Dan Dalenberg found his way through life with the help of fellow powerlifters. As a Team elitefts athlete, he intends to give back to the community by passing on information he’s learned from those who got him through his lowest points.

Powerlifting is bigger and better than it was when I started in 2004. But there’s is one major exception to the positives regarding the sport’s growth: The death of the powerlifting crew.

Having a home gym has allowed me to have the time to fit everything together and never have to sacrifice my training. Here’s how I designed my gym layout, prioritized my equipment selection, and ordered from elitefts.

Training in commercial gyms has its pros and cons. This is a call to arms for those who need to hear it.

The lessons I have learned from powerlifting help me with situations I come across in my life. I recently experienced this while on my first mule deer archery hunt.

I had only one goal and nothing else mattered: to make it to Westside and get as strong as I possibly could.

When the long-term goal is a 1000-pound squat at 220, and the ultimate goal is a 2400-pound total, you need two things: patience and a lot of hard work.

If your training partner’s technique is poor it will take a lot more than empty encouragement to make him better.
