    Josh and Lara discussed recent powerlifting competition results, including individual performances and team awards from various meets, though they noted limitations in their ability to fully analyze the team data due to time constraints. They previewed the upcoming National Championships where seven lifters from their community will compete, including Gwen Cook, Scott Berryman, Kenny Wright, Alicia Webb, Cindy Jaeger, Kevin Cegan, and Olivia Erling. The conversation covered USA Powerlifting's decision to eliminate the "Prime Time" qualification period, which resulted in more competitors being able to qualify but also reaching capacity limits, with Josh expressing mixed feelings about the change. They also discussed proper etiquette around filming lifts in the gym, debated whether lifters should continue recording when asked to stop, and shared information about a phone holder product called "Stick It To Me" designed for powerlifters. The episode concluded with Lara sharing plans to take a freediving class as a recreational activity, and they agreed to record a recap episode about Nationals after the competition.

    Ep. 245 - How to Select the National Team

    We are sad to report that Greg Page has passed away today, 5/13. This episode was recorded prior to finding out about Greg's passing.

    In this episode, Josh and Lara discussed several powerlifting-related topics. They covered the selection process for the U.S.A. Powerlifting team for IDFPA Worlds, with Josh advocating for alternates to be selected based on DOTS points rather than just the next best total in each weight class. They also talked about upcoming coach certification courses, with deadlines of May 14th for both the online Club Coach certification and the in-person National Coach Certification. Josh provided an update on the Minnesota lawsuit settlement involving transgender athlete J.C. Cooper, though specific details about the settlement were limited. Josh and Lara reminded listeners about an ongoing call for submissions of uplifting songs, with a May 16th deadline. They concluded by discussing proper coaching practices, including a scenario about handling multiple lifters at the same meet, and shared a tip about treating the first rep in a set like it's a meet situation.
