Variation lifts vs. competition lifts
let’s talk about variations and competition lifts.
Variation lifts are modified versions of the main lifts used to improve weaknesses and build strength. For example:
- Pause squat
- SSB (safety bar) squat
- Larsen press
- Deficit deadlift
- Close-grip bench press
On the other hand, Competition lifts are the exact movements performed in a powerlifting meet. Purpose of competition lifts:
- Practice the exact technique used in a meet
- Build specific strength for SBD
- Prepare for competition commands and standards
Make sure to not neglect both of these as they can beneficial for your powerlifting journey.
