Pinning this as it seems that a constant reminder is needed.

Please don't DM. All enquiries of any kind should go to issues@openpowerlifting.org. You will receive a bounceback email with a ticket number. If you do not receive this, then we haven't got your enquiry.

If you can't get an email through (our email is a bit over the top with its spam filter), click on Contact Us on our website. This will direct you to gitlab where you can raise an issue directly.

You will have to set up an account on gitlab but it's free and guaranteed to get through.

Emailing means that you go straight into the queue and all of our team can see and act on your request.

DMing here means that your enquiry will likely be forgotten.

Thank you for your understanding.

As the sport grows, so does the workload.  With entries for over 700,000 lifters and more than 42,000 meet results added, WE NEED HELP.  We have a backlog of requests that gets bigger every day and we really need to grow the team.

First and foremost, we need people that can interact with git and, realistically, have some spare time to spend on the project.   Ideally, we would like someone from every federation to be the maintainer for that fed.  Being a maintainer means adding meet results and handling data corrections via git.

If we are generally slow to add your federation’s results, then we probably don’t have a maintainer for that fed.  You do not have to be an official of the federation to be the OPL maintainer for it.

We could also do with people to handle incoming tickets requesting adding instagram, date of birth, name correction or other minor update.  Again, some knowledge of git is required for this.

The project is entirely staffed by volunteers and is funded by the powerlifting community – never advertising.   If you have some time to offer, you would be doing a great service to the preservation of powerlifting history.
Email issues@openpowerlifting.org and let us know what fed or area you can help with.

We've been working in hard in March and here are the results.

Fewer meets added this month and we have a corresponding growth in our backlog. The workload expands constantly but it's the same handful of people slogging away at the inbox.

If your federation's meets don't go up quickly then it's likely that there is no dedicated maintainer for your fed. Maybe it could be you?

No DMs please, all comms should go to issues@openpowerlifting.org. If you don't receive a bounceback email with an issue number, then we haven't received it. Try again or use the Contact Us link on the website.

We've been working in hard in February and here are the results.

We still have a huge backlog but we are working on it!

At Sheffield 2025, Sonita Muluh squatted an incredible 313kg (690lbs) raw in knee sleeves.

This is the biggest squat we have ever recorded on the women's side in knee sleeves and is only 7kg off the biggest women's squat in knee wraps.

Huge congrats from the team at OpenPowerlifting.

MONTHLY UPDATE

In January 2025, we added

1,564 meets
17,074 lifters

That's 113,625 individual entries added to the database.

We are seeing more federations working with us to learn how to upload their own results. This is the way. Our workload is impossible but if every federation uploaded their own meets, then we would be home dry.

If you spot an error, email us at issues@openpowerlifting.org. You will receive a bounceback email with an issue number. If you do not receive this, then we didn't receive your email. If you can't get an email through to us, use the Contact Us link on the website.

Wishing you all a strong February

Congratulations to Brittany Schlater who hit a 273.5kg deadlift at Sheffield last weekend. That's the ATWR deadlift for a raw tested athlete.

This is actually her second time hitting that number but now it stands as the IPF world record too.

Huge congrats from the OpenPowerlifting team.

Congratulations to Agata Sitko who hit 643.38 dots at Sheffield this weekend. That's the highest dots for a raw tested athlete that we have ever recorded.She did it in knee sleeves but it's also higher than any tested athlete has achieved in knee wraps.

She also has the tested 75kg ATWR in bench (160kg), deadlift (262kg) and total (628kg).

Huge congrats from the OpenPowerlifting team.

Agata Sitko is your Sheffield 2025 champion.

Taking records in the bench with 158kg, deadlift with 260kg, and total with 628kg in the 69kg division.

She increased the world record total by 4.67% to take her second Sheffield title.

We’re a little bit late to the party but congratulations to Lorenzo Jordan who set a new all time world record in squat on 14th December 2024.  He squatted a massive 300kg in knee sleeves in the 67.5kg class, surpassing Kristos Papanotis’ previous record of 290kg which was set all the way back in 2015 in knee wraps.

He is also the lightest man to ever squat 300kg in sleeves OR wraps.

Huge congratulations from the team at OpenPowerlifting.

Athlete Spotlight:
Dina Hakeai(@dina_hakeai )with a ludicrous 650kg total in sleeves at her first meet with lifts of 225/155/270.

This total is the 6th largest total ever put up by a women in sleeves.

Her 270 second attempt deadlift gives her the tested All Time Record for women,

Additionally her 250 third attempt squat on which she jumped the rack command would have matched the largest tested women's total.

We hope there's much more to come in Dina's powerlifting career!
