Ever struggle with reacting to a bad session
Let me know if this relates
You have a bad lift and now you are second guessing the plan
So many thoughts run through your mind
- oh it was my technique
- oh it was a programming issue
- oh its a fatigue problem
The list goes on
Yes you can just ignore your thoughts in the moment but an even better solution
Write down in the moment what you would send to your coach or just reasonings for why it went bad
Then you are going to leave it for 24-48 hrs and revisit what you wrote
After this period, you can likely provide more objective and less reactionary feedback that you and your coach can communicate next steps or if anything should be tweaked or not
Over time in lifting you will accumulate more bad sessions , knowing how to react and manage these appropriately will play a huge role in your coach-athlete relationship and long term progress
Processed vs outcome goals for powerlifting?
My take on this question and why as you progress in the sport you are likely going to shift more towards process oriented goals rather than outcome
This doesnāt mean you donāt create outcome goals but the emphasis I find changes over the course of your lifting career

Be intentional with lifting to comp standards
Earlier this week I filmed from front and side angles and noticed on backdown rep work I was being lazy and not executing to comp standards with my stack/knees despite me feeling like I was good
The amount of lifters who train with lazy knee positions and lose their stack happens at every level
And I hear the same complaints, man my squat feels different on meet day, I feel like I canāt find my midfoot
Itās because we just arenāt training to comp standards, similar to not pausing your benches or not holding your top singles awaiting the start command
Hold yourself to a high standard and your lifts will translate so much better to the platform
