Summary
On this episode of Iron Culture, we are joined by the strongest of them all: Amanda Lawrence. She currently tops the ranks of drug-tested raw powerlifting by coefficient using multiple formulae and is just weeks out from USAPL raw nationals where she hopes to further improve on her already mind-blowing total of 646kg at under 84kg. Join us as we discuss how she got into the sport, what she loves about the sport, her future in powerlifting, her experiences coaching and competing, and who she is outside of the gym. Also, listen in to find out who she calls out for a post-nationals posedown on Daytona Beach!

| 1:01.3 | No, Eric, it's, and I think if you could just briefly go over some of those numbers and the accomplishments, because Amanda spoke about it a little bit once again, which is super cool. |

| 1:29.9 | And again, at a very young age. |
| 1:32.0 | Yeah. |
