USA Powerlifting Gainsgiving Open

Give Thanks. Lift Heavy.

Every season builds to this.

The USA Powerlifting Gainsgiving Open is a Limitless tradition where athletes, teams, friends, and families gather for one of the most energetic meets of the year. Right before the holidays begin, lifters step onto the platform to celebrate progress, chase PRs, and finish the season surrounded by a supportive crowd.

Whether it’s your first meet or another total on the board, Gainsgiving is about showing up ready and leaving proud.

Bring the team.
Cheer loud.
Earn the lift.
