Chealsea Enemor is the +84kg High School and Sub-Junior National Champion and Best Lifter. She’ll be making her debut on the US National Team at the Sub-Junior World Championships in Romania on September 2, where she’ll be in a close battle with fellow Sub-Junior phenom Luella Bowden. Between the two of them we could see multiple World Records fall. Like some of the other young lifters we’ve interviewed, Chealsea is wise beyond her years. She gives insightful analysis on some current topics in Powerlifting and attempt selection breakdowns that you would only expect from a savvy veteran. The Sub-Juniors these days are just different. Listen to this one and tune in to cheer her on at the World Championships.
