Power lifting

Power lifting is a strength sport, the essence of which is to overcome the heaviest weight. Technical power lifting exercises are available to everyone. Power lifting is also called power triathlon. This is due to the fact that it includes three exercises as competitive disciplines: squatting with a barbell on the shoulders, a barbell bench press on a horizontal bench and a barbell deadlift, which in total determine the qualification of an athlete. Strength is important in power lifting. When competing, the performance of athletes of the same weight and age category is compared. The score is based on the total weight in all three exercises. With the same indicators, the victory is awarded to the athlete with a lower body weight.
