Summary
A powerlifting meet gives lifters and coaches an opportunity for performance under pressure. Learn the whys, hows, and whats of powerlifting meets. Learn about this and the exciting new International Barbell Federation (IBF).
Powerlifting Meets for Everyday Lifters
You don't have to be a 700 lb deadlifter to benefit from a strengthlifting meet.
People of all ages and backgrounds have found the purpose-organizing power of signing up for and preparing for a meet.
Putting the meet on the calendar gives a time and place where you need to perform. It helps you organize your training, eating, even vacations and such around this.
Sometimes, this is not appropriate. You might not want to schedule this when life is throwing you severe involuntary hardship.
Still, novices and experienced lifters, young and elderly, the painfully average or elite can benefit from adding this to their training. As a coach, the best way to get better at helping lifters at meets is to have your lifters go through meets. Second best way is going through a meet yourself.
Powerlifting Meet: The Power of the Platform
Beyond the training-organizing function, the environment of a meet - especially an in-person meet - is powerful.
People regularly experience PRs as they get cheered on.
On the other hand, the unique elements of a meet can throw people curve balls. You have judges and an open platform (as opposed to staring at a wall). You have less control over when you lift and have weird equipment and clothing. Judges may give you commands. You have to handle emotions.
With all this, it is certainly an experience worth having under your belt as a lifter and coach.
Try a powerlifting meet or strengthlifting meet, so you can perform under pressure.
