Our Partners

We work with a small number of brands that meet our editorial and quality standards. Every partnership is earned — not purchased. Before we enter any affiliate or referral relationship, the brand's products must pass our testing protocol and meet our transparency requirements.

Partnership Criteria

To partner with Powerlifting Programs, a brand must meet the following:

• Product quality — Products must perform well in our real-world testing by competitive powerlifters.
• Transparency — Supplement brands must provide certificates of analysis (COAs) from third-party labs. Gear manufacturers must disclose materials and manufacturing details.
• No editorial control — Partners may not review, edit, or approve our content before publication. Our editorial independence is non-negotiable.
• Fair pricing — We do not promote products with inflated pricing designed to fund large affiliate commissions.

Supplements

• Performance Lab — Premium sport supplements with clean formulations, third-party testing, and transparent labeling.
• HugeSupp — High-dose, research-backed formulations designed for strength athletes.
• Naturecan — Quality-focused supplements with extensive third-party lab testing and COA transparency.
• Pure Himalayan — Mineral and recovery supplements with verified sourcing and lab-tested purity.
• Persona — Personalized supplement solutions with evidence-based formulation.

Gear

We are currently evaluating gear partnerships with manufacturers of squat shoes, knee sleeves, belts, and competition accessories. Announcements will be made here as partnerships are finalized. Our gear partners will be held to the same standards as our supplement partners.

A Note on Selectivity

We reject more partnership offers than we accept. If a brand does not meet our testing and transparency standards, we will not recommend their products — regardless of the commission rate offered. Our readers trust us to be honest, and that trust is the foundation of everything we do.
