Day 3
Part 2/2
The Event.

When an unstoppable force
Meets an immovable object
But finds its reason why
Nothing can stand in its way

This one was for Ellie.

“We exist to make Jesus Greater” - @billmarkham

One goal every time I step under the bar. The last thing I do before the switch gets flipped is pray.

I got away from that throughout my injuries, retirement/ quitting fiasco. But I’m feeling better every day and it’s no coincidence my pre lift ritual has returned.

Watching the best lifters in the world I’ve seen that each lifter has their own repetitive pattern that doesn’t deviate regardless of the weight. Same setup, same brace, same intention, every set.

Warming up shouldn’t be going through the motions, it should be a rehearsal for your top sets.

Warm up the movement, warm up the pattern, your top set will thank you.

My Powerlifting Story.

Starting life out as a cyclist and ending up as the strongest powerlifter in Canadian history was not something I had envisioned early on, but it’s part of my life’s story now.

Here’s a quick snapshot of how we got here!

**BUILT THE HARD WAY — EPISODE 06 JUSTIN ZOTTL**

**1,003 LBS.**

Very few people in the world can say they’ve squatted over **1,000 lbs**.

Justin Zottl is one of them.

But this episode isn’t just about the weight on the bar.

Justin takes us back to where it all started — his early days, his first passions, and the path that eventually led him to accomplish something very few people will ever achieve.

Now, the challenge looks different.

Being an athlete. Being there for his family. Building a career. And figuring out how all of those pieces can coexist as life, priorities, and goals continue to evolve.

Because being **BUILT THE HARD WAY** isn’t just about becoming strong enough to squat 1,000 lbs.

It’s about building something that lasts far beyond the platform.

**JUSTIN ZOTTL — BUILT THE HARD WAY.**

It’s to easy to fly through your warm up, or skimp on effort during accessories when you’re not good at them. Maybe you don’t understand how to perform them or why you need to. Here’s two easy steps you can use to help with this:

1. Ask the why behind the movement selection.
If you have a coach that means asking for clarity which any good coach will explain happily.
2. Research proper technique. Your coach may have a ready made video explaining how to perform the movement, and how to scale it to your ability. If not YouTube has loads of great educational content on most common and uncommon movements.
