With the Arnold Sports Festival now past, Ryan, Ben, and Jacob reflect on some wise words uttered by Matt Gary behind the scenes of the powerlifting stage. As Ryan prepared for his second attempt on bench, he made a brief comment about 'making weight' to which Matt replied, "Well, that's all part of competing." This got us thinking: What are ​all of the factors that go into powerlifting competition - or competition at all for that matter? We all become so focused on the lifting aspect, that we sometimes forget about the necessary minutiae that contribute to the entire process. How prepared should we be before actually stepping onto the platform? What variables can we control? Listen as we delve into these often overlooked, but important questions. Hopefully, we'll get you thinking a little bit more about your own level of preparedness.
