#191: Establish Your Powerlifting Foundation

3D Muscle Journey

Alberto, Eric, and Brad discuss where to start if you're interested in getting into the sport of powerlifting.

What are the fundamentals every new powerlifter should know and have in their life? When is a good time to do your first meet? Why does Eric like lifters to miss lifts (in a safe manner) occasionally? When you're starting, what do the coaches think is more important, community or better equipment? What is the coaches' advice on choosing which weight class to compete in?

The answers to these questions, plus many more are covered in this episode.
