A Girlfriend’s Guide To Powerlifting: Beginners Guide
Powerlifting
This is strength sport that focuses around three main lifts: squat, bench and
deadlift. In competition, athletes get three attempts at each lift and are
assessed on how much they can do. The best attempts from each lift are
added together to make the athletes “total”, which will determine where
they place or whether or not they have qualified for a bigger competition.
During training, the athlete’s programme will be centred around getting
these three lifts stronger, and working on their weaknesses in them by
doing additional exercises (“accessory work”) to better said weaknesses.
