    5 Things no on tells you before your first Powerlifting competition

    🎧 5 Brutal Lessons From My First Powerlifting Meet Over a decade ago, I stepped into my first powerlifting competition full of confidence... and walked away 57.5kg down on my gym total. What went wrong? Everything. In this episode, I share the five brutal lessons I wish someone had told me before stepping on the platform — from last-minute underwear emergencies to losing 40kg on my deadlift thanks to a stiff bar. Here’s what you’ll learn:📍 The real reason your gym PRs don’t always show up on meet day📍 Why your underwear might get you disqualified📍 How meet-day toilets become a battlefield📍 The rules that can ruin your bench if you don’t read them📍 Why a singlet will expose more than your quads If you’re prepping for your first comp — or just want to hear what not to do — this one’s for you.
