Powerlifting Podcast with Unique Flavor and Character

“That which is of the most value lasts the longest.”

What Wade and Chris understand (but some podcasters seem to forget) is that lifting can become more fulfilling—even more beautiful—as we age. Yes, PR totals and the latest world records will always kindle enthusiasm, but the ‘why’ behind our training better lie deeper than the trends and hype if we are to stick with the grind for the long haul.

Masters in powerlifting (both age-wise and in terms of deep proficiency) bring to the table something different than the 1-5 year enthusiast: a deep knowledge of and reverence for the intrinsic benefits of a lifestyle of lifting. While pushing oneself to the max remains possible as we age (e.g., David Ricks squatting 716 for a double at 62), our ‘why’ may evolve. Meanwhile, the importance of community and connection is often more fully embraced by the seasoned SBD aficionado. These are the guests that Powerlifting Mastered features, and for good reason.

Let others dwell on the latest trash talk between rivals (which, admittedly, has its place to generate a younger following) as we savor the deeper notes of Wade and Chris’ banter. Truly committed lifelong lifters epitomize what it means to “rage against the dying of the light”; this podcast celebrates them and gives a voice to their noble efforts.

Great Podcast that fills a niche

Wade and Chris,
Thank you so much for this podcast. This powerlifting podcast fills a niche that has previously been ignored by other podcasts focused on powerlifting…the masters athlete. I greatly appreciate your content and perspective on powerlifting for those of us over the age of 40. Please continue to provide the outstanding content you have delivered to date! I always look forward to the next episode. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.
