Powerlifting Championships

Powerlifting Championships are competitions where athletes showcase their strength by performing three main lifts: the squat, bench press, and deadlift. Each lifter competes to lift the maximum weight possible in each category, with their best attempt in each added together for a total score. The athlete with the highest combined weight wins in their weight class and overall categories. These championships test raw strength, technique, and mental focus, attracting skills from beginner to elite levels. They are held internationally or locally, with athletes often divided by age, gender, and weight to ensure fair competition.
