Moments Of Powerlifting

Powerlifting is a strength sport consisting of three events: the bench press, the squat, and the deadlift.
Powerlifting resembles the sport of Olympic weightlifting, as both disciplines involve lifting weights in three attempts. It evolved from a sport known as 'odd lifts' which followed the same three attempt format but used a wide variety of events akin to Strongman events. Eventually odd lifts became standardized to the three events (squat, bench, deadlift) and became known as powerlifting. Powerlifters can compete raw or equipped.
Powerlifting meets take place across the world but mostly in the United States, United Kingdom and Russia. Powerlifting has been a Paralympic sport since 1984 and under the International Powerlifting Federation, is also a World Games sport.
