Hey y'all! Welcome back to TPIL!

Getting ready for your first powerlifting meet? In this episode, I’m breaking down the real prep tips that make a difference, beyond the generic “just get a coach” advice. From what to pack to what to expect (and what no one tells you), this is the cheat code to making your first meet smooth, stress-free, and fun. Whether you’re a first-timer or a coach helping someone through their debut, these are the small but mighty tips you don’t want to skip!
