Why do you powerlift?
This is a serious question for new lifters. When I say “New Lifter” I mean lifting competitively for a year or less and competed in 2 or less competitions. I would think that would classify you as a New lifter.
I’m curious not only as a coach but also as a competitive lifter myself how people will answer this. Once I compile the answers I will turn this into a long Article/Blog and talk about it in greater depth and detail. For now, leave your comments below, private message me or post on facebook.
In all seriousness though, the question is;
Why do you lift and what do you expect to achieve in your first few years competing?
Thank you for your input, I value your journey and opinion. If you wish to remain anonymous that is ok too. Your answer can be long, short, to the point or whatever you want, no holds bar here.
Stay tuned for my blog with the follow ups to this question I sincerely hope I get a good response with the amount of new lifters out there.

I think it goes hand in hand (at least with me) to be strong for power and strong to build my muscles. Also to prove I got what it takes and can compete with the best!
The real story: I got really spiteful after someone told me that I would never be in any position where I would be considered an athlete because I was week and too small and a female. I started hitting the gym when I was about 95 lbs. Didn't know what I was doing but was determined to prove them wrong. About 3 years later I fell in love with powerlifting and don't care about what people think anymore. I'm still a small person but seeing the look on someone's face when I say that im 120lbs and I can deadlift 335lbs is priceless ! Started because of an asshole that made me mad. Once I progressed enough I forgot about them and did it for myself.
