The USAPL is a drug tested organization and restricts the usage of equipment to single ply suits and shirts in the equipped division.[1] The raw division of the USAPL allows wrist wraps and knee sleeves as well as a weight belt.[1] In 2019, USAPL announced that transgender women would not be allowed to compete as women.[2]

In November 2021, USA Powerlifitng was expelled from the International Powerlifting Federation over some of its policies.[3] On January 14, 2021, female transgender weightlifter JayCee Cooper launched a discrimination lawsuit against USA Powerlifting in the District Court of Minnesota.[4] In place of IPF World Championships, USA Powerlifting has started the USA Powerlifting Pro Series Circuit. In March 2023, a Minnesota Court ruled that USA Powerlifting must permit transgender athletes to compete.[5]
