Esther Bae & Kanan Kasai join to discuss Powerlifting in Japan & South Korea.
Discussed are the cultural differences with western nations, how the Powerlifting stars (Russ/Heather Connor/Lya Bavoil/Jessica Buettner and others) of the west are perceived, the challenges the sport faces with growth due to language barriers, sponsorship and funding, Japanese/ South Korean gym etiquette, and how the new generation of lifters are making strides for progress and change.
