[@Caddis496]

Stoked that I'm certain, CERTAIN that folks that see this that don't already lift on the regular will see the joy that can come from it. It's THE BEST one-player sport: it's just you vs gravity / you vs yesterday-you. And you get to watch that progress in tangible numbers. Setting that time aside for yourself, the dopamine hit of a PR, the moments of pure-meditative-focus mid-lift... it's a hell of an anti-depressant. So yeah, brothers and sisters and others, try it. Just... give yourself a couple months. Try it.

For all these strength competitions, you need to have a category that measures strength pound for pound against lifter’s weight. Naturally a bigger person will lift more so it’s already stacked against the smaller guys
