The Powerlifting event, hosted by United States Powerlifting Association, will have crowds packing the competition floor to witness the best male and female lifters around.
Events include the Squat, Bench Press and Deadlift. You need to be here in person to witness the raw power it takes to deadlift a bar, loaded with more than 1000 lbs
The Battle in the Burgh will be a two-day powerlifting meet testing the athlete’s strength in the big three lifts. Powerlifting tests your strength, technique and raw grit. The first event is squat, up next is bench press, then the crowd favorite, deadlifts, followed by an award ceremony each day where we will find out who is the best in the Burgh!
