Episode notes

Chris Duffin sits down with the remarkable powerlifting virtuoso, Brianny Terry. Celebrated for her impressive lifts and consistency, Brianny opens up about her recent meet where she almost quit but instead rediscovered her love for the sport by lifting for fun.

We explore not just her athletic achievements, but the values ingrained from her military family upbringing, her struggle and triumph in defining her identity beyond sports, and her steadfast commitment to mental and physical strength. Brianny shares profound insights into the pressures of social media, the importance of adaptability, and her evolving views on strength and femininity in powerlifting.

From her meticulous training regimens and mental recovery techniques to her ambitions and personal philosophies, Brianny's story is a testament to resilience. She also discusses the supportive nature of the powerlifting community and the balance between competition and camaraderie.

Brianny Terry, a determined and resilient athlete, recently participated in her first FQ meet despite facing significant challenges just ten days before the event. During her preparation, she struggled with a 622-pound deadlift, failing twice—once due to strength and once due to her grip. The second failure resulted in a ripped hand, leading Brianny to doubt her chances of setting a new record. Though discouraged, she ultimately decided to continue, motivated by the support of her friends and the desire to experience the meet. Brianny's journey is a testament to her perseverance and determination in the face of adversity.
