What is "para powerlifting"?
Para powerlifting is a sport for athletes with physical disabilities who compete in the same three lifts as in powerlifting: the squat, bench press, and deadlift. The main difference is that para powerlifters are allowed to compete while seated, usually in a specially designed bench for the bench press. In this sport, athletes aim to lift as much weight as possible, with competitions based on weight classes. Para powerlifting is a sport that requires strength, technique, and dedication, with athletes overcoming various physical challenges to achieve their best performances.
