#58: Roundtable talk: How Powerlifting Changed Our Lives
Jun 24, 2022
Hey y'all! Today I have 3 amazing women on the podcast: Maria Doheny, Winnie Abramson and Amy Schmidt. These women and I get into an excellent discussion about the positive impact that powerlifting has had on their lives, what they like and do not like about powerlifting social media influencers, what they did not expect to receive from the sport that surprised them, and more!
What I love about this episode is that we can really learn a lot from this conversation as it was inspiring and will push more people to get a barbell in their hands because ANYONE can be a powerlifter with a gym membership and some determination.
