In Episode 87, I’m joined by Joseph Whittaker, a father of two and elite powerlifter. Back in 2013–2014, I first met Joseph when we competed at IPF Powerlifting meets here in New Zealand. He’s continued competing ever since, recently taking the platform at the Big Dogs Powerlifting Meet, where he totalled an impressive 1055kg.
We talk about his upbringing playing sports alongside 40 cousins, how his strength was an advantage from a young age, and his transition from tested to untested powerlifting. Joseph also shares how as an untested lifter he keeps a close eye on his health while using exogenous hormones, and how he and his partner balance competing with raising a 16-month-old.
I really appreciated Joseph’s honesty, humour, and the way he shared his story so openly. I hope you enjoy the episode!
