World Masters (IMWA)

World Masters qualifying totals (IMWA). These are the standards for the World Masters Championships / World Masters Games — a single qualifying total per age group × bodyweight class that must be met or exceeded to be medal-eligible. Weightlifting Canada Masters qualifies Canadian athletes internationally against these IMWA totals. These are not Canadian Masters Nationals standards — for national qualifying totals (and the 30–34 age band, which IMWA does not use) please refer to Weightlifting Canada Masters (wchmasters.org).
