PART 2! TIFPL put a call out on Instagram to find out what YOU guys wanted to hear us talk about, and we had a bunch of fantastic, thoughtful questions in response.

This time, it is about the feels. Episode 7 is a subjective discussion of the positives and negatives of comparison and creeping your competition; is social media destroying you or driving you? We talk realistically about when it can be beneficial, detrimental, or just downright irrelevant. We also explore lifting self-esteem through injury or downtime, and the importance of cutting yourself some slack and celebrating the small stuff. Hosts this episode are Beans, Danielle, Liz and Darron.

Take four dirtbag powerlifters, two angel powerlifters (to balance it out) and a five minute timer that signals when it's time for whiskey shots and you have the worst thing we've ever done. The best thing we've ever done? Sorry mum. Sorry everyone. 3:07 Topic 1: STUPID...

Our first podcast guest, international level IPF powerlifter Dani Savoie (now Martin!) regales us with tales from her experience at the recent 2016 IPF Open World Championships, the fun and not so fun parts of equipped lifting, what it's like to run a meet, and gives us the inside scoop on what it's really like to date and marry another powerlifter.
