I used to associate weightlifting competitions with heavy metal, Red Bull, and a swarm of intimidating people screaming and hurling weights around. Now that I've entered my 1st oly comp, I know all of this is true except... the people are nice, there's no music, and you should steal as much "Apricot-Strawberry" Red Bull as you can.

Prior to this, I'd go to the gym for general fitness but I'd never truly had a "goal," so in my first podcast this year, I mentioned my New Year's resolution of entering my first competition & in today's episode, you get a beginner's view of what Olympic weightlifting is like!

Time Stamps:
01:25 - My reasons for doing it
07:55 - The atmosphere/ how an oly comp actually works
