The platform for emerging powerlifting strongmen and women will be locked and loaded on Sunday, February 16, 2025, when the Guyana Amateur Powerlifting Federation (GAPLF) commences its 2025 season.
Novices and Junior lifters will take center stage as they seek to commence successful careers.
The athletes will showcase their strength in the three lifts affiliated with the sport: squat, bench press, and deadlift, at Saint Stanislaus College Auditorium.
