#016 – Power Program

by //

Slowly getting obsessed with powerlifting

Week 1 of powerlifting training complete. I feel thicker, stronger, all the while still cutting to 8-9% bodyfat. Slowly becoming obsessed with powerlifting. Still focusing on basics of form, on lower weights. Getting impatient striving for improvement.

This episode I go through my start in powerlifting, the weekly routine, losing 50kg(110lbs), IPF goals, being coached, initial home gym setup.

#015 – Start Powerlift

by //

“This is f***in’ crazy! You pretty much changed religion.”

Went down a rabbit hole. Compound lifts, to 5/3/1, to powerlifting, to training for strength. From boxing & bodyweight training to powerlifting & bbj within the week. Seems fickle, but feels like an evolution. In the coach’s words, “You fkin changed religion!”

This episode I go through the transition from bodyweight training to power lifting, the mindset shift, same goals different route, the beginning of a new journey.
