Powerlifting isn’t just about lifting heavy—it’s about lifting smart. Too many athletes grind through workouts without a clear plan, only to hit frustrating plateaus or, worse, get injured. The key to consistent progress isn’t just hard work—it’s structured work. That’s where the Powerlifting Performance Pyramid comes in.

The National Powerlifting Championship 2025, organized by Malaysian Association of Powerlifitng (an IPF affiliate), was a testament to resilience, teamwork, and relentless pursuit of excellence. This victory wasn’t just about strength—it was about heart, perseverance, and the quiet power of showing up. These incredible women didn’t just lift weights; they lifted each other, their dreams, and the spirit of everyone who believes in rising after every fall.

The truth is, most new powerlifters make the same critical mistakes—jumping straight to heavy weights without mastering technique, following random workouts with no plan, or burning out because they neglect recovery. The result? Stalled progress, frustration, or worse - injury.
