PowerCast episode originally released Apr 9, 2014.

Can powerlifting be reinvented to appeal to large mainstream audiences? The NPFL (National Pro Fitness League) has tweaked the concept of “functional fitness” competition to create a series of well-packaged events for big, mainstream TV audiences. We kick around some ideas about how powerlifting could try to do something similar. Then we bring on Drew Canavero to provide an athlete’s perspective on the first NPFL combine and how big a role strength will play in the actual team competition.

Mark Bell, Mike Farr, and Jim McDonald host. @silentmikke @thejimmcd
