Avi wins the Arnold!

03/15/23 • 45 min

Our own Avi Lieu took the top spot in the women’s professional portion of the USAPL meet at the Arnold!
But what does it really mean to be a pro? What could federations do to make the pro rank more prestigious and more financially feasible?
Avi and her coach, Michael Kieu, joined us in Columbus the day after the meet to break down these questions, and to reflect on the experience of preparing for and winning the meet.
You can find Avi on Instagram at @avi.lieu and Michael at @kieulogram.

What does the perfect powerlifting federation look like for you?

Deadlift bar or stiff bar? Twenty-four hour weigh-in or two-hour weigh-in? Owned by lifters or owned by an individual?
