IPA President, FRED FISCHER, set a new “ALL TIME” World Record in the bench press at the Hillbilly Havoc 4 Power Meet in Hurricane, WV. Fred’s bench of 639.3 lbs. is the most weight lifted for all weight classes in the (70-74) age group.

Everyone, please note that an IPA meet lift posted on the internet does not always mean the lift is a good lift. Questionable lifts brought to our attention will be disallowed and not be posted as records on the IPA website or with OPEN POWERLIFTING. In addition, a blatant disregard of the rules may result in decertification of the meet director and judges.

The IPA is planning on having our World Championships in early December 2026. Major sponsor will be Fischer Financial Services, Inc. There will be significant amount of prize money for the professional lifters.

Congratulations to Zack Marstiller. Zack will be replacing Matt Brooks as the new State Chair of Tennessee. Matt will continue as Director of U.S. Relations.
