| • | is one of the three events of powerlifting.]] is one of the three events of powerlifting.]] Powerlifting is a strength sport, consisting of three events: the squat, the bench press, and the deadlift. The maximum weight lifted in each event is totalled for a final score; lifters compete in bodyweight classes. Powerlifting is of relatively modern origin, dating from the early to mid 20th century onwards, and is sometimes referred to as "weightlifting's ugly sister".It is open to both men and women. At first the third event in the powerlifting was the bicep curl which later was replaced with the deadlift. In contrast to classical Olympic weightlifting events, where an athlete raises a barbell from the floor to over his head, powerlifting movements are shorter and less technically oriented. While both disciplines demand enormous strength and speed, powerlifting focuses more directly on absolute limit strength, olympic weightliftingon the ability to exert force at speed. The two sports are largely separated by geography: Olympic weightlifting is most popular in Russia, Turkey, Iran and China, while powerlifting is most popular in North America.
