What is the best powerlifting advice you've ever been given?

[kmc06005]

Be patient.

[BluSteelSeattle]

Be patient.

Plus 1000000

[IngeKJ]

Never grind, always have something in the tank. Makes long term strength gains much easier. And that less is never more. More is always more

[IsThisRealKnife]

Don't drink and drive..wait wut?










srsly now just work your azz off period

[MarcAWilson]

Performing the big lifts is a skill. Skills take practice. Most misses happen when form breaks down. Improving efficiency and safety will do as much if not more for you than building true, raw strength in this sport.

[JamesW129]

how you feel is a lie

[Squatr]

Pause squat without the pause

[thiba17]

Knees out










notsrs, patience is the main one, you'll get hurt if you try and do too much too quickly

George Leeman's videos on the mental aspect of powerlifting, and similar words from guys like Bell and Lilly in PL mentality vids.

No program, or diet, or form/technique advice has ever or will ever be as crucial to my success as the result of those words.

Thanks for replying guys. I'm new to powerlifting and my longterm goal is to go to a meet so this is useful stuff.

Be careful of what you read on the internet.

It's just a really expensive hobby, don't let it take over your life

It's impressive that you have a 484 (and satanic shirted) bench without letting it take over your life srs.

Thanks, I mean, I don't just hit the gym 3 times a month or anything, I still train decently hard. I know people, and have training partners, who will have a meltdown if they have a bad workout or miss a lift, this hobby that costs us so much should always be based around enjoyment, if you aren't having fun, aren't being paid and aren't becoming famous, then why do it at all?

No one is impressed with how much you can quarter squat. Sounds dumb but for young me it was earth shattering lol

This is a great post. That's what I tell bros that are having anxiety attacks before going to the gym. If you aren't having fun you'll burn out pretty quickly and likely quit all together.

"You are not special"

[lancs_hotpot]

Eat everything. So simple yet so effective.

[TrettinR]

Since "Be patient" is already taken, I'll go with the second one:

"Stop being a bitch"

[tylerkeen42]

"You are not special"

Depending on the context that's terrible advice lol

[ecchastang]

What you are currently doing works.....until it doesn't. Don't be afraid to change your program, but don't go actively looking to change.

This too as well as stop trying to look for that magic program instead of just putting in hard work into a tried and true program, repped!

Train like a powerlifter
eat like a bodybuilder
sleep like a baby
