Mom competes in powerlifting, her teenage daughters enjoy Olympic lifting in school. Dad lifts more casually, offers support. It's all in the family.
"Teenagers and their parents don't have a lot in common, but we grew up going to Mom's meets. It's something that bonds us together."
Mom is Bradenton dentist and powerlifter Dr. Margaret Kirkland, who added to her glittering resume earlier this month at the American Powerlifting Federation Southern States Championships in Lake City.
Competing in the 114-pound class, the 43-year-old Kirkland set five American weight-class records.
