Deep dives

Weight classes in powerlifting

Powerlifting competitions have weight classes, which determine the prizes for top lifters in each category. However, the utilization of complex mathematical formulas to calculate a lifter's performance, taking body weight into account, has raised concerns about fairness and disadvantages faced by individuals in bigger bodies. Competitors often aim to compete in lower weight classes for a perceived advantage, but the issue of accessibility and inclusion for individuals in higher weight categories remains relevant. The conversation surrounding weight classes in powerlifting highlights the need to address anti-fat bias and ensure that the sport is inclusive for all athletes.
