Events

Upcoming powerlifting meets, equipped clinics, and seminars in Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, Wyoming. USPA meets, SPF competitions, and world-class training events.

Powerlifting Events Across the Region

Iron Plains Powerlifting hosts powerlifting meets, free clinics, and seminars across western Nebraska, Colorado, Kansas, South Dakota, and Wyoming. Whether you're stepping on a platform for the first time or learning from world-class lifters, our events are designed to welcome lifters at every level and grow the sport in the region.

All events are hosted at Warehouse Fitness Center in Scottsbluff, Nebraska - home base of Iron Plains Powerlifting and the only facility in the region with a monolift.

Powerlifting Meets

A powerlifting meet is a competition where lifters test their max strength in three lifts: squat, bench press, and deadlift. You get three attempts at each lift, and your best lifts are added together for your total. Meets are welcoming to lifters of all levels - first-timers compete alongside veterans, and everyone is there to support each other. Whether you compete raw (no supportive gear) or equipped (with squat suits, bench shirts, etc.), powerlifting meets are about testing yourself, setting PRs, and being part of the community.
