United States Powerlifting Association (USPA)

The USPA consists of raw lifting which includes the use of knee sleeves, wrist wraps, four-inch belts, t-shirt, and one piece singlet. The USPA also consists of Single-ply and Multi-ply lifting. Multi-ply will allow double-ply gear and use of the monolift. Each division has its own Vice President who will actively oversee all of the details of its division to ensure a successful and first-class run association.
