Thoughts and Stories of Inspiration for Powerlifters, plus tips to help you Conquer The Platform!

What a Whirlwind!

When the seeds of creating a new powerlifting federation were first planted in 2018, I could never have envisioned how the world would change within the next few years: the victories, heartbreaks, losses and struggles that we have all encountered over the past year, specifically. But if life is a teacher, the biggest lessons to learn are that nothing lasts forever, life always gives us opportunities to grow and learn, and at the end of the day we are all in this thing called "life" together.

The sport of powerlifting is a great way to bring us together to support each other in our struggles, whether those struggles are mental, emotional or physical. It's hard to think of other sports that are capable of having an 11 year-old just starting their strength journey, an internationally competitive 30 year-old, and a life-experienced 82 year-old lifter sharing the same equipment and platform on the same day. If we intend to learn and grow as people as well as lifters, the first step is coming together to support each other regardless of our backgrounds, genders, ethnicities or sexualities.

Isn't the sport of powerlifting amazing? Message us if you would like to share the story of your powerlifting journey with others in our next newsletter/blog.

    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.
