The UK takes on the USA in one of the fastest growing sports in the military

Watch Great Britain’s military athletes hit the weights, gearing up for a super showdown with their rivals from the United States.

Why is powerlifting becoming so popular?
Well Hannah King dives into the world of military powerlifting to find out - meeting athletes who train while deployed, compete internationally, and challenge stereotypes about strength, gender, and body image. From submariners with no room to lift, to sailors battling rough seas, this is a sport built on discipline, resilience, and community.

For the Love of Lifting looks at one of the fastest-growing sports in the British military (and beyond), powerlifting is often misunderstood. Strip it back, though, and it’s just three simple movements: the squat, the bench press, and the deadlift – standing up, pushing something up, and picking something up. In many ways, it’s training for life.

Forget the scales. Focus on the bar.
