Show Notes
Powerlifting has shaped much of mainstream fitness, but is it truly the best approach for health and longevity? In this episode, we examine how powerlifting principles—designed for a sport—have been widely adopted in fitness programming and why this can sometimes lead to injuries and other barriers to longevity in fitness. While powerlifting offers incredible value as a sport, it may not always align with long-term health goals. Tune in to explore smarter programming, the common issues I see in powerlifting programming, and how to implement powerlifting principles without compromising recovery or longevity.
