powerlifting
Maximum weight attempts
Powerlifting is a strength sport consisting of three lifts: the squat, bench press, and deadlift.
Competitors get three attempts at each lift, and their best successful attempts are combined for a total score.
Unlike Olympic weightlifting, which emphasizes explosive overhead movements, powerlifting focuses on raw strength through slower, controlled lifts: She set a state record in powerlifting.
