Masters weightlifting provides opportunities for athletes, aged 35+, to compete at local, national or international level. 

The Australian Masters Weightlifting scene has flourished in recent years with growing numbers of older males and females continuing weightlifting as a lifelong activity or commencing the sport for the first time. There is a yearly AWF National Masters Championships, IWF World Masters Championship and every two years-World Masters Games. Masters athletes are finding it rewarding to continue to participate in sports for fun and at competitive levels.
