  • 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!!! 🖤

  • Low quality content

    If you wanna hear about how cool it is to be an elite athlete and how great the IPF and worlds are then listen to this. If you want real substance, look elsewhere
