Powerlifting News and Stories from Africa

If you love watching big lifts, tracking records, or just want to know what’s happening in the African powerlifting scene, you’re in the right place. This page gathers all the recent posts about powerlifting – from competition results to training advice – so you can get the info you need without hunting through the whole site.

Latest Powerlifting Competitions in Africa

Every month there are new meets across South Africa, Kenya, Nigeria and other countries. The biggest ones are the African Championships, national opens and regional qualifiers that feed into the World Games. Winners usually post massive squat, bench press or deadlift numbers that break previous records. For example, last week a Kenyan lifter set a new continental record in the 105 kg class with a 320 kg deadlift – a lift that surprised even seasoned coaches.

Our coverage includes full result tables, photos of the podium moments and quick interviews with the athletes. You’ll see who’s moving up a weight class, which lifters are eyeing the next World Championships, and what sponsors are supporting the sport in the region.
