The American Powerlifting Committee (APC) is committed to promoting and advancing the sport of powerlifting at the highest level, in a fair and equitable manner, for all individuals regardless of age, gender, or weight class. We strive to establish and maintain standards for record-keeping and consistent, unbiased judging for all lifters. Powerlifting is more than just a demonstration of physical strength, it is a sport that builds character, self-respect, and mental toughness in each athlete. As the representative of the United States of America, the APC is dedicated to upholding the highest standards of sportsmanship, fairness, and integrity.
