The Malta Drug-Free Powerlifting Association is organising its annual National Championships on Sunday 9th September 2018 at the Cottonera Sports Complex.

Powerlifting is a strength sport consisting of three main lifts: the squat, the bench press and the deadlift. Each athelete has three attempts on every lift and these attempts are done with maximal effort.

This is the 11th edition of the National Powerlifting Championships in Malta, and even though powerlifting has been introduced in Malta a few years ago, the association has seen great achievements by its athletes on an international level. Malta in fact has over 5 world records within the World Drug-Free Powerlifting Federation by both female and male lifters.

If you, or someone you know would like to take up this sport and start competing on a national and international level, you are encouraged to contact the Malta Powerlifting on facebook or send an email on [email protected].

With less than 7 weeks out, there is still time to tweak your training to be able to compete with Malta's top powerlifters.
