World Association of Bench Pressers & Deadlifters

We are an association of lifters who enjoy competing in the single-lift bench press and deadlift on state, national, and international levels. We are a drug-free organization and all meets are drug-tested.

This is a drug tested federation. Drug testing is to take place at every meet and is the responsibility of every meet director to conduct the testing. The WABDL tests for steroids, clenbuteral, and speed as well as for abnormally high testosterone levels and TE ratios.

We invite you to learn about our organization and encourage you to participate in competitions. Your comments and suggestions for making this organization more "lifter-friendly" are always appreciated and considered!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR VALUABLE SPONSORS! OUR MEETS ARE MADE POSSIBLE BECAUSE OF THEIR SUPPORT!!
