P L Situation
You are coaching a lifter that is about to go out for their 2nd deadlift. The bar is being loaded for your lifter and you realize they have no deadlift socks on. The referees didn’t notice on the 1st attempt.  What do you do?

New Lifter Tip
Do not go into your first meet focused on numbers. Get used to the rhythm of the meet, and the unique pressures compared to training in the gym.

Episode 114 (10/31/22) - Gretchen Patsios: Unf*ck your brain

Gretchen Introduction  

GA State Bench Meet Recap  and Mindset Tools

What's next in terms of competing?  

Music tastes?  

PL Situation: You are competing in an exhibition event in which you only are allowed 6 total attempts between the Squat, Bench and Deadlift. You must state how many attempts for each lift you will attempt before the meet starts. How many attempts do you choose for Squat, Bench and Deadlift?    

New Lifter Tip - Get a coach and be coachable.  Work on your mental game because belief 100% affects your ability to move a weight.  Remember, a meet is just one day.  It doesn’t define you as a lifter so have fun.   I’ve bombed out 2, almost 3 meets in a row.  I walked out smiling every time.

Episode 113 (10/24/22) Justin Little & Ian Smith - South Georgia Barbell  (Matt Cannon - owner)

Introduce Justin Little and Ian Smith:

Started SGB in 2020 and started refereeing as well as running meets.  Next meet is South Georgia Barbell Brawl on November 5.  56 Lifters.

The vital need for more lifters to look seriously into becoming State Level referees.

 So much more perspective behind the sport and also a peek behind the curtain on how much work goes into Meet directing, especially large multi day meets. 

Balancing life as a Husband, Father, Lifter

P L Situation:
A few resistance bands have gone missing over the last few months from your gym. Someone shows you a video of one of your training partners putting the gym bands into their bag and leaving. How do you handle this?

PL Situation: 
You are lifting in a meet against your rival. You turn in your openers and shortly later you look at the scoreboard and notice that your rival has openers that really outpace yours. How should you react to this? 

New Lifter Tip
Your squat can be affected by your arches. Dropped arches can equate to unengaged hip rotation. Make sure you are ripping apart the floor with your feet when you are squatting to engage hip rotation. Agree or disagree?

#NewLifterTip
Don't forget to stop and smell the roses. People sometimes get so focused and detailed with their training and competing that it starts to feel like a job. Remember why you started and remember how much you enjoy the feeling of working out. Agree or Disagree?

Eat during the meet! Sometimes adrenaline and nerves squash the appetite and lifters forget to eat. This can have a catastrophic effect on your performance as the meet goes on and your body begins running on empty. Agree or Disagree?

PL Situation: You are training at the gym by yourself. You have your music playing, getting hyped for your last few warmup squats and heavy squat single. In walks 3 people. One of them changes the music. All 3 then proceed to hop on the ellipticals. What do you do?

New Lifter Tip
Progress or lack of progress are often the result of the individual lifter's effort and discipline. Before making drastic changes to your program and/or coach, look in the mirror and assess your effort and discipline.  Agree or disagree?

New Lifter Tip #2
Practice calming down and relaxing. Many new lifters get over excited for the entire duration of the competition. This is not necessarily bad while under the bar. The problem comes when there is no "off" switch when not under the bar. This can lead to extreme fatigue before the end of the meet. Agree or Disagree?

Episode 104 (8/17/22) 

 P L Situation
Your buddy loves to bench but is new to competing in powerlifting. He just signed up for his first Bench-only meet. He’s watched some meets and done some internet surfing and thinks that when athletes arch, they are cheating the range of motion and not using their real strength. He vows to not use an arch and just be strong… but in an oddly introspective moment, he asks for your opinion. What do you say?

New Lifter Tip
You are a lifter who hates to squat - you think you have “bad hips” and you feel like it is your worst lift. Don’t assume it’s your hips! The source of the issue may actually be stemming from your feet - your ankles, or even your bar position. Work with a coach to determine the issue and embrace the squat!!!

#PLSituation:
You rub a magic chalk bowl and out pops a powerlifting genie. This genie grants you 3 powerlifting related wishes. 1 wish for yourself. 2 wishes for others.  Who and what do you wish for?

 #NewLifterTip:
NEVER, EVER go up after missing an opener...
99.9% of the time, one should not go up after missing an opener, especially as a new lifter. There is still that 0.1% that the situation may call for it, so... never say never, but in general, don't do it.  Agree or Disagree?

 #PL Situation
You have the lower bodyweight, but are down 5 kg after opening deadlifts, despite having the heaviest opener. 2nd place is basically locked up. You tweak your back slightly during your opener.  Do you pass your 2nd attempt and pull your 3rd for the win? What would decide if this is a smart strategy or not?

 #NewLifterTip
Stop, Collaborate and Listen!
Pay attention and talk with other coaches, lifters & volunteers that have been around powerlifting. Be a sponge for information. Take advantage of the experience of others so that you don't have to learn the hard way like many have had to do. Agree or Disagree?

NGB Meeting on Monday following Nationals Week.

PL Situation
When you are 3 out, you get out of your chair and walk to the chalk bowl, leaving your headphones on your chair and your drinks under the chair. When you return from your attempt, you find your headphones on the ground and another lifter sitting in your chair. There are no other empty chairs but there are a few coaches sitting in other chairs. What do you do?

 New Lifter Tip
Do not use ammonia or smelling salts for the very first time at a meet. Try them in training first. Agree or Disagree?

Episode 94 (6/4/22) 

Team Rohr weekend recap

Who is your prediction for Best Lifter?” and “Who do you predict to podium for each weight class?”

“How is handling someone at a big local meet different from Nationals?”

PL Situation
You are competing at Nationals on a Friday. You booked your room months ago. One of your close friends calls you asking if he and his wife can stay in your room Wednesday thru Saturday because the meet hotel is now sold out and they can't find anywhere close to stay. What do you tell your friend?

 New Lifter Tip
Work together with other lifters and coaches in the warmup room. Helping each other load weights and adjust the rack keeps it moving so everyone can get their warmups in without being rushed. Agree or Disagree?

 New Lifter Tip
You learn a lot more by asking about what you don't know vs pretending to know what you don't. If you really want to get better at powerlifting, be a sponge for information and knowledge. It's out there and often it's free.  Agree or Disagree?
