Interviews from four of the best coaches in our industry including Carlo Alvarez, Eric Cressey, Mike Boyle, and Bob Alejo.

The purpose of this Coaching Log is to help illuminate the fact that behind the titles, records, medals and spoils of a successful powerlifting team, exist the gardeners who work with the iron and sweat that is the rich dark soil of a gym’s garden. And being tended to in that garden are the seeds that will take root and

If you have been following and participating in doing my training log, you'll know that we have a TON of Prowler work completed at this point.  You'll also know that we have done a couple simple yet severe Squat/DL sessions. Looking at this band of marauders I determined that we needed a rest from Conditioning,..(TODAY). […]

The openers are all done. It's time to rest up for the meet now.

Today almost every lifter was off aside from my lawyer/powerlifters Ryan.  He couldn't come in sat due to traveling for work.  We tested him out.  Ryan hasn't had any heavy weight in his hands or done a meet in a year.  His weight is around 180. He hit a 355squat, 275lb bench and a 465 […]

Then using a reps in

Today was a good last heavy pulling day. Jeff and Neal did well and I at least know that I should be good for a halfway decent pull.

Day and night difference from only 2 weeks ago.

Disc Injury? It's Not the End! See Why. Part 2 I currently have two lifters; the Chief and Laurie (two Brokeback Powerlifters) with this exact issue-they are almost out of the Acute Phase and will be adding in some cool stuff. The Edema Press is one of them OK, there are the bullet points if you didn’t read my last article on
