What is Powerlifting?

Powerlifting is a strength sport which involves three disciplines: Squat, Bench and Deadlift.

In competitions, athletes have three attempts for each discipline, totaling to nine attempts. In which, the highest weight successfully lifted for each discipline is added up to form the athlete’s total and is then used along with their bodyweight to calculate their DoTS points.
