Powerlifting is the sport of training for strength. Participants train with barbells to improve their ability to produce force. This is beneficial for life in general and also for performance in other sports. Participation is open to boys and girls ages 12-18. All participants will be coached in proper and safe lifting techniques. The registration fee for the 2021 season is $275. This will cover the basic equipment needed to participate (weightlifting belt, weightlifting shoes, and competition uniform). Participants will need to secure a reliable place to train either at a properly equipped commercial gym or home gym. Training sessions may also be held at Coach Bruner’s home gym when schedules allow. Lifters are expected to train three days a week for 1-1.5 hrs per session.
