The SPBC Powerlifting Team welcomes new members once per year, and joining is by invitation only. Team members must have at least one year of consistent lifting experience, a recent medical exam, and no injuries or medical contraindications that would prevent safe participation in powerlifting training.

Joining the team is a commitment. Members must be able to train three times per week and are expected to compete in their first powerlifting meet within one year of joining the team.

If you participate in another sport or training program, that training must be appropriately cycled alongside powerlifting to allow for adequate recovery and reduce the risk of overtraining and injury. Team members are expected to be completely honest about all training and physical activity outside of the powerlifting. Your coach can only program safely and effectively when they have the full picture.
