Arnold USA Powerlifting Championships

The 2013 Arnold USA Powerlifting Championships at the Arnold Sports Festival will grow again next year as one of the popular strength competitions is directed by USA Powerlifting for a sixth straight year.

USA Powerlifting (USAPL), based in Columbia City, IN, has more than 5,000 members who compete in an organization committed to drug-free competitions throughout the United States. The group is also the only U.S. member of the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF), the oldest and largest governing body for the sport of powerlifting. The IPF, founded in 1971, has members in more than 100 countries.

Dr. Larry Maile, President of USA Powerlifting, said, “USA Powerlifting is thrilled to return to the Arnold Sports Festival for our sixth year. Once again, we will showcase many of the world’s elite lifters as they compete in the benchpress, deadlift and squat.  Watch as the best athletes go head-to-head in competition and watch as they attempt breaking World Records!”
