    I think about this series, and specifically the "It takes an unhappy, unusually motivated individual" quote more and more in recent times. Hits at my soul.

      This series was made by a powerlifter, for us powerlifters. A regular dude who gave an incredible gift to us other regular dudes, who are living in a prison inside of our own minds… where the only key is the bar, and the iron upon it.

    I had to build my own garage gym because I go to places in my mind most can't and I start crying. Like a weird rage filled extra watery eye cry. And I just can go temporarily insane for a few moments as I dance with the weight. It's a beautiful amazing thing and I'm sorry for people that don't have that experience.

      Crying while lifting yeah I definitely had that experience many many times. Doing push-ups until the tears burned my face. For some reason crying literally made me stronger..... I don't know how to explain it but it just works

    I’m 39 . I still lift 4 times a week and my workouts used to be this intense . But I’ve leaned up in the past few years , dropped weight , look better , but don’t lift quite as much . Bench dropped from nearly 500 to just a little over 400. This video kinda made me sad . Knowing those days are probably over for me

    Great video. Just disagree with one quote where a guy says it doesnt matter if your on gear, have the best equipment ect
    Of course it matters.. equally as much as whats inside, most if not all record holders have used the best kit, and taken gear. Powerlifting when used as a competitive sport, everything that can add lbs makes a difference.. 1lb can be the difference between going down in the books and being forgotten. He is clearly a gh and steroid user having spouting that bull.

      Small people lifting smaller weights are not interesting.

      Nastgardaren while you’re not necessarily wrong there’s a large audience demanding more female powerlifting content. You’re a guy so you wouldn’t watch a girl to get motivated and I totally get that :)
