Powerlifting Guides
Powerlifting is a strength sport of three lifts: squat, bench press, and deadlift. Each lift allows three attempts. The total is the best successful attempt on each.
The three lifts
The squat, the bench press, and the deadlift are the whole contest. The IPF rulebook scores the best good lift on each and adds them. Wikipedia's short definition matches that scope. This page does not try to replace either source.
OpenPowerlifting is the public meet database behind the 1000 lb squat list. IPF, USAPL, and USPA publish the class tables used on the weight-class page. I link those books instead of building a federation directory.
