Fantastic. I've been fortunate to teach many adult women to do the powerlifts for health and fitness, and it's so great to see them feeling strong and capable, and keeping track of what they lifted because they are proud of themselves. And I like being able to point out that for strength training, being heavier instead of skinny is an advantage. It's such a great, inspiring activity. I've been lifting for 19 years. I don't compete like you do (well, I participated in two meets in 2017), but lifting is so good for me that I'll never stop if I can help it.
This is so beautiful for so many different reasons but your dad showing a different type of strength by asking for your help is just…it’s a lot in the best way 💙Thank you for sharing this Poorna 🫶🏽
Thank you for sharing, Poorna. And huge respect to your Dad for being vulnerable with you. I’m sure his love for weightlifting will continue, with your support and guidance. And what a great way to bond over the sport you both adore, and the journeys you’ve been on.
