Special Things We Have Planned
  • Our Livestream will be a 3 Camera, including eye from the sky (Same clip of that below)
  • 8 IPF Approved warm-up racks for Squat and Bench
  • A dedicated deadlift warm-up room, so lifters can start deadlift warm-up, even if bench warm-up is still going



 
Our April 15, 2023, Powerlifting America Pennsylvania State Championships will be held in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania. It will have 1 IPF level competition platform and will have a great warmup area with 8 IPF level combo platforms with 8 IPF certified kilo sets. Again, one platform with 8 warm-up areas! 

Our livestream will be 3 cameras including a sky camera for overhead shots in bench press. The meet will be run @browns_gym which offers a 24-hour sauna for those needing to cut weight. Our entry will be at $125, and this includes the event shirt, which is on high quality NextLevel materials. Our general admission will be $10. The coaches pass will be $15. This is the path to IPF World Championship level competition

Our state event will be limited to 60 lifters a day, roughly 30 lifters a session. We pride ourselves in events starting and ending on-time. We will NOT have sessions with 4 flights to a session. Our live scoring will be liftingcast, where anyone can watch online the status of the event and flits. Our great looking Powerlifting America medals will be handed out at the end of each lifting session, our best lifter awards are unique light up crystals
