PL Situation:
You are at a “Primetime” event. 2 coaches are fighting with the meet directors on whether or not chipping a lift is allowed. You are the TC and stuck in the middle. What do you do?

New Lifter Tip: 
Check the USAPL logo rules BEFORE choosing your meet day equipment. If there is any question about a logo or graphic, it’s probably not approved to be worn on the platform. The plainer the gear, the better. Better safe than sorry!!

P L  Situation:  You realize that you signed up for a meet in another state on a date that is also your 10th wedding anniversary. You have to admit that the date looked familiar when you signed up for it but now that you are three weeks out, you realize that you forgot your anniversary and signed up for a weekend away. Do you go to the meet?

New Lifter Tip: Do the little things. 

• As you ramp up for heavy lifts in training, the little things almost become more important because your body tightens up. Example. Pre bench thoracic mobility

P L  Situation: You are lifting in a meet that you had to travel to (a good ways) and made a week-long trip out of it. Your best friend joined you on the trip so that you can go sightseeing after the meet. 
The night before the meet she is snoring non-stop and you cannot sleep. You know that if you don’t sleep, your lifting will be affected. What do you do?

New Lifter Tip: Leg Drive for Bench
When pushing with your legs, push your body in the direction of your head, not pushing feet down into floor

Episode 122 (12/28/22) 

GA State Championship is Full

Recovery Methods - Sleep, Eating Habits, Back offs, Contrast Showers, Nutrition, Massage, 

PL Situation: You are in 2nd Place. Your competitor has already completed their 3rd deadlift and moved into 1st with a new state record total. Your 2nd attempt and PR Deadlift is 192.5kg but you think you are good for right around 200. A 3rd deadlift of 200kg will tie their total and you will win on bodyweight but you will not get the state record total. If you go 202.5kg, you will win and break the total. If you miss, you get neither. What do you turn in for your 3rd attempt?

New Lifter Tip: When loading or unloading a bar and/or when raising the rack, do it evenly. This works best if you have someone on each side, working together.

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?
