Outside of tracking weight attempts and lifter sequence, most of my job was hyping them up and cheering them on. And boy I sure can hype. Now I’m hoarse and exhausted but my heart is so full supporting this community.
Powerlifting never really appealed to me but in this context I saw so much personal joy from folks demonstrating their training and chasing personal records. And that was inspiring! I also realized that lifting is not so much about muscle/body size as it is strength.
