The Metal Militia Club

​The Metal Militia Powerlifting Club is a globally recognized team dedicated to the sport of powerlifting. Founded by Bill Crawford, the club emphasizes a distinctive approach to training, focusing on technique, teamwork, and the effective use of powerlifting gear. Our philosophy centers around fostering a supportive environment where lifters can achieve their maximum potential through disciplined training and mutual support.

​

Historically, Metal Militia has been instrumental in advancing bench press techniques, particularly in the use of bench shirts. Bill Crawford's innovative methods have significantly influenced powerlifting training regimens. Over the years, the club has expanded its reach, establishing chapters worldwide, each led by hand-selected presidents who embody our passion and dedication to the sport. ​

​

At Metal Militia, we stand for more than just lifting weights; we are a brotherhood and family united by our commitment to powerlifting. Our training style is characterized by high-intensity, high-volume workouts that prioritize proper form and the strategic use of equipment to enhance performance. We believe in the power of community and have a history of supporting lifters in need, having contributed over $100,000 to various charities and individuals within the powerlifting community. ​
