On this episode of 2 White Lights, we interviewed one of the most prominent 93 kg lifters in the USAPL Chance Mitchell (@chancemitchellpbc). We discussed his opinion on the current landscape of Raw Nats, his opinions on the current state of powerlifting, what changes he'd like to see (realistic changes/"pipe dream"s), what keeps him motivated to continue to compete, and what legacy he'd like to leave behind in powerlifting. We also play a very interesting game of "Word Association" which we discuss steroids and straps. I also ask him to give his "powerlifting rating" and we finish up with a very long conversation about anime.
