Kupperstein is veteran of USA Powerlifting (USAPL) and IPF competition. He earned the chance to represent the United States with his victory in the USAPL Men’s Nationals earlier this year. Kupperstein finished the day with a 235Kgs/518.1Lbs Squat, 127.5Kgs/281.1Lbs Bench Press, 245Kgs/540.1 Deadlift for a 607.5Kgs/1,339.3Lbs Total.
