USPC 2025 Pro Lifter Series
The United States Powerlifting Coalition is excited to introduce our Pro Lifter Series!
This series of events will separate those with qualifying DOTS to compete for money at multiple events throughout the country. We've taken some of our most popular meets and added this option, expanding the format, increasing the excitement and giving lifters more opportunities to earn some compensation for the sport they love.
This exciting competition format will conclude the 2025 season with The Shack Showdown in Thomasville, NC in November, offering $20K (or more) in prize money!
Lifters competing in the Pro Series will get 1st priority for The Shack Showdown III.
Look for more details to be added to this page as this series develops.
