Orie, Sorry I haven’t responded yet to your email to me about this. I have been on a fishing trip and still trying to catch up on things. But since you asked it here – I’ll answer it here as it may help others understand the USAWA scoring system.
First each lifters total pounds are adjusted for bodyweight using the Lynch Formula. This chart is found on the left of the homepage under “Scoring Information”. Second, these adjusted Lynch points are amended for age. 1% per year is added starting at age 40. This gives you the final points.So here goes the calculations.
Sam (882.5 pounds)x(.8695 LF)x (1.10 Age factor)= 844.067 Points
Orie (893.5 pounds)x(.8264 LF)x(1.12 age factor)= 826.995 Points
I hope this makes sense. Al
