I've been entrenched in the fabric of powerlifting as well as oly weightlifting for quite a while now, and it's not the usual "plateau" that's having me question the reasoning why I even got started in this and should I even continue, it's something else.
Thought about taking a break from powerlifting but ended up doing a few competitions which turned successful and that got me reignited for long enough to keep going further. Given the need to win at everything; otherwise it's worthless of effort; has been instilled in my dna, but even that isn't enough any longer.
It boils down to me being at a standstill with my own goals - but since PL isn't an olympic discipline yet, and with weightlifting being slowly pushed out (it seems) due to not garnering enough attention, money and sponsorship - there's really no other alternative to achieve more.
Personal PRs were such an amazing moment, but it gets boring when a person slowly, but surely keeps progressing. The proudest moments were getting through the begginer's hurdles, now it's so much self-expected, it doesn't even come across as a mile stone.
The only thing that really keeps me going/staying in this discipline, is training others - especially seeing the process of people overcoming their own limitations and going through the phases from starting points to attending competitions held in my region..
not sure if that says anything or screams something, but I just don't know where my place is any more within powerlifting..
