The United States Powerlifting Coalition has set the standard for a federation which has wholly dedicated themselves to providing the very best experience for the lifter possible, and subsequently, they are one of the fastest growing federations in the country.

Today, on The Impossible Podcast, USPC CEO Johnny Layne and Monsters Bent Barbell Owner Clayton Workman join us to discuss their journey in Powerlifting, and how those experiences have shaped them coming together to build the first, all-inclusive Para Division for adaptive lifters in Powerlifting.

And this summer, they will be hosting the world’s first Para-Only Meet.

Join us to learn more about how they are pioneering this division, their goals for what this division can provide to adaptive athletes, and most of all, what we can all learn from the Strength these adaptive athletes have built through Facing the Impossible in their lives.

And don’t miss the first ever Para-Only meet, coming summer 2025.

**If you know any adaptive athletes who would be interested in competing, or any companies interested in sponsoring athletes, please reach out to [email protected]**

Thank you for listening, and as always…Be Impossible!

Allison Berry was diagnosed with a rare form of Rhabdomyosarcoma, and battled through surgery, chemotherapy, and worst of all, radiation.

Emerging triumphant from this never-ending fight, she rebuilt her Life, rediscovered who she was; she got engaged, she made plans to return to school, she signed up to run the Columbus Marathon, reclaiming her athletic prowess.

Everything was perfect...

Until her Cancer returned.

Allie was devastated by this news, but rather than turn that passion and rage on those close to her, she decided this time would be different.  She was going to beat this, she was going to use this as an opportunity to fight and show others what true strength can be.  

And Allie showed up to that Marathon as a Patient Champion to deliver an empowering speech that left many of Team Impossible in tears, including Matt.

Now, on the cusp of defeating Cancer for a second time, Allie joins us on The Impossible Podcast to teach us the power of Gratitude, and how you can leverage it to bring Light to Life's Darkest moments.

Thank you for listening, and as always...Be Impossible!

We've all been in those moments where we feel our body has failed us.

Whether from tragic health diagnoses or failed athletic performance, there's times when the body leaves us feeling betrayed and empty.

There will be times when the body fails; it is inescapable.  Yet, the Mind, when used properly, has Potential far beyond the limitations of the body.

In this episode of The Impossible Podcast, Matt and Austin discuss their process in unlocking your most valuable asset: The Mind.

Whether the body has failed, or is in peak condition, the Mind can be leveraged to drive a level of performance that far exceeds what should be possible.

In this new series, as we build up to the release of our eBook, we give you the tools to unleash the power of you Mind to take control of your emotional and physical state in the face of any Challenge.

And build something truly Impossible from it.

Thank you for listening, and as always…Be Impossible!

This year, Team Impossible will be at the event, and we will be partnering with Monsters Bent Barbell and USPC to promote the world's FIRST Para-only Powerlifting meet taking place this summer 2025.

In honor of the Arnold Classic, we did a Q&A to answer your questions and get your input on the direction we're moving with this show.

In this episode, Matt gives answers to what wakes him up in the morning, his self care routine that is unlike anything you've heard before, and how to find joy in Life's seemingly smallest moments.

Thank you all for everything you do, and we hope to see you in Columbus this weekend!
