Amateur branch of the World Powerlifting Congress (AWPC).

History of the emergence and development of powerlifting

Powerlifting got its start at the beginning of the twentieth century, when athletes - weightlifters began to add non-specific exercises to their training complex. That is, they didn’t just squeeze the barbell, but did it from behind their heads, lying down, sitting, etc. The main goal of this behavior was to increase their performance indicators.

In the 40-50s, unusual exercises became so popular in the West that they began to be included in the complex of competitive events.

Already in the 50-60s, the formation of the discipline in its modern form began. And by the mid-60s, the first rules were developed and championships began to be held on a regular basis.

The first unofficial championship took place in 1964 in the USA, and the first national championship took place exactly a year later. 1972 is the year the International Powerlifting Federation was founded, and in 1973 the first world championship was held.

1980 marked the first time women took part in the competition, and in 1989 the men's and women's championships were combined into one.

Powerlifting became widespread in many countries after the organization of the World Powerlifting Congress in 1986.

Powerlifting Exercises

The bench press, squat and deadlift are the basic exercises. This is due to the fact that during training almost all muscles work. The complex is indicated not only for competitions, it perfectly develops strength and promotes muscle gain.

Despite the fact that the technique of performing exercises at competitions on the platform differs from the technique of performance during training, this complex is invaluable in preparing athletes of other sports.

Each exercise requires correct execution technique and correct positioning.

Squats

The barbell squat is the first element performed in a powerlifting competition. The squat technique is as follows:

1. The athlete removes the barbell from the racks with a comfortable grip and places it on his back on the upper part of the trapezius.
2. Moving away from the rack, the athlete takes the following position: stands with a straight back, legs apart slightly wider than shoulders.
3. When performing a squat, you need to pay attention to the following points:

• at the lowest point, the hip joint should be below the knee;
• The center of gravity should be on the feet.

1. Lifting should be done with a straight back.
2. After completing the element, the athlete must return the barbell back to the racks.

If an athlete drops the barbell during a squat, he will be penalized. You need to start the element and return the barbell to the racks only at the command of the judge.

Bench press

The technique for performing a bench press while lying on a bench is as follows:

1. The athlete lies down on the bench and removes the bar from the racks. Wherein:

• the grip can be medium or wide;
• The arms should be straight and the pelvis raised.

1. When lowering the projectile, you need to ensure:

• press speed - it should be maximum;
• shoulder blades and shoulders - the first should be brought together, and the second should be lowered;
• legs - they should be as close to the pelvis as possible.

1. Returning the bar to the racks at the judge's command.

During the execution of the element, you cannot change the position of your legs and lift your heels off the floor. Also, you should not lift your head, shoulder blades and buttocks from the bench.

Deadlift

The deadlift is the last element in powerlifting competitions, the deadlift technique is as follows:

1. The athlete takes the starting position: stands with a straight back, placing his feet shoulder-width apart or slightly wider.
2. Bend over with a straight back, the athlete grabs the barbell with a comfortable grip.
3. When lifting the barbell, you need to ensure that:

• the back remained straight;
• the arms were also straight;
• the rise was carried out by straightening the legs.

1. Lowering the projectile is possible only with straightened knees and shoulders pulled back.

The barbell can be raised without the judge's command, but lowered onto the platform only upon command. Do not support the bar with your thighs or use straps.

Rules for powerlifting competitions

According to the rules of powerlifting, all athletes in the competition are divided into different categories based on their weight, gender and age. Three approaches are allowed for each exercise. The sum of the indicators for all elements constitutes the athlete’s final result. The winner is the one who lifted the most weight. It is allowed to participate in competitions from 14 years of age.

During the competition the following situations are possible:

1. If a participant fails to cope with the initial weight in any of the exercises, then he is eliminated from the competition.
2. If two athletes score the same number of points, then the winner is the athlete with the lower weight.
3. In case of an equal number of points and the same weight, the winner is the athlete who scores these points first.
4. An athlete who loses in one of the exercises can fight for results in the others.

When performing exercises, it is important to comply with the following requirements:

• the element must be performed strictly with the permission of the judge and according to commands - otherwise the approach is not counted;
• double movements are not allowed.

The following officials will be required for the competition:

1. The judge is an informant and timekeeper.
2. Stewards are messengers.
3. Protocolists.
4. Assistants on the platform.
5. Additional persons, for example medical personnel.

Sports equipment for powerlifting

Powerlifting equipment can be of two types: supportive and non-supportive. The second is allowed in all competitions, but usually equipment is understood as the type that supports it, which consists of the following elements:

• a belt for powerlifting (weightlifting) or a wide belt for triathlon;
• tights for powerlifting (wrestling) made of elastic material;
• a T-shirt with sleeves or a special T-shirt;
• powerlifting knee wraps;
• weightlifting shoes - special shoes;
• gaiters, shin guards or gaiters.

Also acceptable:

• special shoes for squats and deadlifts;
• neoprene knee pads;
• wrist bandages;
• special overalls.

The main purpose of support equipment is to protect the athlete from injury. It is designed to reduce stress on the muscles and allow the athlete to maintain the correct position.

Equipment and supplies for powerlifting

The following equipment is used in powerlifting:

• special-purpose bars (bars) with a total length of no more than 2.2 m;
• a set of disks with a diameter of no more than 45 cm;
• racks for squat and bench presses;
• a platform for deadlifts measuring no less than 2.5*2.5 m and no more than 4*4 m and a height of no more than 10 cm;
• bench press bench with the following parameters (length not less than 1.23 m; width - 29-32 cm; height - 42-45 cm):

All equipment must be durable and meet the required parameters.

Judging

Three judges take part in powerlifting competitions: a central or senior judge and two side judges. The central one provides the necessary signals in all three exercises, including visible hand signals and audible signals in the form of clapping or voice.

The judges indicate the decision for each exercise with light signals:

• white color - good;
• red - failure.

Before competitions, judges must ensure that the equipment is in good working order and that the equipment and equipment of the athletes meet the requirements. They also weigh in athletes.

Powerlifting

Many weightlifters often come across such phrases as “APWC and WPC standards.” Due to the insufficient amount of information, the meanings of the abbreviations, as well as the standards themselves, remain a mystery to them. After reading this article, you will learn:

• what are AWPC and WPC standards;
• what is their fundamental difference;
• get data according to AWPC standards.

What are AWPC and WPC

Due to the popularity of powerlifting, which is becoming more and more popular these days, new federations of this sport are emerging. Hundreds of athletes flock to such associations, because such organizations, on the one hand, hold powerlifting competitions, and on the other, they allow them to get a rank. What are AWPC and WPC?

WPC (World Powerlifting Congress) is a powerlifting organization founded by Ernie Franz in 1986. This is an international non-profit congress that unites more than 30 countries under its auspices. Largely thanks to this organization, powerlifting is becoming increasingly popular as a sport throughout the world. WPC performs the following functions:

• establishes the rules for holding powerlifting competitions;
• establishes standards thanks to which athletes can receive a rank;
• creates conditions for the development of powerlifting;
• organizes and conducts events in the sport under discussion.

AWPC (Amateur World Powerlifting Congress) is an offshoot of the WPC professional league, which is characterized by more lenient standards and strict doping control during powerlifting competitions. Another, unofficial name for the AWPC is the "League of Straight People." This organization is called this way because competition participants achieve their sporting results without the use of chemicals to build muscle mass and enhance the physiological characteristics of the body.

Powerlifters consider it an honor to belong to both one and the other organization.

Difference between AWPC and WPC

As you already understood from the text above, the main differences between AWPC and WPC are the presence of doping control in one of the organizations and the different “stringency” of standards. That is, a novice weightlifter will hardly be able to achieve any significant results if he gets into the WPC competition, because only professional powerlifters who have been involved in this sport for many years, and often do not deny themselves various kinds of chemistry, participate in them.

With the competitions held by the AWPC, things are different. AWPC standards can be achieved by an athlete who has been involved in powerlifting for 2-3 years and has an aptitude for this sport. As a rule, it is at AWPC competitions that amateur powerlifters receive their first ranks, such as candidate and so on.

To summarize the block that describes the differences between WPC and AWPC, here are a few main points:

1. AWPC is a league that is a branch of the WPC, or, in other words, is part of it.

2. If we talk about competitive levels, the WPC is intended for professionals in powerlifting, and the AWPC is for masters in this sport.

3. AWPC is a “League of Naturals” that does not allow people who use doping to participate in the competitive process, which cannot be said about the WPC, where it is possible to perform under the influence of chemicals.

4. AWPC standards are more lenient than WPC. This makes the amateur league more successful in terms of getting ranks.

AWPC Standards

Let's get straight to the numbers. APWC can be classified according to three parameters:

1. By type of exercise the athlete performs:

• Deadlift.
• Bench press.

2. According to how the athlete is equipped:

• In equipment (single-layer equipment, multi-layer equipment).
• No equipment.

3. Differences in rank standards for men and women.

Below are three subparagraphs, under each of which there are detailed tables with standards for each type of exercise performed. On the left side of each table the weight category of the athlete is indicated.

Squats

So what are the AWPC standards? Squats are one of the three basic powerlifting exercises. In this case, equipment means bandages for hands and knees, as well as belts.

The standards for athletes without equipment are as follows:

If multi-layer equipment is used, then you need to focus on the following values:

If an athlete competes in single-layer equipment, then the standards are as follows:

AWPC Standards: Deadlift

Equipment for this is a belt, a special suit, knee bandages.

So, without equipment, you should focus on the following standards.
