The Northeastern University  Powerlifting team (NUPL) is a student-run organization that is committed to facilitating a safe and motivating atmosphere for the furthering of current and prospective members’ potential powerlifting careers. NUPL teaches members how to properly execute the three essential lifts in powerlifting: squat, bench, and deadlift. In the fall, the team trains raw to build a foundation for equipped powerlifting. In the spring, the team begins the equipped training cycles in preparation for Collegiate Nationals. Collegiate Nationals is NUPL’s biggest competition of the year, but the team will also compete in smaller meets throughout the year. NUPL is also dedicated to promoting drug-free powerlifting in the Northeast region of the United States and across the globe. Joining NUPL can help prospective members in developing confidence, ambition, and empowerment within themselves, as well as building strength in all aspects of their lives.
