Powerlifting is a competitive strength sport that involves three main lifts: the squat, the bench press, and the deadlift. The goal of powerlifting is to lift as much weight as possible for a single repetition in each of these lifts. Powerlifters compete in different weight classes, and the winner in each class is determined by the total weight lifted across the three lifts.
