USA Powerlifting Guidlines


  • All athletes, officials, coaches, and spectators must wear masks, before, during, and following competition. This applies to all present in the venue. Athletes, coaches and spectators are responsible for bringing their own masks, and the meet director will provide masks for officials, including spotters, scoring staff, referees should they not have their own. 
Mask use will follow CDC guidelines as follows:
  • The mouth and nose are fully covered.
  • The covering fits snugly against the sides of the face so there are no gaps.
  • The cloth face covering can be tied or otherwise secured to prevent slipping.
  • The face covering is not shared with anyone else.
Registration will take place as usual prior to competition. All participants must:
  1. Bring their own pen or pencil.
  2. All of those either working registration or waiting to register must wear a mask, stand six feet apart, and refrain from touching the registration table, staff, or other lifters.
 Weigh-ins will take place with one athlete and the weigh-in official present only, with the exception of minors, who must have a parent or coach present.
Everyone present in the weigh in room must wear masks and the athlete will show appropriate identification and membership while holding the items. They will not be handed to the weigh in official or placed on the table.
  1. Those waiting in line to weigh in must wear masks and stand at least 6 feet apart.
  2. After completing weigh in, the athlete must leave the weigh in room and the area where the weigh in has taken place, i.e. don’t stand and talk to the other competitors.
  Athletes will arrive 30 minutes prior to weigh in and leave after the session awards and drug testing procedures are complete. Organizers may schedule as many sessions as are practicable each day of competition.
  1. Multiple platform meets will be allowed. However, each platform must be separated by a minimum of 10 feet allowing officials between platforms to maintain appropriate distancing.
  2. The warm-up room will be segregated from the competition area. If it is not possible to put them in separate rooms, they will have dividers to separate competitors and those warming up.
General precautions:  
  1. Bars plates, and collars will be sanitized between each round (i.e., squats round 1, squats, round 2, etc.). This must be accomplished by spray-type disinfectant.
  2. Warmup equipment must be sanitized between each session.
