Just to clear up some confusion;
IPF Powerlifting is NOT in the Olympics but ParaPowerlifting (Bench only) IS.
Olympic weightlifting and powerlifting are NOT the same sport (that’s like comparing football to rugby just because they both use a ball).
Olympic Weightlifting consists of the clean & jerk and snatch, whereas Powerlifting is the squat, bench press and deadlift.
I hope this gives some clarity. Happy lifting! 🤗
