    Ep. 7: The Muscle You Refuse to Build Is Costing You Strength

    Too many powerlifters and strongman athletes become obsessed with max-effort lifts, heavy singles, and testing strength while neglecting the one thing that drives long-term progress: building muscle. In this episode of The Unfiltered Strength Podcast, Connie and Zach break down the relationship between hypertrophy and strength, why accessory work matters, and how skipping volume work can leave serious gains on the table. We discuss common mistakes strength athletes make, the fear of gaining size, and why muscle mass is one of the biggest predictors of future strength potential. Whether you're a powerlifter, strongman competitor, or someone looking to get stronger, this episode will help you understand why building muscle isn't a distraction from strength training, it's a critical part of it.

    Unfiltered Strength Ep. 2: What it Costs to Compete

    In Episode 2 of Unfiltered Strength, we dive into a topic that doesn’t get talked about enough, the real cost of getting into strength sports. From the outside, lifting might seem simple: show up, train hard, and get stronger. But once you step into the world of powerlifting, strongman, or competitive strength training, the financial side becomes very real and it adds up quickly. In this episode, we break down what it actually costs to go from a beginner just getting started to an athlete competing at higher levels. We cover: The cost of gym memberships and how training environments can impact progress Coaching fees and whether they’re worth the investment Competition entry fees and federation costs The reality of travel expenses for meets and events Essential equipment (belts, shoes, sleeves, suits, and more) and how costs scale as you progress The role of supplementation and how much athletes typically spend We also talk about how these costs evolve as you move from local competitions to more competitive and elite levels, and what athletes should realistically expect if they want to take the sport seriously.
