Summary

We just hosted a great big meet – maybe the largest local USAPL meet ever – and we’re beat so we’re slipping into Topic Thunder mode for a bit to recover our calm and our voices.

Topic Thunder episodes are short, sometimes rant-filled, panel discussions about a listener-submitted topic. In this episode, we discussed whether powerlifting has become almost too predictable and jokey to grab attention on social media.

Joe Stanek and Nico Flores of Gameday Barbell joined us in addressing this question. You can find Joe on TikTok @joegameday and Nico @nicoflores83kg on Instagram and TikTok
