Rob Wess squats triple body weight at the AAU Piedmont Powerlifting Challenge
It remained so until Powerlifting officially left the AAU in 1981 as a result of restructuring in the AAU, promoted by the Amateur Sports Act of 1978.
With the tremendous interest that this sport has generated over the past thirty-plus years, Powerlifting returned to the AAU in 1995.
In its seventh year, the AAU program has registered several thousand athletes, recruited over 50 meet directors, sanctioned over 110 meets including several national and world invitational championships, and conducted the first-ever Powerlifting competition at the prestigious AAU Junior Olympic Games.
