When I was younger, still very natural, and still very underdeveloped, I often found myself completely dismissing the opinions, takes, and general experience of enhanced athletes. In some respects, I was absolutely right to do so… but, overall, I was missing the point. Their information wasn’t “bad” or even necessarily “wrong” — it just often… Read More »

There is nothing more demotivating to the powerlifter than the persistent feeling that they aren’t making progress and there is nothing more destructive to your literal progress than getting hurt. An injury that is serious enough in nature can potentially prevent you from being able to train one, or more, of the lifts. If you… Read More »
One of the more intriguing phenomenons in powerlifting circles is “poverty bench”. Poverty bench simply refers to an individual whose bench strength is largely out of line with their lowerbody strength. This is actually more common than you’d think. At the end of the day, there is really only one cause of poverty bench press… Read More »

Whether that manifests as shoulder pain, bicep pain, or elbow pain, this happens to seemingly every single powerlifter in existence at some… Read More »
One of the most common complaints I receive when it comes to RPE-based programming has to do with the perceived difficulty of rating RPEs. For whatever reason, some people view RPEs as practically mystical; they feel like it is just completely impossible to truly rate them accurately. What I want to cover in this article is… Read More »
When I asked for video content requests about two weeks ago, the number one request, by far, was more program reviews. The program that topped all the review requests was “The Bridge” by Jordan Feigenbaum of Barbell Medicine. While this program isn’t strictly a powerlifting program, and isn’t even intended for powerlifters, I don’t want… Read More »
Powerlifting is the sport of the squat, bench, and deadlift. Not only that, but powerlifting is the sport of doing a one-rep max on the squat, bench, and deadlift. There are no rep-sets on the powerlifting platform and there are no variations whatsoever. You do the competition lifts and nothing else. In the rest of… Read More »
