![]() Let us help you train successfully for powerlifting Two Flight Powerlifting Competitions This means that each lift will take approximately 42-minutes to complete.Ĭurious to know how long powerlifting workouts are? Check out my article How Many Hours A Day Do Powerlifters Train? Throughout the course of the day, that’s a total of 126 attempts (42 squat attempts, 42 bench attempts, 42 deadlift attempts). If you are competing in a single flight of 14 lifters, each lifter is going to have 3 squat attempts, 3 bench press attempts, and 3 deadlift attempts. This is not always the case, but it’s a good rule of thumb to use when trying to calculate how much time the lifting portion of a competition will take. You can expect that each “attempt” will take about 1-min. How Long Do One-Flight Powerlifting Meets Take? The entire group will go through the first round of squats (also called attempts), followed by the second round of squats, and finally the third round of squats before moving on to bench press, and finally the deadlift. If you have 14 or less lifters in one meet, all lifters doing an attempt will be considered one round. Let’s look at some more examples in greater detail.Ĭheck out my article on How Powerlifting Meets Work where I break down 10 things you need to know if you want to compete in powerlifting. Therefore, Flight A will complete all three squat attempts, then Flight B will complete all three squat attempts, before Flight A moves onto their bench press attempts. Each flight completes one individual lift before moving onto the next.įor example, let’s assume there are two flight (Flight A and Flight B).Ī powerlifting competition runs in the following order: squat, bench press, and deadlift. Now that you understand this concept, the only other thing to know is that there can be more than one flight competing in a powerlifting competition.įlights are usually referred to by alphabetical groupings (“Flight A”, “Flight B”, “Flight C”). After you’ve taken your second attempt, you again, wait until the 13 people in your flight have taken their second attempt before you take your third attempt. If you squat first in the flight, then 13 other people will need to squat before you take your second attempt. So, imagine yourself in a flight of lifters with a total of 14 people: This means that a flight of lifters between 8-14 will compete together in the squat, bench press, and deadlift. The length of a powerlifting meet will heavily depend on the number of flights, and the number of lifters per flight.Īs per the International Powerlifting Federation (IPF) rulebook for flight numbers: You must have a minimum of 8 lifters per flight, and a maximum of 14. ![]() What Is A Flight?Ī flight is a grouping of lifters that compete together. I’m going to explain what a “flight” means, and then three examples of different “flight structures” that you can see in competition. The overall length of the meet will depend heavily on how many flights there are participating on that day. Learn more How Powerlifting Flights Affect Meet Day Timing
