Today marks the launch of the new website dedicated exclusively to USA Powerlifting in Minnesota. Along with the new website, I am happy to announce the new USAPL MN Facebook page. Information about these new resources and other news in the state is provided in the 2015 MN state report. On this day 50 years ago, the first official senior national powerlifting championship was held in York, PA. To commemorate this event, an article has been written about the history of powerlifting in the United States.
