The Champ’s Corner: Reflecting on the 2019 U.S. Masters Nationals

Last week over 800 Masters athletes from around the country converged on Salt Lake City, Utah to compete in the annual national competition. This event took four full days with athletes ranging from 35 years old to 87 years old. The level of experience also widely varied, from first time competitors to very experienced ones. As this was my first big weightlifting competition, I was excited to take it all in and learn as much as possible.
