New Brunswick Powerlifting Association

New Brunswick Powerlifting is back! Our next meet is confirmed for May 29. It will be held in Saint John at Fundy Powerlifting. Stay tuned for more details and registration link!

With the advent of New Brunswick entering the Yellow Phase we are excited to be able to start hosting powerlifting meets again. This past winter has been tough for many competitive sports organizations, so it’s nice to see the potential for competition in the near future. A lot of our members have found ways to train through all of this and are looking to get back on the platform as soon as possible. With 2020 CPU Nationals cancelled this year, there is now a focus on each re...gion (West, Central, East) to host their respective regional events in the fall. For us, this means Eastern Championships in Nova Scotia later this year. Our plan is to have 1-2+ meets between now and then so our members have the opportunity to get the qualifying standards needed for competing at Easterns. For the past few years we have always hosted our meets in the Moncton area. Part of the plan for NBPL going forward is to start having meets held in other major centres like Saint John, Fredericton, and Northern NB. We will have at least one if not more of these additional meets in another region this year. This will help empower these regions to continue to grow and make the competitive side of the sport more accessible. We will be speaking with members who have shown interest in hosting meets in these regions over the next couple of weeks to plan out potential dates and locations. We are also going to be releasing another line of official NBPL hoodies and hats, so stay tuned for these updates over the next few weeks. Cheers, RJ Forbes President, NBPL

2020 NBPL Provincials post meet update: We’ve had a bit of time to recollect after the meet and look back upon what we believe to be a very successful event. This was the first CPU meet in Eastern Canada since the COVID-19 quarantine started earlier this year. It was different than normal but in the end, everyone worked together and stayed compliant maintaining the safety of our lifters, volunteers, and community. Even with these restrictions, we had National and Provincial...Continue reading
