What are the events in powerlifting? 

The correct answer is Squats, bench press and dead lift. Key Points

• Powerlifting is a strength sport that involves lifting as much weight as possible in three different exercises: squats, bench press, and deadlift.
• These exercises are collectively known as the "big three" in powerlifting.
• Squats involve lifting a barbell on your shoulders and lowering your body until your thighs are parallel to the ground.
• This exercise primarily targets your quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings.
• Bench press involves lying on a bench and lifting a barbell off a rack, lowering it to your chest, and then pressing it back up.
• This exercise primarily targets your chest, shoulders, and triceps.
• Deadlift involves lifting a barbell off the ground and standing up with it.
• This exercise primarily targets your lower back, glutes, and hamstrings.

Additional Information

• The sport known as "odd lifts" gave rise to powerlifting.
• It was based on the same three-attempt pattern but featured a wider range of events, similar to strongman competition.
• Odd lifts eventually became the current three standard lifts.
• Lifts may be performed equipped or unequipped during competition.
• In this context, "equipment" is a supporting bench shirt, briefs, or a squat/deadlift suit.
