Different methods for peaking. Clip from the latest episode of our TSG Podcast.

Shelly Stettner ‘s best attempts from our first meet together at the 2026 PA Masters Nationals. Shelly crushed it on the day going 8 for 9, winning gold, and winning overall best lifter for her age division. She finished off with 118 kg on squat, 72.5 kg on bench, and 157.5 kg on deadlift for a 348 kg total in the M4 63 kg class. These were all National records, above the World records on everything but squat, and even an all time personal record on deadlift!

Now we’re preparing for the Masters World Championships where we’ll have some stiff competition and a chance to officially break World records.

With the IPF Classic World Championships about the start, we breakdown the process of peaking on our latest episode of the TSG podcast.

After a disappointing local meet to finish off last year, had the perfect bounce back meet at Nationals this year!

Jay was able to execute on the day hitting all our top end 3rd attempts finishing just 2.5 kg away from his squat PR, tying his bench PR, hitting a 2.5 kg deadlift PR, and tying his total PR. During this last training cycle, Jay put a greater focus on his technique, training to the standards, and recovery, and it showed in his performance on the biggest stage.
