Powerlifting Records by Age and Weight Class
Records by a custom age range
Enter an age window and a lift to see the heaviest qualifying lifts by anyone in that range, across every federation. Weight classes are bodyweight bands in the IPF kg or traditional lb system, so a lifter counts by what they weighed in at, not by their federation's label. Age comes from the meet result, which is recorded for about two thirds of entries, so lifts without an age on file are not included here.
