Summary

Every powerlifting federation has similar rules about how lifts should be performed in competition, but how those rules are applied rests with the judges/referees. Different feds have different reputations for judging, and any time an “all-time world record” is broken in a fed that is known for looser judging, there’s instantly a social media controversy.

Should we care where a lift was performed? Should we ignore records from feds that don’t have a rigorous approach to judging lifts? We take a stab at these questions and share a few of our current favorite non-fitness/lifting social media accounts.
