Powerbuilding has been a pretty vague term in the fitness community for 10+ years. There’s atleast 3 definitions, in my opinion, to this style of training.

1. SBD for high repetitions. Simple as that. The lazy powerlifters offseason.
2. High intensity bodybuilding. Dorian Yates Blood & Guts chasing the logbook-esque training.
3. Conjugate style bodybuilding specifically designed to make you a better powerlifter.

You can’t go wrong with any of them. It’s well understood that if your recovery and progression are on point you’re going to build muscle using any of the three. I just wanted to offer some clarity on something that isn’t exactly defined and yet is regurgitated at nauseam with no true guidance.

If you’re interested in training in any of these 3 styles but don’t know how to apply them DM me directly!

A lot of people focus on getting stronger, but very few pay attention to how they’re getting stronger.

Over time, small muscular imbalances can add up. One side starts doing more work, certain muscles become dominant, and other areas stop contributing the way they should. You may not notice it right away, but eventually it can affect movement quality, performance, and potentially increase your risk of injury.

That doesn’t mean every imbalance needs to be “fixed,” but it does mean they shouldn’t be ignored.

Pay attention to things like:
• One side consistently feeling weaker than the other
• Shifting during squats, presses, or deadlifts
• Chronic aches and pains that keep coming back
• Limited mobility or stability on one side

Strength training isn’t just about moving more weight. It’s about moving well enough to keep progressing for years to come.

The best time to address an imbalance is before it becomes a problem.

Calories matter whether your goal is fat loss, muscle gain, or weight maintenance.

You can eat healthy foods and still gain weight if you’re eating too much.

This was 7 years ago around this time of year. 556 lb on the bar for a meet PR.

I for one absolutely love performing. I say performing and not competing because I’m not there to beat other lifters. I’m there just to show out. That’s why I’ve always felt so comfortable when it comes to public speaking or lifting competitions.

Sure I have some competitive drive in me. I’m curious how I stack up with others around my weight class. But I train for myself and compete for myself. If you give me a reason to beat you I’m going try, but I’m very much a proximity-based person. The only things that matter are what are around me.

Also, the hard part is the training leading up. To me that’s the most stressful part because I’m quite meticulous to a fault. Everything has to go well in prep, spoiler alert it never does. Once the training is over and I feel like I’m prepared enough it feels like the weight of the world is lifted off my shoulders. All I have to do now is show up and do the damn thing.

Finally, if you’re a real lifter you know how fu***ng good of a feeling it is when you’re in the back room and you feel good and the weights are moving the way you want them to. Good back room vibes are undefeated. I’ll be back on that platform one day. Big truss’.

Reverse Band Squat PR @ 460 lb
5” Sumo Block Pull PR @ 510 lb x 5

Haven’t had that much weight on my back in almost 5 years. I love reverse band because it lets my CNS get acclimated to big weights knowing the bands are going to accommodate me at the bottom end of the range of motion. Really builds my confidence up when it’s eventually time to test. Had to lower the block height on the block pulls by an inch. Was a lil too easy last week. Need the sticking point to be just right.

Big max effort upper day today. Never done a Hatfield squat but it didn’t take long at all to get a feel for it. Vid shows me hitting 515 lb. I planned on hitting 200kg(440 lb) but once I did that beltless on the ramp up I wanted atleast 500 lb. It’s an overload movement so don’t look too deep into the weight on the bar. The hand assist helps ALOT. I think I coulda done more tbh. The second vid is my assistance deficit sumos @ 385 lb x 5 top set. They absolutely suck but the rule is, if something sucks or you don’t want to do it that’s probably the movement you need the most.
