#25 Laisha Gardner: From Equipped to Raw to Collegiate Champ

On this episode I speak with Laisha Gardner! She won this years Collegiate Nationals in the 63kg weight class! And most recently made her debut in the 69kg weight class at the TBS Summer Open meet where she came out with a very competitive total and a competitive IPF score! We talk about how she started in equipped powerlifting at 14 years old, moved onto raw powerlifting in college, dealt with a controversial call that robbed her of a national deadlift record, and more!
