OpenPowerlifting: Global Competition Results and Lifter Performance

OpenPowerlifting aggregates global powerlifting competition results across multiple federations, maintained by author sstangl with updates through March 2026. The project tracks individual lifter performances, including specific weights for squat, bench, and deadlift attempts in a unified format.

Use Cases

• Trend analysis of strength gains across different weight classes and age groups using lift weight features
• Comparison of lifter performance and scoring across various powerlifting federations
• Statistical modeling of successful versus failed lift attempts based on attempt sequences

Strengths

• AGPL-3.0 licensed for open redistribution and transparency
• Maintained using Python and Rust for data processing integrity
• Aggregates data from multiple international powerlifting federations

Limitations

• Potential for name collisions or duplicate lifter profiles across different federations
• Dependent on the reporting accuracy and data availability of external powerlifting organizations
• Inconsistent coverage of smaller or defunct regional federations
