competitive powerlifting, only one thing matters and that\u2019s having the highest total possible.<\/strong>&nbsp;An athlete\u2019s total is comprised of the three competition lifts and these lifts include the,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Squat<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bench Press<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Deadlift<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As a whole, the sport of powerlifting is growing at both a competitive and recreational level.&nbsp;<strong>In fact, it\u2019s not uncommon to see many recreational lifters \u201ctrain like a powerlifter\u201d, even though they have no aspirations to compete.<\/strong>&nbsp;Whether you\u2019re setting records or brand new to the sport, this page will serve as your all-in-one powerlifting home!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div
