It’s time to raise the bar! Test your upper body strength to its ultimate limit. The fast-growing sport of powerlifting was once exclusive to men with spinal cord injuries but has expanded to include both men and women with a wider range of disabilities.

The objective is simple: the athlete who lifts the most weight - wins. Lifters must lie flat on their back with full body contact to the bench throughout the lift. Weight increases as each competitor successfully completes a lift. So “go heavy or go home!" Find a contact person at Ontario Powerlifting Association.
