  • Best podcast ever! Thank you!

    I’ve been following this podcast since I started Powerlifting 3 years ago. But today I have to thank you. Leaving work an hour later, tired and stressed, the Episode of the -120kg worlds recap set me up for my training session during the hour journey to the gym. Thank you so much! Fun, fresh, funny, exciting, about people and powerlifting!!! 🖤

  • Unrivalled sports podcast.

    There’s really no equal in sports podcasting, which might seem odd when you consider it’s dedicated to a niche sport.

    I do wonder if 6 Pack Lapadat had been invested in a mainstream sport like he is in powerlifting when he might be putting out into the world. I think it’d be a case of not if he’d be in the conversation as an all time great sports broadcaster but where in the top 5 you put him.

    As it is, if you’re a fan of powerlifting or just like to lift and watch big events like Sheffield, ... more

    If you wanna hear about how cool it is to be an elite athlete and how great the IPF and worlds are then listen to this. If you want real substance, look elsewhere

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Thomas Lilley: Are SBD days overrated? Proper frequency, volume and intensity you have wrong.
Q: How do you lie on this in terms of frequency and intensity?
Lilley says programming should follow training principles: work hard and close to failure, allow roughly 48 to 72 hours for recovery, and select frequency and intensity to develop recruitment, hypertrophy and skill. His lifters commonly have two weekly exposures to each lift pattern, while performing the competition lift itself about once per week.
Thomas Lilley: Are SBD days overrated? Proper frequency, volume and intensity you have wrong.
Q: How often do you think athletes should peak in a year and compete?
Lilley distinguishes competing from peaking: athletes can compete several times a year while training through some meets, but should choose peaks carefully because peaking prioritizes expressing strength rather than making long-term adaptations.
Presser Powerlifting X KOTL Avancus Houston Recap & More!
Q: How did Presser feel about the overall production and the backstage experience during Avancus Houston?

Elliott Sykes on his insane Rising Tide performance, his evolution, who will win Sheffield!

The guest describes entering with high expectations but acknowledges off-season issues; the plan shifted toward embracing a strong, entertaining performance while acknowledging that the day didn't go as planned, yet still staying focused on the bigger goal.
Devonte Lewis is ready to challenge Jesus Olivares!
Q: What are the big goals for Rising Tide and the next few meets?
