Joe Jackson, better known as Delco Jesus, is a 140 kg raw powerlifter, coach, and member of the Delco Spotting Crew from just outside Philadelphia. After battling depression, dropping over 100 pounds, and even going through a period of homelessness, Joe found powerlifting and never looked back.

With best competition lifts of 826 lb squat, 463 lb bench, and 744 lb deadlift for a 2017 lb total at 308, he's competed on big stages like American Pro, Ghost Clash, IPL North Americans, and ABS Series meets. Along the way he's become known for his faith-driven "Delco Jesus" persona, his honesty about mental health, and his willingness to give back by spotting, loading, and helping other lifters chase their own numbers.

Jon Grove — North Georgia Barbell founder, APF Georgia State Chairman, WPC Junior World Champion, and true powerlifting lifer.

Jon competed in powerlifting for 20 years (1990–2010), lifting in the first monolift meet in history and the very first WPO meet. He's a multi-time national and world champion, owner of the legendary North Georgia Barbell (2002–2013), and a self-described amateur historian of the sport. After 33 years on gear, a hip replacement, and decades in the APF trenches, Jon now writes about powerlifting history, injuries, PEDs, and what it really means to be "all in" for a fringe sport.

David "Dumptruck Dave" Raymond is a 34-year-old father, stepfather, and grandfather from a small town in Illinois, and one of the strongest 165-lb lifters in the world.

He started as a 148-lb lifter, becoming one of the first Americans to squat 600+ pounds at that bodyweight, then moved up to 165, where he squatted 705 pounds and deadlifted 716 pounds in the same meet. Along the way, he's competed at marquee shows like The American Pro and Power Surge Pro/Am, all while insisting powerlifting is "just a hobby."
