  • Best podcast ever! Thank you!

    I’ve been following this podcast since I started Powerlifting 3 years ago. But today I have to thank you. Leaving work an hour later, tired and stressed, the Episode of the -120kg worlds recap set me up for my training session during the hour journey to the gym. Thank you so much! Fun, fresh, funny, exciting, about people and powerlifting!!! 🖤

  • Unrivalled sports podcast.

    There’s really no equal in sports podcasting, which might seem odd when you consider it’s dedicated to a niche sport.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Anthony McNaughton redeems at Worlds, takes aim at Sheffield and Keenan Lee, addresses 1000 kilos
Q: What's the mental approach going into potential rematches with Sheffield?
The emphasis is on self-improvement, maintaining focus on one's own progress, and not letting rivalry derail pacing or training intensity; the 'defense mode' versus 'offense mode' analogy is used to frame the mindset shift.

Q: What were the key strategic decisions behind the attempted world-record lifts?

Alba Bostrom on her reign, competitors, how she mentally leveled up, and more!
Q: How did rule changes affect your bench strategy at the open world championships?
I kept the opener light to avoid depth and judging issues, then adjusted based on how the calls looked and what the referees deemed acceptable, aiming to put something on the board and build the total gradually.
