My true passion lies in powerlifting. It’s an extraordinary sport in that each competition
is a true measure of one’s progress. There isn't any lying, cheating, or blaming it on
someone else. There isn't any wondering about whether or not you've improved. You
either lift the weight or you don’t. It’s as simple as that.
I believe everyone should have the opportunity to compete. Unfortunately, many lifters
are completely misinformed, overwhelmed, and totally clueless in regards to where they
should begin.
“What Federation should I join?” “How do I choose my opening attempts?” “Why do I
have to wear that silly looking one-piece?”
