Powerlifting
A strength sport consisting of three lifts: squat, bench press, and deadlift.
Powerlifting is a competitive strength sport where athletes attempt maximal weights in the squat, bench press, and deadlift. Each lifter gets three attempts at each lift, with the heaviest successful lifts summed for a total. Training focuses on low-rep, high-intensity work to maximize one-rep max strength in these three movements.
