Teach students about the three main disciplines of powerlifting, squat, bench, and deadlift. Students will learn how to perform these three movements with good form and how to train to increase the amount of weight they can lift. At the end of the year, there will be a competition so students can test their strengths and see how much progress they have made over the year.

The club wants to improve students' physical health as well as make them stronger. Not very intense of a lifting club. This is different from powerlifting because it's not as intense. It's not to lift as heavy as you can but just increase your weight as time goes on and you keep lifting weekly.
