Many of the Powerlifting federations are ruling on transgender athletes participation in sport recently. Powerlifting is about the betterment of self by the means of competition, discipline in training (not motivation) and the camaraderie of friends who love the discipline of the barbell. To not allow these athletes to test themselves in competition is against one of the main principles of our sport....competition. What is more embarrassing; losing to a stronger powerlifter who is of the opposite gender or losing to the skinny, tooth pick legged athlete that out pulls you by 180 pounds to win the total! Shame shameđ. Youâre just afraid to lose and for that you will never really win. you are still my hero!! Do you! There are some of us in this sport who are still not afraid to lose. Oh!!! You all need to see this movie!! You can make all your comments on the subject below but I will not respond to negativity or debate the topic. I know where I stand....Iâm not afraid to lose.
