Affiliate Disclosure
Powerlifting Programs is a free resource. We do not charge readers for access to our articles, reviews, or training tools. To keep the site running and fund our editorial work, we participate in affiliate partnerships with select brands. This page explains how those partnerships work and what they mean for you.
How Affiliate Links Work
Some links on this site are affiliate links. When you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. These links are clearly identified on every page where they appear with an inline disclosure.
What This Means for Our Reviews
Affiliate commissions do not influence our editorial decisions. Our review methodology, testing protocols, and recommendations are determined independently by our editorial team. We frequently recommend products from brands we have no affiliate relationship with, and we publish critical assessments of partner products when testing warrants it. You can read more about our process in our editorial standards.
Our Partners
We maintain direct partnerships with a curated group of brands in two categories:
- Supplement brands — Companies that manufacture supplements relevant to strength athletes, including creatine, pre-workouts, protein, and recovery products.
- Gear manufacturers — Companies that produce powerlifting equipment such as squat shoes, knee sleeves, belts, and competition-approved accessories.
We only partner with brands whose products we would recommend regardless of any financial relationship. Every partner must meet our quality, transparency, and testing standards before we enter an agreement. We reject more partnership offers than we accept.
FTC Compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials, we disclose our affiliate relationships prominently on every page that contains affiliate links. If you have questions about our affiliate practices, contact us at hello@powerliftingprograms.com.
