WRPF meets in the United States stopped in late 2024: the last US WRPF meet in our data is from October 2024, and WRPF America's website is offline. Several of its meets, including the American Pro, have since run under Powerlifting United (PLU). US WRPF records here are historical. The heaviest total recorded in WRPF competition is Colton Engelbrecht's 1,225 kg (2,700.5 lb) at Nikolai Kagansky Memorial Cup in 2026. Russia hosts the most WRPF competition, with 38,769 entries on file. Competition activity peaked in 2023, the busiest year on record with 13,303 entries.
