Powerlifter

A powerlifter is someone who specializes in powerlifting. This consists of squat, bench press and deadlift. Unlike bodybuilding, which focuses more on muscle aesthetics, powerlifting is focused on maximum strength performance in few repetitions. Training for powerlifters often includes maximum strength training, periodization and targeted technique work to enhance performance in the three disciplines. Powerlifting requires not only muscular strength but also strong joint stability and a resilient central nervous system.
