In this week's Strength Chat, it was an absolute pleasure to be joined by a New Zealand and Commonwealth champion who holds the current squat world record of 223.5kg, Karlina Tongotea. It was awesome to be able to chat with Karlina after not long ago seeing her compete at Sheffield 2023 which was a great event. In this episode we chatted about competing in the first competition of its kind at Sheffield, how she has then transitioned into prepping for worlds, as well as her journey in powerlifting up until this point.
