Advice

Powerlifting is safe long-term with proper technique and load management. Injuries are often a part of the powerlifting journey due to the nature of the sport being pushing past physical limits. However, to decrease your risk of injury, it may be important for you to hire a powerlifting coach who can teach you proper technique and provide you with a competent powerlifting program. If you do get injured, it is also important to seek out help from a licensed physical therapist to help you manage your injury and get you back to powerlifting.
