Human Performance

Semper Fit Human Performance employs subject matter experts, including one of only two registered dietitians in the Marine Corps within Semper Fit. Our SME’s provide training, education, resources, and referrals that support mission readiness, optimal performance and resiliency.

Representatives from Human Performance hold regular health and nutrition classes and are available to come directly to individual units and offer briefs on topics such as BCP and remedial nutrition, fitness, injury prevention, weight loss, performance and sports nutrition, dietary supplement training, chronic diseases, tobacco cessation, sexual health, sleep and cognitive function and can also tailor presentations to fit specific needs.

The mission of the Semper Fit Human Performance is to educate and encourage beneficiaries (active duty, reservists, family members, retirees and civilian employees) to improve their health and well-being through the voluntary adoption of a healthy lifestyle.

The Marine Corps defines the following topics as the most prevalent health issues that impact mission readiness and are therefore the focus of the Human Performance Program.

Seven Semper Fit Elements:

• Performance Nutrition

• Chronic Diseases

• Tobacco Cessation

• Injury Prevention

• Sleep

• Cognitive Performance

• Sexual Health and Responsibility

2026 EVENT DATES:

• March 11
• June 24
• November 18

COMPETITION OVERVIEW

• Authorized patrons that are able to utilize the fitness centers, from Active-Duty to dependents.
• An unsanctioned Powerlifting Event to give light/exposure to the sport and how a powerlifting competition runs.
• HITT Center, Bldg. 2525

REGISTRATION:

Register on-site the day of if they want to participate.

FORMAT:

• Competitors will perform three different lifts in the following: Barbell Back Squat, Barbell Bench Press, and Barbell Deadlift.
• Participants have 2 attempts to lift the heaviest amount of weight for each exercise for 1-Rep.
• Participants will have 3-5 minutes to rest between exercises before performing their 2nd attempt or their first attempt in a new exercise.
• Participants are allowed to wear lifting straps / wrist wraps for the deadlift and bench press, and knee sleeves/wraps for the deadlift or back squat.
• Scoring System: the total weight lifted from the three exercises will be divided by the competitor's body weight (which is retrieved when they register on-site the day-of).
• Example: Back squat 300lbs + Bench Press 250lbs + deadlift 400lbs = 950lbs / 180lbs (competitor's body weight) = 5.277 score

EVENT AWARDS:

Overall top place male & female (two prizes), heaviest lift per exercise (6 prizes, potentially 3 prizes for Males and 3 for females).
