powerlifting is more than just numbers on a bar. it's a test of grit, focus, and resilience. this collection captures the intensity of competition, the moments of preparation, and the sheer determination of athletes pushing past their limits. from the tense seconds before a heavy squat to the euphoric celebration of a successful lift, these images showcase the journey of strength, both physical and mental. whether it's the quiet focus of a lifter, the support of coaches and spotters, or the electrifying atmosphere of the platform, each shot tells a story. a story of discipline, drive, and the pursuit of something greater.
