The Goals of the USPC & WPUSA

​The primary goal of beginning the USPC was to enable meet directors to develop the best meet experience for lifters. The USPC is a positive, encouraging federation from the top down. By providing local support to new and upcoming meet directors, we are automating and developing processes that benefit the lifters.

One of the ways we accomplish this is by having the best equipment on the market for lifter and spotter safety - the DynaBody Monolift. A monolift provides more safety for a squatter. Imagine the energy you expend by having to step back with a few hundred pounds of weight on your back or, for elite lifters, think of walking out 800+ pounds. The monolift makes squatting heavy weight much safer and also provides an extra layer of safety by having straps/chains that aid in preventing the bar from hitting the ground if something goes awry. Do you want to walk out your squat? You can do that, also. The USPC is giving you the option to do a "stand and go" squat or walk it out. How much better does it get than that?

We also utilize a DynaBody Competition Bench at our meets. This bench is sturdy and unshakeable. The pad is much thicker and considerably wider than the typical combo-rack insert benches.

Our online testing procedure for becoming a judge is revolutionary. The test is not a "gimme" and is not just a True/False test. No two tests are alike since the system randomizes the questions. If you have judged with another federation, you should not take this test lightly. Once you pass the test, however, you are not automatically placed into a judge's chair. There are other criteria which need to be met in order to acquire your judge's shirt (which of course is free to you)! Before you attempt to take the test (or lift in a meet) be sure to read the USPC Rulebook, which link is here.

These are just a few ways in which we are changing the face of powerlifting --come to a meet to see more!

    Presented to you by the USPC & WPUSA:

    The United States Powerlifting Coalition was created to provide powerlifters an atmosphere where they can be comfortable in a safe, lifting environment. We utilize a monolift on the platform in order to provide the best experience for both lifters and spotters and to promote safety and confidence when squatting; a fat pad bench with face savers and Texas squat, power and deadlift bars on the platform.

    We are a member nation of World Powerlifting for our drug-tested meets – World Powerlifting USA.
    ​
    Our federations utilize Open Powerlifting and our meet results post faster than any other powerlifting federation, with our results typically posting less than 24 hours after the conclusion of a meet.  Our State and National Records are current from meet to meet so you will know exactly what numbers you need to hit at a meet.

    Our judges test is the most innovative in the sport of powerlifting. We utilize an online testing platform that records I.P. addresses to prevent a person from taking the test for multiple people and prevents the same test from being given twice by cycling out the questions. Our online format offers multiple choice, true/false questions and other formats in order to make sure there is a learning process even while the test is being completed.
    ​
    We offer local, regional, national and world level meets. Come check us out when we are at a venue near you and message us for more information.
