Powerlifting

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powerlifting>

" Powerlifting is a strength sport, consisting of three events: the squat,

the bench press, and the deadlift. The maximum weight lifted in each

event is totalled for a final score; lifters compete in bodyweight

classes. Powerlifting is of relatively modern origin, with the first

formal competitions occurring in the mid 1960s. It is open to both men

and women.

In contrast to classical Olympic weightlifting events, where an athlete

raises a barbell from the floor to over his head, powerlifting movements

are shorter. While both disciplines demand high levels of force

production, weightlifting actually focuses more directly on the rapid

force produced by dynamic efforts, meaning that " powerlifting " is really

something of a misnomer. The two sports are largely separated by

geography, with Olympic weightlifting being more popular in Eastern

Europe and Asia (Russia, Turkey, Iran, China, and others), while

powerlifting is more popular in Western Europe and North America.

However, support for powerlifting is growing worldwide, with Russia,

Ukraine, Poland, Indonesia, and Taiwan producing World Champions and

World Record holders. "

I hope the readers of this post find the content above to be uplifting.

If a powerlifer seems nervous, this may be a sign that the powerlifter is

pressing a bit, but it is not certain how much weight can be attached to

this circumstantial evidence.
