Powerlifting

There is often hope that the future is the timeframe where many problems and questions of humanity will be solved. But sometimes the questions have already been asked, pondered, explored, researched and answered.

There are certain things all meets need, such as consistent judging, quality equipment, and safe spotting. But if you want your meet to stand out, you need to offer more than that.

This is the first meet I’ve done in three years that I didn’t win best overall lifter, and it was a huge—and much needed—kick in the ass.

I have looked at my personal success and observed who in my life has helped me move toward my goals. These are the types of people who can bend my ear, grab my attention, and then push or pull me toward the place I need to be.

After the inaugural 5th Set Black Meet on Saturday, I drove all night to Cincinnati for the Women's Pro Am. My motivation for a weekend short on rest and long on PRs can be summed up in a single sentence: I love powerlifting.

I'm here to spread the true secret of strength, if you think you can handle it.

If you aren't training with a group of serious lifters, you're missing a lot of what you need to get stronger.

I've seen men shoot bottle rockets out of their ass for views and women with "shorts" on using thirst trap camera angles from the rear all in an attempt to be accepted as a "powerlifter." Sadly, it works.

Maggie Kuhn, owner of CBUS Lifting Co., walks through the importance of meet directors and shares the impact she wants to have on the future generation of powerlifters.

To get your strongest in the fastest way possible, you need to focus on training as a whole. Every aspect needs attention and focus.

If you don’t know what it is, you can’t focus.

The weights weigh what they weigh and I can either lift them or I can’t. They never try to convince me of anything. They are what they are and that is what they will always be.
