To celebrate my 51st birthday, I signed up for Rockwell Barbell’s annual Midwest Challenge powerlifting meet. TLDR: I had an absolute blast and rediscovered my love of powerlifting as a sport. I was very happy with my meet results as well; I went 9/9 on lifts (the first time I’ve done that in a meet) and my lifts haven’t diminished with age as much as I thought they had–and in fact I set a competition personal record (or PR) at bench press.
