ABOUT US

Two barbells,
one relationship

It started with a shared gym membership and turned into a life together — and a podcast, because apparently our arguments about macros were too funny not to record. Every week we get the mic out and talk lifting, love and everything in between.

Meet the lifters in love

Are you ready for a side-splitting, weightlifting-infused dose of comedy? Look no further — Powerlifter James and Weightlifter Lianne take you through the ups and downs of their life, relationship and lifting. Expect gym fails, PB triumphs, and the odd argument about who racked the plates wrong. Don't miss an episode of this one-of-a-kind podcast that'll leave you laughing, lifting and inspired.

💪 POWERLIFTER

James

Chases big total numbers and bigger laughs. Believes a joke isn't funny unless it's mid-set. Once tried to propose a training split during an actual date — Lianne said yes anyway.

🏋️ WEIGHTLIFTER

Lianne

Snatches PBs and comebacks with equal ease. The one keeping James in check — on the platform and off it. Founder of the podcast's unofficial motto: "power everything."
