Context These data come from the OpenPowerlifting project and can be found at http://www.openpowerlifting.org/data.html and https://github.com/sstangl/openpowerlifting. I hope to contribute to this project by providing compelling and informative visuals. I am also building visuals from these data and posting them to https://public.tableau.com/profile/ashley.e.bleggi#!/ Content These data track meets and lifters with over 300,000 entries and over 8,000 meets world-wide. They include information on lifter statistics, wilks scores, and date of competition. Acknowledgements This page uses data from the OpenPowerlifting project, http://www.openpowerlifting.org.

Inspiration I am just starting my career as a powerlifter and hope to continue participating in the sport for as long as possible. I hope to explore and learn about the performance and relationships between those that came before me and are currently competing as recorded in these data. I don't currently have a question and am in the initial exploratory phase of my analysis.
