Para Powerlifting
In Para Powerlifting, athletes have three attempts to lift the heaviest weight possible. For each lift, athletes lower the bar to their chest, pause, and then press the bar upward until their arms are fully extended. Athletes are classified into and compete in bodyweight categories.
