, please use our contact form and an answer will be provided.
