    Fellow female here who started out 9 months ago working on weightloss (I was very obese despite being a somewhat decent athlete in high school and my first year of college, weird I know) through the process, I've lost 85lbs and counting and have fallen in love with powerlifting. It's given me confidence and discipline at a time when I really needed both. Just want to say I've really enjoyed a few of your videos and you can bet I'll be subbing! I enjoy watching a lot of male powerlifters on here but sometimes it's hard to relate so it is so refreshing to find another kick ass lifter who just happens to be a girl. Looking forward to more content!

      Delato Thanks for this. I agree, the TH-cams needs more strong wiminz. Congrats on the weight loss, I met a woman at my last competition from Maryland who also lost 85# and made a killer 385# deadlift look easy. Such strong!

    FINDING YOUR CHANNEL JUST MADE MY LYFEEE. I did meets in high school (just graduated) and I went to state and took second week. But I wanna continue in college and doing bigger meets, and watching you has motivated me and made me miss meets so much. You're awesome. Stay awesome.

    As a strongish guy, what lip gloss should I wear for training if I want to pack it for a meet to keep it as homely as possible?

    • @Megsquats
      @Megsquats  9 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      ebscoHOST Sephora has a nice option that adapts to the pH of your lips to create a pinkish tone

    You deserve more views. chelsealifts gets 10 times the views you do but you're much stronger and funnier. I think people just don't know about your channel yet, need some shoutouts or something.

  • @sabiner941
    @sabiner941 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    what i would add on the list:
    - a towel and some shower gel in case i want to take a shower after the meet before heading home
    - if it's cold i would also bring some sweat pants and a jacket which i would wear e.g. in the pause between squat and bench
    - if it's the first meet it's also good to check, if the equipment is approved by your federation (the approved lists can be found online)
    that's it i guess :)
    and thank you for your channel meg, i really get a lot of motivation out of it :)

    • @Megsquats
      @Megsquats  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      ***** Good idea, I'll find some approved lists for equipment. Thank you :-)

    This channel is very very cool. You have a gorgeous girl with a smoking hot body (with all due respect) that power lifts. Not only does she power lift but she could prolly do relatively well in the Mens division. Dont see to much of this on TH-cam.
    And. 11:03 and onwards is like the most amazing thing ever hahahaha

    • @Megsquats
      @Megsquats  9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      shotput4life TY my friend. Although I would have to disagree about the mens division. Maybe one day.

    I'm not gonna even question that ending....... *sips tea* that's none of my business.
    ok these questions are for USAPL/IPF comps.
    1.) does it have to be underwear like that? I like to wear boxer briefs. Like can you just wear whatever undies you want as long as it doesn't show underneath the singlet? Or strictly tidy whiteys?
    2) what brand belt and thickness did u get? I've been researching and I was leaning towards a Titan single prong but heard that Inzer is much more stiff. All belts of any kind are legal, am right or wrong?
    3) have u ever tried benching with oly shoes before? To me it looks like u would get a tad more leg drive since you're heels are elevated underneath the bench.

      shit thanks brah. Didn't know it was that extensive

    • @Megsquats
      @Megsquats  9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Russel Nguyen
      1.) I think guys are ok with white briefs, but cannot actually have a leg, so boxer briefs might not be ok. There are measurements outlined in USAPL rulebook
      2.) I have an Inzer Double prong. I don't know much about Titan, but Alanna Casey is all about Titan wraps
      3.) Yes I used to bench in weightlifting shoes, but made the switch to chucks. Trying it out, so far I feel a little more leg drive with a flat shoe
