Welcome from WDFPF committee:
Year review 2016: President, Wim Backelant:
Competition proposals for 2017 - 2018 End of congress
The 2016 Year was a very special for WDFPF. We were required to change the place of WC Powerlifting from Ireland to Italy. Great thanks to Italian Federation for picking up and organising the competition so fast.
At International events the inspection of kit is not mandatory.
It is the responsibility of the National Technical Secretary of all Nations to
ensure that their lifters are wearing suitable equipment prior to or at I
nternational events.Where lifters are unsure if an item meets the required
criteria there will be a Technical Officer who will inspect as required.
Where a lifter is found to enter the event with equipment that would otherwise
fail to meet the required the lifter disqualified.
WDFPF qualification Totals & Scores apply to World Championship events both
Full Power and Single Lifts and European Full Power and Single Lifts.
If the Chief Referee observes the lifters head no longer in contact with
the bench, he shall raise their arm indicating to the side referees that
the head has come off the bench. In such case the side referees will
automatically give a no lift. This is the ONLY occasion during the bench
press the Chief Referee is allowed to raise their hand/arm
Knee sleeves may be worn in the EQUIPPED Division only.
They must not more than 30cm in total length.
They must be made of a 1 Ply material
From now on NO TYPE of shirt that is considere compressive is allowed to be
worn at WDFPF events. Thia is defined as any type of shirt that is figure
hugging and has elastic properties
EQUIPPED MEANS EQUIPPED – any lifter entering the equipped competition must
be equipped as indicated below:
1.Squat – A squat suit or Knee wraps/Sleeves or a combination of both
2.Bench Press – A recognised Bench Shirt is MANDATORY

FULL POWER OPENING LIFTS
In order to promote a standart of lifting at international events not
