About Powerlifting
Powerlifting is the ultimate sport to test your strength. Competitors – men and women of all ages – compete in various bodyweight classes lifting in the Squat, Bench Press and Deadlift.
Similar to weightlifting, each competitor is given three attempts in each of the 3 disciplines. The total of one’s best lift in each discipline sets their place in the competition. Events range from local novice competitions to state, national and international championships.
