USA Powerlifting Master’s Hall of Fame

2020 marked the inaugural year for the Master’s Hall of Fame. The Committee choose to induct a few pioneers that made a significant impact on powerlifting. Choosing just one individual to honor was nearly impossible.

• The inductee must have made historically significant and noteworthy contributions to USA Powerlifting/ADFPA powerlifting.
• The inductee must have served as a role model to other athletes because of the inductee’s performance and leadership.
• The inductee must have in some notable, significant way worked for the promotion, advancement, and betterment of USA Powerlifting/ADFPA powerlifting.
• The inductee shall have no drug infractions pursuant to USA Powerlifting/ADFPA organizational rules or from any other powerlifting organization, and the inductee must not have received any prior USA Powerlifting/ADFPA suspensions.
• If an athlete, the inductee must have competed in the ADFPA/USA Powerlifting for at least 5 years. If an administrator, they must have served at least 10 years in the ADFPA/USA Powerlifting.
