Female powerlifter faces 2-year suspension from the Canadian Powerlifting Union 'BREAKING: I now face a 2-year ban by the CPU for speaking publicly about the unfairness of biological males being allowed to taunt female competitors & loot their winnings,' said April Hutchison. www.rebelnews.com This kind of thing frustrates me, men taking over women’s sports should be illegal. We shouldn’t even have to have this discussion. I’m all for a completely separate category for Trans athletes, but anyone male who has gone through their transition post puberty has a definite advantage in wome ..read more

What belt are you guys using? I want to switch to a lever belt from prongs. Inzer is available in Canada, but I hate their sizing, it’s a scam. Each size is only 4 inches in variance, so they want you to outgrow it and buy another one as your body changes. Iron Bull on Amazon looks decent for the price ..read more

My lower back always use to be my achilles heel. Before I started into powerlifting I use to have my back go out every 3 months or so and it would take 1 - 3 weeks to get it feeling good again. Even the chiropractor could not work the impingement out all that well. Once I started powerlifting I tried a number of exercises to strengthen the lower back and the posterior chain and the one I found helped the most and increased my squat significantly was bent leg good mornings with a straight...
