Competitors will have the option to compete in a full powerlifting meet (squat, bench press and dead lift), bench press only meet, push/pull meet or deadlift only meet. Divisions are as follows: teen, junior, open, masters, high school, collegiate, Special Olympics and youth.

Athletes who would like to participate in the competition will need to have a USAPL membership card at the time of registration.
