👉🏼 Too often powerlifters are missing some key factors that could accelerate the kilos they put on the bar.

👉🏼 Why? Because they spend so much time focused on loading the bar in training sessions & not prioritizing the missing links outside of training sessions.

👉🏼 Pick one thing that is missing from your training outside of sessions & make it a habit. Once that feels dialed, pick another thing. You don’t have to change everything over night, but you do have to think about stacking habits that best support your goals.

👉🏼 If you’re a powerlifter & this is the first time you’re hearing about power leaks & how to address them, listen up.

👉🏼 I spent many years not wanting to admit or address power leaks due to injury or poor joint mobility. I could just strength train my way out of them. Well, if you’ve been on my bench press journey with me, you know that doesn’t work. I pushed through an injury for 2 plus years thinking I could “strong” my way out of it. Another year later & I’m finally digging deeper into the internal work that is addressing my power leaks & ability to move with more technical proficiency.

👉🏼 Power leaks can also happen due to lack of proper bracing under the bar. I rarely see bracing & breathing being trained by coaches. Telling an athlete to brace verses teaching them the skills they need to properly brace under load are not the same. Incorporating specific breathing & bracing exercise into your training session or warm-ups, can have an incredible impact on how efficiently you move load & your ability to mitigate low-level pain in the moment.

👉🏼 If you’re looking for a coach who can help guide you to unlock more power & gain a better understand of how to increase your technical proficiency, reach out today & join the team & community.

👉🏼 Look, the most important thing here is to understand your effort needs to match your expectations. If your expectations are greater than your effort, you’ll be disappointed day after day.

👉🏼 We all know perfection is not the name of the game, but consistency is. If your consistency only lies in showing up for your training & you want to grow as a competitive athlete, it’s time to find consistency in other areas of your training.

👉🏼 Whatever you do, make sure your effort matches your expectations & own it! You get out of your training what you put into.

💗 My affirmation for 2026 is “An abundance of love flows from me & to me.”

💗 The last two years have been a bit of a fever dream. Mixed with wins & losses. Much of it filled with betrayal, loss & grief. It’s made my heart a little harder, the walls a little bigger & has take me back to a place of self protection.

💗 I see my reflection in the mirror & know she has been hiding deep wounds just to show up everyday. And the wounds show up even when I try to protect myself from them. I see the mistakes I’ve made in past relationships. I see the ways I could be a better parent just by showing up with more love. I see the ways in which I was not equipped to love without fear creeping in. The fear of giving too much, just to have it all taken away.

💗 I know in order to receive love, I must radiate love into this world. I wish to bring more calm safe love into my life. The kind of safe love my family deserves, the people in my life deserve & I deserve.

💗 So here’s to radiating more intentional, vulnerable, calming love in 2026.
