history of powerlifting?
David asked:
Does anyone out there know the history of powerlifting?
For example; why 3 exercises?
Why don't they use a power rack, for safety, when lifting?
Why the belt, knee wraps?

The long tradition of Powerlifting in the Paralympics began at the 1964 Paralympic Games in Tokyo under the name "Weightlifting", where only lifters with a spinal cord injury were allowed to compete. Over the next few years, Powerlifting underwent a major transition to include other disability groups and incorporate rules identical to those of Powerlifting competitions for able-bodied. During the General Assembly in Barcelona in 1992, the decision was made to include only "Powerlifting" in the Paralympics rather than "Weightlifting".
