powerlifting meet

A powerlifting meet is a competitive event where athletes lift heavy weights in three specific exercises: the squat, bench press, and deadlift. Each participant performs three attempts for each lift, aiming for maximum weight. The best successful lift from each exercise contributes to their total score. Competitors are grouped by weight classes to ensure fairness. The overall winner is determined by the highest total weight lifted. Powerlifting focuses on strength and technique, and meets are regulated by official rules and judges to ensure safety and consistency among competitors.
