SUMMARY:Powerlifting
DESCRIPTION:June 27 @ 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm\n\nView DetailsRegister\n+ Add to Google Calendar+ iCal / Outlook\n\nParalympic powerlifting\, also known as para powerlifting and para-lifting\, is an adaptation of the sport of powerlifting for athletes with disabilities. The only discipline in Paralympic powerlifting is the bench press. For competition\, the bench press is the sport’s single discipline\, with 10 different categories based on body weight. Competitors must lower the bar to the chest\, hold it motionless on the chest and then press it upwards to arm’s length with locked elbows.\nTeen & Adult\, Ambulatory and Wheelchair\nOffered on Wednesday evenings and Saturday afternoons at the GLASA office\nPlease check the calendar in SportsPlus for the most up-to-date schedule. \nListed by GLASA. View details / register \n\nAbout this event\nPowerlifting is featured on the Project Awaken Get Active calendar as part of adaptive sports\, recreation\, arts\, and community programming for people with disabilities across Chicagoland. Project Awaken brings together listings from trusted Chicago-area partners so people with spinal cord injuries\, mobility disabilities\, and visual impairments can find welcoming ways to get active\, connect with others\, and try something new. \nEvents like this typically welcome participants of varying abilities along with their families\, friends\, sighted guides\, and volunteers\, and many are free to attend. If you are new to adaptive sports or recreation\, it helps to reach out to the host organization ahead of time with any access questions\, ask whether specialized equipment is provided\, and bring a companion if that makes you more comfortable. Taking that first step — showing up\, asking\, trying — is what getting active is all about. \nPlease confirm the date\, time\, location\, cost\, and any registration requirements on the official event or organizer page before attending\, as details can change. To find more opportunities\, explore our full events calendar\, browse Get Active grants and resources\, or join the Get Connected peer-support community.
