How to join Penn State Powerlifting

What is the Penn State Powerlifting Club?

Joining the Penn State Powerlifting Club is more than just lifting weights and competition. The club will consist of competitive lifters as well as students simply interested in weight/strength training. Every year the club will host a competition team to represent Penn State at various local meets and the USAPL National Collegiate meet every spring semester. We currently train in East Area Locker Room to get ready for our competitions. Members of the club are expected to participate in various charity and fundraising events throughout the year (ex. THON, United Way).

The Penn State Powerlifting Club promotes a non-discriminatory and drug free atmosphere. Members found to be in violation of University policy or Club sports policy will be immediately suspended and will undergo disciplinary review.
