On February 27, 2026, at 5:30 PM, a one-minute bench press competition will take place at the Vilnius University Sports Hall (M. K. Čiurlionio St. 21, VU SSC premises). All Vilnius University students and alumni who wish to test their abilities and experience the excitement of a competitive sporting atmosphere are invited to take part in this strength challenge.
The aim of the competition is to promote strength sports within the university community and to determine the strongest VU bench press athletes in both the women’s and men’s categories. Participants will compete in weight classes, and the final result will be calculated by multiplying the number of repetitions completed within one minute by the chosen weight — meaning that not only strength, but also strategy, will play an important role.
We encourage everyone to register, participate, and support their fellow students. This is a great opportunity to challenge yourself, feel the thrill of competition, and become one of the strongest representatives of the VU community. For further information, please contact the head judge of the competition, Lukas Šverčiauskas, by phone at +370 683 50239 or by email
