On this episode of 2 White Lights, Garrett Fear and Sean Noriega join Steve DeNovi and I to discuss their opinions on the recent issues with USAPL Raw Nationals and we give our takes on the 2WL Topic of the Week, "What factors will cause USAPL lifters to join the USPA". Garrett also gives some details on the drug tested USPA meet he is running for lifters who may not get a chance to compete at Raw Nats and Sean/Garrett share their "Lifter Ratings".

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.
