A community based Powerlifting Competition

Supported by the UAE Bodybuilding Federation, the Power Meet is a two-day powerlifting competition where men and woman from all experience levels and backgrounds gather to test their strength in the squat, benchpress and deadlift.

​Heading for its 10th edition, this has truly become a community driven event with 80 competitors who come to test their strength against the barbell. Whether you lift 25kg or 225kg, whether it is your first time competing or you came for the gold medal, everyone gets the same cheer and support.

Power Meet Records Board

The records board displays the best lifts in each weight category since the inception of Power Meet. Check-in after every competition to see which records fall, and which ones stand firm.

​Records are the best lifts, but do not represent the diversity of lifters that participate. While it is good to see what can be achieved, and celebrate strength, it is important to know that the Power Meet is a Club competition and lifters of all strength levels and experience are welcomed and equally celebrated.
