Welcome back to Muscles and Malarkey! In today’s episode, I’m joined by my good friend Kim—powerlifter, coach, referee, and all-around badass. We dive into the power of discovering strength training and how it can be life-changing, especially for women and young lifters. Kim shares what it’s like coaching kids and women in powerlifting, the joy of lifting alongside her own child, and why creating a safe, supportive environment is non-negotiable in and out of the gym.
We also talk about her experience as a powerlifting referee, what makes a great training partner or coach, and yes—we couldn’t resist diving into some gym etiquette reminders too. Whether you're new to the barbell or deep in the game, this conversation is full of wisdom, heart, and a few laughs along the way. Let’s get into it.
