usma intramurals vs. company athletics

Usually, weight lifting is done on free time. We do have a power-lifting team, though.
 
I'm guessing club teams can't replace IM sports

Actually, they do! Club teams have full athos, for the most part, so they don't have to participate in IMs, UTT, or drill.

Is it possible to join a weightlifting club and use that as your IM sport? Weightlifting is my passion haha

Yep! A cadet on powerlifting (or any club/varsity team for that matter) is excused from IMs. So it's not like powerlifting is used as your IM; it's more like it gets you out of IMs altogether.
 
Different club sports teams have different levels of authos depending on competitiveness and season. Powerlifting is year round and gets full authos.

Nice. Is the club free for anyone to join or are there tryouts?

All competitive clubs generally have tryouts. The only ones that don't are the ones that are "leisure clubs" (aka you don't really have to go to practice and it's more of a common interest club). Powerlifting has some tough tryouts from what I have heard.
 
I see. Well hopefully after Beast I can somehow find time to weight lift and get strong enough to tryout.

tryouts? does this mean that these clubs are difficult to get into?
and what are some examples of "leisure clubs"?

Haha, I made up the term for lack of a better word but those are clubs like investment club, radio club, law enforcement tactics club, negotiations club, paintball club (non-competitive), various clubs about specific majors, language clubs, etc. Basically just a club of people sharing a similar interest that don't necessarily compete.

And the competitive clubs have a lot of benefits with limited slots so the difficulty of getting in them will vary depending on the interest. Things like SCUBA, Combat Weapons, and the Jump Team seem to be the most competitive.
 
How hard is it to make the climbing team? I have some experience with bouldering and would love to expand on that.

It is actually pretty hard. They had a lot of people try out for it this year. go for it, though.
