U.S.A. Powerlifting

USA Powerlifting (USAPL) is the national affiliate for the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) in the United States. The USAPL sanctions all local, regional and national IPF meets in the country. The current president of the USAPL is Larry Maile.

Similar to the IPF, the USAPL is a drug tested organization and restricts the usage of equipment to single ply suits and shirts in the equipped division. The raw division of the USAPL allows wrist wraps and knee sleeves as well as a weight belt.
