International Powerlifting Federation (IPF)

The International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) is the world's leading organization for the sport of powerlifting, which involves three main lifts: the squat, bench press, and deadlift. The IPF sets the rules and standards for competitions, ensuring fairness and safety across all events. Athletes compete to lift the maximum weight possible in their weight class. The federation also promotes powerlifting internationally, organizing championships and fostering a community of lifters. With its focus on drug-free sport, the IPF implements strict anti-doping measures to maintain integrity and promote healthy competition among athletes.
