Oxford University Powerlifting Club

The official page of the OUPLC. The Oxford University Powerlifting Club (OUPLC) was re-established in 2007. Lifters of all experience levels are always welcome.

We exist to help individuals interested in competing within the sport of powerlifting, and helping individuals learn how to correctly squat, bench press and deadlift. We provide training and ensure progress by providing the members with the facilities and equipment necessary to excel. Alongside dedicated powerlifters, the club includes sporting men and women from various other disciplines such as: boxing, athletics, rugby, and gymnastics; as well as several members who simply enjoy training as part of a healthy lifestyle, without any sporting ambitions. We operate club and squad training sessions throughout term time. The Powerlifting Varsity competition is a yearly event against Cambridge's CUPLC. A team of 16 lifters are selected from our club members based off of competition performances and the Oxford University Sports Federation recognises the OUPLC as a discretionary full blue sport. If you have any questions, or would simply like to chat about lifting, feel free to email or message any of the committee members or visit the website www.ouplc.co.uk/
