Powerlifting is a strength sport that consists of three attempts at maximal weight on three lifts: squat bench press and deadlift. As in the sport of Olympic weightlifting it involves lifting weights in three attempts. Powerlifting evolved from a sport known as odd lifts which followed the same three-attempt format but used a wider variety of events akin to strongman competition.
