3rd Strength powerlifting

3rd strength - the strength and skill of the body when combined with the strength and skill of the mind, make for a third strength and skill far in excess of the sum of the two. - Stuart McGill

This is what the team is all about: I run the team as I've ran a business, and my business is me. I do all things according to this princicple, and thus I apply the same principles to all aspects of my life. Everything is in balance, and flows with the other. How do I plan our powerlifting? we look at the big end goal, for me a 800 pound raw squat, 550 pound raw bench press and a 900 pound deadlift. Basically what I can say that just about the highest level a regular man chan acheieve in the strength world...

We plan how to achieve this, on a yearly then weekly basis. We plan to compete 3 times a year, and to set our goals for each one. Not all of our goals can be PRs, but we set them anyways. we break these goals down into 9-12 week periods, and then set daily goals from there. we evaluate at the end of each meet, decide what direction we need to take things based on what was achieved, ie a lifter missed a squat in the hole so we know to work on his quads, then put more of a focus on that. The actual loading from week to week, month to month and all that is actually still a little confusing for me, so I ask other people to guide me on that, but honestly, once you can completely let go of you need to hit your goals, and still be 100% committed to them, and totally remove yourself from your training to plan things this far away from the actual event things start to get easy,,, well people that have executed this, many many entrepeneurs and even high level athletes will get this, some will not.

Things such as nutrition, sports psychology, restoration, stress management, technique training are an ever ongoing process. Once you can truthfully attain this mindset of strength, then you can attain the mindset of success in general. And anyone who has truthfully attained this mindset of success in all things, you will also understand what total accountability will mean, some people will get this. Others who cannot control themselves and continually make the decision to damage themselves will not.

explain to me westside barbell, and I will explain to you success. Dave Tate will explain success to you, his powerlifting career is now his business. He knows exactly how to think success. Maybe at times he doesn't think so positive, but dave doesn't have to be say positive, he is positive.

This is the 3rd strength. I look forward to bringing people to this, and attracting those that already figured it out
