So what is powerlifting?
Athletes in powerlifting compete in the squat, bench press, and deadlift to see who can lift as much weight as possible for 1 rep. Powerlifters have three attempts to reach their maximum weight and are ranked in body-weight and age categories. The winner is determined by who has the highest powerlifting total.
Powerlifting is a sport that tests maximal strength. We’ll cover the sport rules, how powerlifting technique differs from other activities, differences between raw powerlifting vs equipped, and who does powerlifting.
