Italian 63kg sensation Carola Garra is our guest this week. We had a great chat about how she trains at such a high level for both raw and equipped lifting and what the future holds for her. While Carola doesn't speak english we were lucky enough to have her boyfriend Francisco translate for us!

Dean Bowring is our guest this week! Dean has been competing since 1993! And he's not just about the longevity, Dean won Open Worlds in 2009 in the SHW division. In recent years he's turned more to the coaching side of the sport due in part to injury but also it seems from a deep desire to give back to the sport he loves so much! Listen up!
