I'm Paj Mohager at Jack Fitness in Atlanta, Georgia, and today I'm going to teach you how to peak for powerlifting. Powerlifting is a very unique way of weight training. So, in that same respect, you have to train in a very unique way for it. We have powerlifting being so different from weight training, bodybuilding or any other form of training for different specific kind of sports, you have to train in a very different way than anything else. You, especially if you're, if you're trying to compete in a meet, or in a competition or anything like that. You have to start training for that way ahead, maybe 15, 16 weeks ahead. And the way you do that depending on whatever your form of competition is, if you're doing squats, deadlifts, bench press, those are the three of the major ones in powerlifting, you're really training for one rep. So, you want to have maximum exertion, maximum power for that one rep. So, in order to train for that, you have to do a percentage of your maximum weight, starting out 16, 15 weeks out and doing it little by little by little by little by little and then kind of tapering off as you get closer to the actual competition because you want to be fresh, you don't want your muscles to be you know, hurt or damaged or recovering from any of the heavy training that you've been doing. So, with deadlifts, it's very you know, and another thing with, with powerlifting is that it's very important that form comes first. Powerlifting you're lifting for one rep. That one rep has to be done at a 100 percent accuracy. Hundred percent accuracy means 100 percent accuracy on your form. The better your form is, the heavier you can lift, which is what powerlifting is all about.
