The powerlifting bug. We all get it eventually. When we get under the barbell and train consistently we start to wonder “when should I do a powerlifting meet?” The problem is that doubt starts to creep in and you think:

“I’m not strong enough.”

“I don’t want to lose.”

“I’m not ready yet.”

But the truth of the matter is, it doesn’t matter.

If you’re thinking about doing a powerlifting meet it means it’s time to do one.

There are no prerequisites other than reading the rule book and being somewhat familiar with executing the movements.

The goals of your first powerlifting meet are to have fun and get your feet wet. So drop the pressure and get signed up.

In this episode of the PRS podcast, PRS Clinical Coaches Dr. Rori Alter, PT, Dr. Alyssa Haveson, PT, and Dr. John Petrizzo, PT talk about their very first, and very different, experiences and motivations surrounding their first powerlifting meets.

Just remember: we all start somewhere!
