For anyone who’s considering competing, remember that your value isn’t determined by your result. I know it can seem that way, especially with many athletes posting their training highlights but realize these athletes are not peaked year around. 

I often see this new lifters who feel they must hit a certain total before they can compete. They’ll attempt to rush the process by implementing insane amounts of training volume to play catch up. I’ve been guilty of this in the past myself.

If you want to get strong, remember that powerlifting is a marathon, not a sprint. You’ll need to carry out training blocks that may seem boring at times. Realize the end goal is longevity in the sport. I’ve seen a ton of lifters come and go over the years. The ones who’ve stayed are the ones who’ve learned to understand this concept.

My current training block is by no means my highlight reel. A lot of times I don’t even feel like posting my training at all. However, I want to show you my personal process and hopefully help others feel better about their own journey.
