How these progressions are built

Each panel shows every full meet that set a new all-time best in tested federations for that sex, equipment, and weight class. A row appears only when its value exceeds every prior recorded value in the same category. The OpenPowerlifting dataset is densest from about 2010 onward, so the earliest entries in any class reflect when reliable coverage began rather than the all-time-first attempt. "Days held" measures the gap between successive record-setting meets.

Records are computed from the OpenPowerlifting public-domain dataset and represent the highest qualifying lift on file for each (federation, sex, equipment, weight class, age class, tested) combination. State records are scoped by the lifter's registered state of residence (matching USAPL/PA/USPA rules), not by meet location; coverage depends on the federation — USAPL and USPA report lifter state for 87–97% of entries, while some smaller feds report it rarely. Records may differ from a federation's official record book. Read more about how these records are computed.
