On this episode of the IMAGiNE FiTTiNG IN™ Podcast, host Greg Alan Jankowski – The Balance Professor welcomes Larry Pacifico, one of the greatest powerlifters of all time, along with Kevin and Gregory Pheifler of Dayton, Ohio.

Pacifico, nicknamed “Mr. Powerlifting,” is a 9-time IPF World Champion who set 54 world records and remains a legend in the sport. His mentorship has inspired generations of athletes, including 16-year-old Gregory Pheifler, a rising powerlifting prodigy balancing school, lifeguarding, basketball, and future career goals in law enforcement. Supported by his father, Kevin Pheifler, Gregory’s journey highlights the power of family, discipline, and guidance.

This conversation brings together championship wisdom, teen ambition, and parental support—offering valuable lessons for athletes, artists, parents, teachers, and coaches. It’s about more than lifting weight—it’s about lifting up the next generation.
