Why and what
This is my Powerlifting Blog. The sub-title, “powerlifting my way to the unknown is a sort of serious joke. Actually, powerlifting came into my life in a very unexpected way. Until about six months ago I hardly knew what the sport was about. Today I wouldn’t be exaggerating if I said it is the central part of my life. It goes way beyond training, competing, winning or even a life-style. It encompasses a real life-project. It is through powerlifting, and the person who introduced me to it, who backs me unconditionally and makes my dreams come true - my best friend and coach Gilson Clemente - that I can finally envision a manner of making a difference in the world. In giving a minute, minuscule and however great (because it is all I can) push towards a better, fairer, happier, world where a true brotherhood of men and women act together to support each other. This is what Powerlifting gave me: HOPE. I write about this hope and also about the small little things of a powerlifter’s life … food, bad days, good days, disks smashing fingers, etc. Have fun, leave a comment, keep in touch!
