I think you are confusing with bodybuilding dear.

Powerlifting is three main lifts: squat, deadlift, and bench. If you are in MD check out the MD powerlifting page for some local gyms and groups. There are a couple of active oly lifting groups in Columbia area.

If you want online training there are a few people on IG you can follow. [/quote]

I meant to add, I am happy to make recommendations if you are interested. [/quote]

Thank you!  So I'm hoping to add this to my weekly workout regiment, so just once or twice a week. Will this still allow me to get good benefits?  And can I get a good workout in in less than an hour?  When I used to go to the gym (I have my own home gym now), I saw a lot of powerlifters socializing and with long pauses between reps.  Not opposed to doing that of course, I just can't as I need to be super efficient about getting workouts into my schedule.

Would love IG recommendations![/quote]

Well you can definitely add in powerlifting lifts but powerlifting is usually split upon 3-4 workouts. One for each lift plus accessory work and then an accessory + abs day. Some people train 2x for squat but those are mostly competitors. Ive thrown in a few accounts that may not do powerlifting specifically but that lift heavy as it seems that the latter is what you may be looking for. Oly lifting is highly technical and Ive added an account I follow for oly lifting.

Here are some helpful accounts:
https://www.instagram.com/bonschro/ - ex-powerlifter who still lifts heavy 
https://www.instagram.com/lauren_kanski/ - kettlebell specific
https://www.instagram.com/mattierogersoly/- Oly lifter. mostly her lifting content 
https://www.instagram.com/mrs.sweendogg/ - heavy lifting/strong AF account 
https://www.instagram.com/sharellegrant/ - more fitness/bodybuilding type but she has programming help available and does lift legs heavy
https://www.instagram.com/savvysavit/- actual IPF powerlifter [/quote]
