In Episode 8 of In the Rack, we’re stepping away from the platform and into the mindset of a Meet Director. Running a powerlifting meet is more than just shouting "Squat!"—it’s a high-stakes balancing act of logistics, athlete safety, and split-second decision-making.

I’m breaking down the raw experience of directing my first meet, covering everything from the pre-flight jitters of the volunteers to the adrenaline of the final heavy pulls. If you've ever wondered what happens behind the curtain to keep the plates moving and the white lights shining, this episode is for you.

As a busy dad, I’ve been there—juggling work, family, and fitness can feel impossible. But here’s what I learned: prioritizing health isn’t just for parents; it’s essential for anyone with a hectic schedule.

Ever wonder what it’s like to step onto the powerlifting platform for the first time? Here’s my story:

I started lifting long ago but didn’t dive into powerlifting until I was around 30. My first meet was the Maple City Classic, and let me tell you, it was a game-changer.

Walking into that room filled with like-minded lifters was intimidating but exhilarating. Everyone was there to support each other, and that camaraderie is what keeps me coming back.
