Streetlifting Australia Built to lift

Streetlifting Australia (SLA) is the national governing body dedicated to growing and developing the sport of Streetlifting across Australia. Built by athletes, for athletes, SLA provides professionally run competitions, clear standards, and pathways for competitors ranging from first-time lifters through to elite international-level athletes. 

Start by building a solid foundation with bodyweight movements like pull-ups, dips, squats, and muscle-ups. Once your technique is consistent, gradually introduce added weight using a dip belt or weighted vest. Focus on good form, controlled progression, and progressive overload rather than chasing heavy numbers too early. Start light, track your lifts, and steadily increase weight or reps over time. 

Athletes from any country and any Streetlifting organisation are welcome to compete, provided they meet the standards of their selected division. Competing with us does not prevent you from participating in other Streetlifting federations or events, with no exclusivity restrictions in place 

In street lifting, a national record is the highest officially recognised result achieved in a specific lift or overall total within a country, under the rules of that sport’s governing body. Records are typically recognised within divisions such as gender, weight class, and age category. 

To be eligible for an official Australian Record, an athlete must be either an Australian citizen or a permanent resident, as temporary visa holders are not eligible. The athlete must also record a valid result by successfully completing at least one attempt in each lift during the competition.
