Fortitude Barbell Competition

Test your strength and compete alongside the Fortitude Barbell community in a supportive, well-run powerlifting event.

What to Expect

Our competitions are built around the same coaching standards you get in the gym every day.

Squat, Bench & Deadlift

Compete across the three core powerlifting disciplines in a standard meet format.

All Levels Welcome

Whether you're stepping on the platform for the first time or you're an experienced competitor, there's a place for you.

Properly Judged

Lifts are judged to proper standards, so every result is one you can be proud of.

Key dates our lifters are training towards this year — hosted at Fortitude Barbell and around the country.
