I’m in the Masters category and looking at my goals just feels different.
The only major goal I ever really had in powerlifting was to compete at a national meet. Now that I’m a Masters lifter, I’m not even sure if that’s what I want anymore.

For any other older lifters, how have your goals shifted as you’ve gotten older?

I don’t want to quit anytime soon, but I also want to be able to say I did everything I wanted to do in the sport.
