Powerlifting is a strength sport.  Competitors do three lifts.  The first lift is the Squat, a deep knee bend with weight on the back.  The second lift is the Bench Press, a chest exercise.  The third lift is the Dead Lift, where the weight starts on the ground and is lifted to waist height. 

​

Each person gets three attempts at each lift.  The best lifts in each exercise are added to give the Total.
