It will probably be rated "R", due to the graphic violence and bad language. LOL

well see what the media does with the powerlifter image...big stupid roid rage oxen, or will they actually get into the gym and see they are real people (usually more balanced than most).

It will be interesting to see how powerlifters are perceived. I'm a little concerned because I've see the young girls lift in multi-ply gear. I hope the general public doesn't think that we all rely on gear to lift heavy, especially if they see little children all "geared up".

I think you are all in for a completely different show than you're imagining.

This is a really great development for powerlifting again. We should keep supporting this type of publicity. It's good for every type of lifting. Congratulations to the McCaslin family!

The timing for this is perfect. Our fall meet is on 10/11, so we are moving the weigh ins to the appointed meet hotel on Friday night so we can watch the airing with many of our friends and family in lifting.
We are going down to NY in the next few weeks to tape a Rachael Ray show as well. She is doing a show covering Wife Swap, and we were chosen to represent the show.
The show is about families. Powerlifting was a small part of it, yet a pretty big part. It is funny. It is silly......yet it was probably one of the coolest experiences of our lives. You honestly and truly do not realize how much you take your family and loved ones for granted, until they are taken away from you and you are put in a family situation that you would never be a part of. The 2 weeks of the swap, you are not allowed to contact anyone you know.
It definitely puts you on an emotional roller coaster, and as with anything else I do, I jumped in with both feet and "I lived it".
