Power lifting is similar to weightlifting, but it consists of different events. It is a strength sport made up of the bench press, the squat and the dead lift. The maximum weight lifted in each event is added up for a final score. Lifters compete against each other in body weight classifications. Powerlifting became popular around the world with men and women in the early 1900s and it relies on limit strength; utilizing the entire body to push, pull and support as much weight as possible. However, speed and technique are essential in powerlifting. If you join a club and use its equipment it is an inexpensive sport as you only need gloves, shoes and perhaps a belt; of course if you buy the weights it will cost you more.
