Sarah (who also goes by Shay) Robinson isn’t what you’d call a life-long fitness nut - in fact, quite the opposite. But a random (and auspicious) post on Tumblr completely changed how they think about fitness and strength.

In this chat, we talk being OK with being a beginner; MacGuyvering your own gym; setting your OWN goals; perfectionists in recovery; changing how you see your body; and so much more.

So find out why Sarah loves power lifting - and why you might learn to love it, too.
