OUR MISSION AT XYL

At Xpand Your Limits (XYL), our mission is to help women step beyond self-doubt and into who they were created to be through challenge, community, and intentional growth. We believe confidence is built through action, courage is developed outside of comfort, and real transformation happens through small, consistent commitments that compound over time. Through training, events, coaching, and shared experiences, XYL creates spaces where women learn to trust themselves, strengthen both body and mind, and pursue growth with clarity, faith, and purpose—one degree at a time.

THE DIVISIONS

This meet is non-sanctioned and open to ALL levels; our non-showcase meets (like this one) do not include weigh-in's like traditional powerlifting meets. Divisions are based on honest self-selection of lifter's experience level.

Many of our lifters have not competed in any lifting competition prior to lifting in an Xpand Your Limits, while others have competed in multiple high-level, sanctioned and/or elite events. Xpand Your Limits Meets are the perfect opportunity to step outside of your comfort zone, build confidence in competition, meet other women, inspire and cheer each other on, and compete for a cause - no matter your level.

Anyone under the age of 18 must have a legal guardian present.

Mighty & Mini: <14 years of age & any experience level (must have guardian present)

Teen: 13-17

Young Adult: 18-29

Adult: 30-44

Masters: 45-59

Golden: 60+

THE LIFTING MEET

This is a Paragraph Font

  • 3 Main Lifts: Lifters will compete in squat, bench, and deadlift in a powerlifting meet-style manner.

  • 3 Attempts: Each lifter will have 3 attempts at both lifts to reach their maximum lift on each movement

  • Total Score Combined: The highest lift of EACH lift will be combined for the scoring

  • All women of All Levels: We've had ages 7 to 72 years old and women lifting the bar to 500+lbs

FOR THE ONE

For the One is inspired by Luke 15—the story of leaving the ninety-nine to go after the one. At every XYL event, we partner with a local charity to ensure the strength built on the platform reaches beyond the room and into the life of someone who needs it. All the door fees goes directly to support that local charity.
