UAE Powerlifting Records

UAE accounts for 5,490 competition entries from 3,234 lifters across 2 federations in the OpenPowerlifting archive. The records below show the top qualifying squat, bench, deadlift, and total for each weight class, age division, and equipment category. Use the filter to narrow by weight class, age, equipment, or tested status, or scroll for the default top records by lift.

The heaviest total on file here is Blaine Sumner's 1,275.5 kg (2,812 lb) at World Powerlifting Championships in 2019. IPF sanctions the most competitions here, accounting for 53% of all entries on file. Competition activity peaked in 2023, the busiest year on record with 658 entries.

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.
