Amanda Lawrence breaks down her training and future plans for competition in 2019. @miss.amanda.ann How has she been able to make this crazy level of progress in such a short time??? Ben Rice doesn't know who Amanda is. Amanda is intro-ing for the cult. Fam fam on ESPN?? Chasing 600lb Squat and Deadlift? Fake plates? Fake Kilo plates?
Ben Rice and Chance Mitchell discuss everything from our Q/A session via Instagram.
Eric Bodhorn joins Ben Rice and I to breakdown training leading into my recent competition and recap. (Typically Eric writes my training but I handled it this time around leading into this comp.) All in all a fantastic meet especially with only 2 months prep after Raw Nationals. I get roasted over bench press. We discuss - No taper (Minimal Taper) + Singles only deadlift training. Bench Press training went very well, but fell short with plenty of factors - essentially just very inefficient setup on gameday via off handoffs and slippery bench. (Chance) 516 Wilks 820kg//1,808lbs @ 92.5//203 American Record Deadlift aspirations? Hmmm
Eric LaPointe Owner of Odyssey Barbell in Mass joins Ben Rice and I for a discussion on the rapid progression in USAPL, Drugs in Powerlifting, some potential risks with drug use. USAPL QT BOOST Who is Eric LaPointe? @pizzabloat deadlifts 672lbs (in comp where it counts) @163 Amanda Ann is one of the fastest progressing lifters in the game right now. One of my current favorites to watch. To use Drugs or to not use Drugs? "Libertarian idea" of if you're not hurting someone go ahead? or... nah PBCCoaching.com - 405 Squat as a male within 6 months or your money back? "DruG tESteD Is NoT dRug FrEE"
Austin highlights his USAPL Raw Nationals performance Dr. Baraki from Barbell Medicine (Also Coaches Samantha Calhoun) All things tendinitis and how we perceive pain as it relates to powerlifting. Training Load Increasing = Higher Chance of Injury (regardless of technique?) Your own psychology can play against you. Austin is more "Anti-Movement Guy" than Chance.
"It's all about balance. Right?" *Chance's eyes roll* Peaking off high frequency can become RISK vs. REWARD Why is Chance anti-movement coaching/specialist? Ben Rice loves movement coaches. NO RECOVERY KEYS!!! There are no more genetic outlier gap in USAPL is shrinking. You need all of the details locked down. "I can only handle X" Training factors for progress aren't static. All training volume is not created equal. Peaking bench press for high frequency benchers.
California Wildfires Taking a week off before comp?/DetrainingFresh, but off/weak Durability Why Chance doesn't pull conventional State of Trained and expected vs Detrained and unsure. Tapering/Peaking cc: @5trong - Do juniors exist? "Drug tests are easy to beat" Powerlifting Australia, Robert Wilks says he will testify in courtagainst Gaston for collusion with Russia.
Jon Jones (Turinabol) DS CRAZE - YOU'RE NOT NATTY Materia = WADA Compliant BCAAs are a waste Will Derek formulate NZT-48? THE GOAT: Cake Batter Protein Creatine is overhyped? USAPL Failures (SARMs) WADA Compliancy
Favorite Accessories for Deadlift? Wave Loading? David Woolson is in the Belt Squat Cult. Ben Rice, Chance Mitchell, and David Woolson average 5 hours in the gym per session. Sitting out of the ARNOLD??? Reflecting on poor meets. Thoughts on RTS's Emerging Strategies Kilos vs. LB Plates Deadlift Technique You're moving up to 105?!?!?
