Quick update: I’m still a powerlifter, but I have loved adding a little bit of conditioning work into my days.

My recovery feels better, my body feels more mobile, I even feel as though I have developed a new level of discipline.

This style of training isn’t for everyone, but I’m sure a LOT of powerlifters would love it if they broke that initial barrier and started.

For me, it’s a great way to continue pushing my powerlifting without the hyper-fixation on my spinal injuries.

Follow along for my progression in these conditioning focussed sessions, as well as some running coming up…

I promise pausing is better

Bad kit, bad lift off, bad set up, bad externals, etc. pause the set, and if you can’t, pause the set with a lighter weight!

@the.aidan.connealy the boy

Lovely squat prep for Aidan bagging himself a nice total PB at commies, where we really only had about 4 weeks of ‘real’ training to get fully ready for competition

Spoto and block press

I see these being used and justified in very strange ways FAR too often when looking at a clients old program, don’t misuse these variations!

Zoom out

You need to think about where you want your powerlifting total to be in 6, 12, 24 months, not 7 days🤞

Good feedback

The more you focus on the reality of progress and the long term effects that can have, the better your training is going to go! No more fixating on huge PBs.

I love getting feedback messages like this, because it reinforces the fact that both myself and my athlete are going to have a real easy time making progress.
