Powerlifting comprises three disciplines: Squat, Bench Press, and Deadlift. The RAF Powerlifting Association (RAFPA) aims to promote the sport at all levels, ensuring that both novice and experienced lifters have the opportunity to develop and excel.
Throughout the year, multiple training camps are held, each geared towards building various skills essential to powerlifting. These camps are delivered by RAF personnel who have attended recognised civilian coaching courses, ensuring high-quality instruction.
Each event provides valuable insight and experience, helping athletes build the confidence needed to compete at a professional level. The Powerlifting Association not only prepares athletes for competition but also educates them on the rules and gives them the best possible chance to achieve personal bests.
For those interested in taking up this sport, the RAFPA offers a comprehensive events calendar available on the RAFPA SharePoint page. Additionally, you can connect with the Association on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram @RAFPowerlifting. This accessibility ensures that all interested personnel can easily find information and get involved, fostering a supportive and inclusive community.
By promoting powerlifting and providing structured training opportunities, the RAFPA contributes to the physical fitness and mental resilience of its members. The Association’s focus on education and skill development ensures that every athlete, regardless of their starting point, can progress and achieve their goals.
