THAI POWERLIFTING FEDERATION BRINGS THE SPORT OF DRUG-FREE POWERLIFTING TO THAILAND WITH 1st SHOWCASE EVENT

Two of the world’s leading powerlifting and fitness athletes and social media stars will lead a special showcase demonstrating the international sport of powerlifting in Bangkok. Layne Norton and Holly Baxter headline a special program of fitness and nutrition coaching over April 28 and 29, followed by a VIP press day to be hosted on April 30th. Fully endorsed and supported by International Powerlifting Federation (IPF), the program highlights the IPF’s commitment to developing the sport of drug-free competitive powerlifting globally, bringing this extraordinary show of strength, focus, balance and dedication to lifting to growing and increasingly enthusiastic weightlifting and fitness audiences in Thailand.

John Coyle, future President of TPF, introduced the event, explaining, “The sport of powerlifting attracts a massive following of athletes globally, and we want to bring this amazing sport to Thailand, to connect it to a new generation of lifters in Thailand. The lifting community in Thailand can at times be inclined to follow a certain previously established (or assumed) ‘template’ for what is possible in lifting; that is, that performance-enhancing drugs are necessary to achieve one’s best. Supported by the IPF, powerlifting is a sport that is 100% drug-free, and this is a key principal for anyone who competes in the sport. We want to encourage all kinds of fitness enthusiasts, lifters and sports fans in Thailand to explore our terrific sport, revel in its expression of ‘natural power’, and discover their best performance as part of a really supportive international community”.
