- **Event Name**:  CARUSO CLASSIC 2026
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 04 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 am – Sat, 04 Apr, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: On April 4th Torque Barbell will host a Memorial Meet for Lucas Caruso and his legacy within the sport of Weightlifting. 

Lucas developed a love for the sport of weightlifting at an early age, training with his Uncle Buck and competing when he was just 13 years old. His hard work and commitment earned him a spot at the Junior Olympics and the record for Clean at his high school, which remains on the weight room wall to this day.

Later in life, Lucas came back to the weightlifting community and became a staple at Torque. Always willing to help train, support, and encourage those around him, he had a huge impact on the Torque family. He especially loved spending time with his kids at the gym and helping them grow in the sport. He was proud to mentor not only his own children, but to also be a positive role model for many youth at Torque. He will be remembered for his kindness, his dedication, his laugh, and his affinity for sweet 80s workout tunes.

This is our 11th annual Olympic Weightlifting Meet. As with all USAW sanctioned meets. Weigh-ins open 2 hours before the start time for each weight class. USAW membership and proper attire are required for your lifts to count.

For those not familiar with an Olympic weightlifting meet, you will have 3 attempts to post your best snatch and 3 attempts to post your best clean and jerk. Those are the bare bones basics but be sure to study with the material below if needed. This meet is for all levels of competitors as last year we had many first-time competitors competing next to those pushing for national records.

In order to compete in Olympic weightlifting in the US, you need to be a current member of USA Weightlifting. Go to http://www.teamusa.org/USA-Weightlifting to register.
