Women of Powerlifting is not just another podcast; it's a movement.

In a world where strength is often misunderstood and underestimated, this podcast sets out to redefine what it truly means to be strong, especially through the lens of women's experiences.

By sharing stories of overcoming obstacles, embracing powerlifting, and silencing that inner critic, Women of Powerlifting inspires listeners to A.I.M - to Act, Inspire, and Motivate themselves to dominate. Join us on this journey of empowerment, where strength knows no bounds, and the only limits are the ones we set for ourselves.

But what exactly is powerlifting?

It's a strength sport that involves three main lifts: squat, bench press, and deadlift. Unlike bodybuilding, where the focus is on aesthetics, powerlifting is all about lifting the heaviest weight possible for one rep. It requires not only physical strength but also mental fortitude and discipline.

Not only does powerlifting build physical strength, but it also builds mental strength. The determination needed to conquer a heavy weight translates into other areas of life, making powerlifters some of the most resilient and confident individuals.

One inspiring example is Jen Thompson, a world record-holding powerlifter who has broken barriers for women in the sport. She started powerlifting in her 30s and has since become one of the most dominant forces in the sport, proving that age is just a number.

But it's not just about breaking records and winning competitions. Powerlifting also provides a sense of community and support among its participants. Women in the sport encourage and motivate each other, creating a strong network of empowered females.

What to expect in our podcast?

Through interviews with top female powerlifters and experts in the field, Women of Powerlifting delves into topics such as training methods, nutrition, mindset, competition experiences, and the importance of inclusivity and diversity in the sport.

Our viewers and followers will also learn about the history of powerlifting for women and how it has evolved over time. From its beginnings as a male-dominated sport to now having multiple weight classes and opportunities for female athletes at all levels, powerlifting continues to break barriers and inspire women across the world.

Whether you're a seasoned powerlifter or someone interested in starting their journey in strength training...

Women of Powerlifting provides valuable insights, tips, and motivation from strong and inspiring women who have found empowerment through lifting heavy weights. So don't be afraid to step into the powerlifting world – you never know what kind of strength you'll discover within yourself.
