We talk about ways in which we might be getting in the way of ourselves when prepping for our in house powerlifting meets and how we can build real strength and excitement for the event as well as hitting lifetime PBs at testing!

Big bumper chat on peri and post menopause!

We talk about how Topsets pair with Back off sets and how they enhance each other so we can get continually stronger! If you’re a beginner and have just heard these terms, this one’s for you!

We talk about the importance of a good brace, why we add Pauses and Tempos and the long term effects of properly setting up to prevent future pain so we can continuously enjoy this with as little pain as possible :)
