Support UCLA Club Powerlifting
Who Are We?
UCLA Club Powerlifting is a student led and funded athletic club comprised of dedicated student-athletes. The club was established in 2009 and was one of the initial collegiate powerlifting teams on the West Coast. We offer a platform for members to challenge their limits, achieve personal bests, and represent UCLA at competitions. Currently, with a team of 50+ members, we want to cultivate a community of lifters dedicated to lifting each other up, both literally and figuratively.
Competitions
Powerlifting meets are where the spirit of the community shines. Powerlifting is a barbell sport composed of three lifts: Squat, Bench, Deadlift. Each competitor is allowed 3 attempts on Bench, Squat, and Deadlift. These competitions foster an uplifting environment for both athletes and spectators. It's not just about lifting the heaviest weights but about the commadore and support from one another. These events are not only about the physical accomplishment but about feeling connected and empowered.
Your Impact
With your support, we aim to raise funds to help our Bruins compete, enabling them to showcase their talents on bigger stages without the burden of financial constraints. Every contribution will assist in funding essential aspects of their competition journey, such as covering travel expenses, registration fees, and necessary equipment updates. Currently, our dedicated athletes pay out of pocket for these costs, limiting their opportunities to compete and excel. Removing these financial barriers together, we can aid our students in training and performing to their highest potential. Your donation can help pave the way for their success and allow them to compete without such barriers.
Thank you so much for your support, and any donation would be so valuable to our team. We appreciate you, and as always, Go Bruins!
