Summary

We catch up with one of our favorite lifters from one of our favorite eras of powerlifting, Pete Rubish. We chat about adapting to drug-free lifting, how powerlifting has grown and changed in the last decade, and how it feels to no longer be one of the young, up-and-coming lifters. We also get Pete’s thoughts on three years of owning a gym, and what impresses him when evaluating young lifters in his gym.

Pete’s on Instagram at @pete.rubish and his website koa-strong.com
