PLU
The official PLU record book for Iowa residents, in PLU's native kg classes.

Scope is by lifter residency (per federation registration), not meet location.
The heaviest total on file here is Jonathan Benjamin Vance's 920 kg (2,028.5 lb) at Power Surge Pro/Am VIII in 2024. Competition activity peaked in 2025, the busiest year on record with 174 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.
