BEHIND THE BARBELL

In a world of early classes and late-night lifts, two MSU students chase strength BEHIND the barbell. This short documentary steps inside the weight room and beyond, capturing how they push through injury, juggle school and training, and find purpose in a tight-knit powerlifting club that’s more like family.
