Competitions are a great way to add a little spice to your life. Someone always has bigger biceps than you or more followers on Instagram, but there’s one thing that’s never out of reach: winning the competition.
But some competitions cost more than others, and these cost a lot more money. Here’s how to get ahead in those events:
- The Nationals
The nationals have always been my favorite competition. They usually have a lot of prize money, and it’s a great way to show off to all the other lifters in your area. The nationals are also great for many other reasons, including:
-It’s held every year
-You get to see tons of old friends, who you don’t usually get to see throughout the year.
-You can show off your new lift to people who might not have seen you compete before.
Benefits of Free Competitions:

Conclusion:
The truth is, competitions are not hard. There are plenty of ways to be competitive, and most of them cost next to nothing. So let’s say you want to win the powerlifting competition at your gym. Instead of going out and buying an expensive bar, purchasing a competition bar might be more affordable. And instead of paying for travel, you can rent the gym for the day. These are just two examples of how you can truly be the best at what you love without spending a lot of money.
