Don't Waste Time! Prioritize Powerlifting-Specific Training

Focus on what matters

Train muscles & movements used in powerlifting.

Muscle size matters, but prioritize

Chest, back, legs over biceps, calves.

Identify weaknesses, target them

Train weak back muscles, not squats for deadlift woes.

Every exercise needs a purpose

How does it help your powerlifting performance?

Ditch the non-essentials

High-rep bicep curls & excessive cardio offer minimal benefit.

Train smart, lift heavy, prioritize specificity

Choose exercises that directly contribute to powerlifting success.
