Powerlifting UKIPL

A huge congratulations to all the UKIPL athletes that travelled out to Verona, Italy to compete at the IPL European Championships over the weekend with over 180 registered athletes competing from all around the world.
Travelling to compete is never an easy task and with temperatures reaching 36+ degrees over the weekend it was very challenging for all the athletes involved so it’s a massive achievement for all of the athletes representing the UKIPL.
Everyone should be proud of their performances.
A massive shoutout and thank you to the team sponsor Xplosive Ape for providing the fantastic team kit
and to the IPL and all
loaders and spotters involved for being so welcoming to the athletes.
