The article presents a study regarding squat technique conducted by the research team from Louisiana Tech University. It states that successful squat performance requires more than just a squat with weight on one's back, but seeing how the components of the lift are executed, identifying faults and training so as to subdue them. An overview of the squatting technique for powerlifting, speed during ascent and maximizing power is presented.

The article presents a study which examines the kinematics and muscle activity characteristics in max bench press conducted by researchers from Norways Sogn and Fjordane University College and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. It mentions that one of the most frustrating failure in powerlift is the sticking point during bench press. Noting on the sticking point, is the point where the initial velocity of the weight as it blasts off the chest before starting to increase again.

The article discusses the comparison of the effectivity between multiple sets and a single set in powerlifting. It notes on the long debate between these two modes of thinking where there is more to that debate than just single versus multiple sets and the issue of exactly how many sets one should do. In relation, an overview of the meta-analyses and the understanding on how many sets one should perform is presented.

the article presents a study on the effects of different intensities of weight training on microscopic regulators of muscle growth in Texas. An overview of the molecular activity happening in the body during training and the science of muscle growth is presented. Moreover, the strength training build bigger muscles, however, knowing the science in powerlifting in the molecular level is necessary so as to make smart designs for optimal training program.
