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.
