And wait…. There’s more….

Dylan and Paisley reppin WSS! Thanks

Yep, it needs to be said again.

WSS athletes, when you are done with a platform, machine, adjustable bench, plates, PLEASE make an effort to return it, and the area around it, (aka, plates, bars, specialty bars….) to its proper place.

Benches returned to the platform, they don’t necessarily need to be back in the rack but at least on the platform so they are not in the walk ways around the platforms. Plates and collars back to, at least, a similar position in the plate racks. Machines cleared of all plates.

Thank you ☺️

IPF Secures TV Broadcast Partnership for North America

The IPF and CBS Sports (broadcaster of the Super Bowl 2024) have signed a multi-year agreement to bring IPF powerlifting to the TV in the USA and the whole of North America.

CBS Sports is one of the most prestigious sports channels in North America, and has a reach of more than 65 million households just within the US.  CBS Sports broadcasts many prestigious sporting events and now IPF Powerlifting is also part of their portfolio.

The first broadcast event in 2024 will be the IPF World Bench Press Championships in Austin, Texas. At this “home” event, CBS Sports will broadcast the prime time session LIVE on 6 days of the competition.  There will also be a highlights show covering the whole event after the championship concludes.

CBS will also broadcast highlights of the IPF World Open Classic Powerlifting Championships in Lithuania, as well as the IPF World Open Equipped Powerlifting Championships in Iceland.  Both of these events are qualifiers for The World Games 2025 in Chengdu, China.

IPF President, Gaston Parage: “With CBS Sports the IPF will increase its broadcasting portfolio dramatically with coverage of all of North America”

IPF Secretary General and President of Powerlifting America, Dr Robert Keller: “Partnering with CBS Sports will showcase our sport to millions of households in the USA and the whole of North America. This will certainly give our sport an additional boost in the United States and we can’t wait to see our powerlifting superstars on TV.”

Help us welcome the newest member of our team Dr. Sina Gartner!

Photos from the Powerlifting America AZ University Cup on February 3rd. 🥉 First, congrats to all of the competitors that came out and lifted for their teams. Arizona State, Grand Canyon and Ottawa Universities brought their all. We are 10 months out from a rematch. Hopefully we will see a team from NAU and U of A join in on the fun. Thanks to all our volunteers that make the meets run like clockwork. Setup gets quicker each meet, the meet itself runs well ahead of the anticipated schedule as the spotters are fast at loading the bar. Spotters are who keep the lifters safe and bring confidence in the lifters knowing they will be covered in any circumstance. The referees are well experienced and do a great job officiating on the platform, the TC/ Announcer makes sure everyone gets to the platform quickly and brings the energy. Scoring staff and our admissions staff are also essential. We couldn’t do this without everyone taking time out of their days to be here and help out. Thank you!!!! Now on to today’s meet.

LPC Photos packages are still available for purchase.
