Clay Cooper: @DiscoveryDeadlift, Creativity, and Powerlifting Through Anxiety

Mar 29, 2023

As far as doing hard things goes, Clay Cooper has got it down. He’s a dad with a full time job who spends his free time deadlifting in nature. He started @discoverydeadlift in 2020 when powerlifting proved to be more than just an outlet for him to change his mental and physical health. Since then, he's hiked and deadlifted in over 180 unique locations across 10 states with his wife and kids. Clay joined host Andrew Vontz to talk about stereotypes surrounding anxiety and depression and how embracing our passions and doing difficult things can transform us into stronger versions of ourselves. With international plans already in the works for 2023, it's clear that Clay's journey is far from over. To see more from Clay, check out @discoverydeadlift on Instagram and TikTok or this week's show notes.
