Today I sit down with competitive powerlifter, powerlifting and strength coach, and clinical research coordinator at the Geneiva Foundation in the Gate Lab, Claire Zai.

She shares with me what she does in the Gait Lab and some of her responsibilities.

Claire also tells me about her future plans and goals.

We discuss the basics of what competitive powerlifting is and how a competition is scored as well as some of the basic strategy.

Claire gives me a rundown on one of the topics she's passionate about: periods. And why taking periods into account matters in terms of women's strength training and competition.
