Description

In this episode I had the opportunity to speak with Mark MacQueen, 2017 IPF World Champion in the 120kg+ weight class. We discussed a lot in the episode, ranging from Mark’s personal experiences in Powerlifting and how he started in the sport to what he underwent to become IPF World Champion and what it truly takes to succeed at the highest level in any sport. We also discussed his transition away from competing in Powerlifting to losing 40kg/90lbs in bodyweight and starting BJJ, leading him to winning the IBJJF European Championships. 

I personally really enjoyed this conversation, particularly regarding the more philosophical/psychology based topics we delved into.

I hope you enjoy this episode too.
