Despite being an active person, Kenneth Kaden Chin has never thought to lift heavy weights competitively until he stumbled upon a powerlifting competition at a local mall. Buoyed by the positivity shown by the crowd that’s very supportive to all the participants, he decided to give the sport a try. Now, he’s a powerlifting champion and the deputy president of the Malaysian Association for Powerlifting. Kenneth shares his journey in the sport and talks about the powerlifting scene in Malaysia, their trajectory moving forward and how the sport is not all about setting your best personal records.
