Our long-time friend and teammate Marcus Sanadan joins us. We review some old lifting footage from not long after we all met and from his recent meet. Then we take Jonnie Candito’s recent video announcing his break with the USAPL as a jumping-off point for a discussion. We examine what we think is wrong with many current federations, and discuss how they might be addressed: Is it finally time to give up on powerlifting’s Olympic dream? Is consolidation among federations even possible, or are there too many differences that can’t be reconciled? Are federations or meet directors more responsible for the problems? Is the concept of “all-time records” something we just need to let go of? Are federations even necessary now? We lead off with the breaking news that the World's Strongest Man will be held in our city -- Sacramento, California -- for the next few years. The first is just a few months away in June 2021. Next month, we’re going to talk about the influence of the documentary “Pumping Iron” in an episode. send us your written comments or voice memos to [email protected].
