In the world of powerlifting and weightlifting, the pursuit of personal records (PRs) in competition is the ultimate goal. However, simply pushing your limits during every training session may not yield optimal results. In this blog post, we’ll delve into the concept of strategic training specifically tailored for powerlifting and weightlifting, and how it can pave the way for achieving all-time PRs when it truly matters—during competitions.
Central to this strategic approach is the recognition of the significance of carefully choosing when to go for absolute PRs. While it’s essential to push our limits and experience the sensation of heavy weights in our hands, it’s equally crucial to understand that not every training session should revolve around chasing PRs. By strategically identifying the right moments to go all-out, we ensure that our bodies and minds are fully primed for peak performance on the platform, unleashing our complete potential during competitions. Let’s approach our training with intelligence, placing emphasis on quality work, refining our technique, and progressively building strength while simultaneously honoring the need for proper recovery.
Remember, the journey to all-time PRs is a nuanced and strategic process. It’s about finding the right balance between pushing our limits and allowing ourselves the necessary time and space to rest, recover, and adapt. By embracing this intelligent and holistic approach to training, we optimize our chances of reaching new heights and achieving those sought-after all-time PRs. Together, let’s embark on this journey, mindful of the power of strategy and the potential it holds to transform our athletic endeavors.
Prioritize Strength Development: Building a solid foundation of strength is crucial for powerlifting and weightlifting. Rather than solely chasing PRs in training, focus on progressive overload and developing overall strength in the key lifts: squat, bench press, deadlift (for powerlifting), and snatch, clean, and jerk (for weightlifting). Prioritizing consistent strength gains will lay the groundwork for future PRs in competition.
Periodization and Peaking: Periodization is especially important in strength sports. Break your training into specific phases, each with distinct goals and intensities. During the off-season, emphasize building strength and addressing weaknesses. As competitions approach, gradually shift the focus towards peaking. Reduce training volume while increasing intensity to allow for supercompensation, resulting in peak performance when it matters most.
Sport-Specific Technique Training: Technique plays a crucial role in powerlifting and weightlifting. While strength is important, honing your technique is equally vital for success. Devote significant training time to improving your form and execution of the key lifts. Working with experienced coaches, attending technique-focused workshops, and analyzing video footage of your lifts can all contribute to refining your technique and setting the stage for PRs in competition.
Specificity and Competition Simulation: To excel in powerlifting and weightlifting competitions, your training should closely replicate the demands of the platform. Incorporate exercises, variations, and accessory work that directly target the muscles and movement patterns used in competition lifts. Additionally, include periodic competition simulations to familiarize yourself with the environment, time constraints, and mental pressures of competing. This will enhance your ability to perform at your best when it counts.
Mental Conditioning: Powerlifting and weightlifting require not only physical strength but also mental fortitude. Incorporate mental conditioning techniques into your training routine to optimize your competitive performance. Visualization exercises, positive self-talk, and developing mental resilience can help you overcome challenges, handle pressure, and execute your lifts with confidence. Cultivating a strong mindset is a vital component of achieving all-time PRs.
Recovery and Adaptation: While pushing your limits is important, recovery is equally crucial. Allow your body enough time to rest, recover, and adapt to the training stimuli. Prioritize sleep, proper nutrition, and active recovery techniques like mobility work and soft tissue therapy. Balancing intense training with adequate recovery will optimize your performance potential and reduce the risk of burnout or injury.
Setting Up for Success: Your Path to All-Time PRs
In powerlifting and weightlifting, the pursuit of setting all-time personal records (PRs) in competition stands as the ultimate objective. Achieving this feat requires more than just sheer determination and hard work—it demands a strategic training approach that encompasses various crucial elements. By adopting such an approach, you can position yourself for peak performance when it matters most, increasing your chances of reaching new heights and accomplishing those long-sought all-time PRs.
To embark on this path to success, it starts with prioritizing strength development, incorporating periodization and peaking techniques, and honing sport-specific technique training. By simulating competition conditions and emphasizing mental conditioning, you equip yourself with the tools to perform at your best when the spotlight shines brightest. And, of course, a key component of this strategic training approach lies in prioritizing recovery—a crucial aspect that ensures your body and mind are in prime condition for optimal performance.
However, it’s essential to recognize that success in powerlifting and weightlifting extends far beyond what takes place within the walls of the gym. It requires a holistic approach to training—one that considers not only physical aspects but also mental, emotional, and lifestyle factors. This holistic approach encompasses thoughtful choices, self-care, and finding the delicate balance between pushing your limits and allowing yourself the necessary time and space to recover, adapt, and come back even stronger.
By embracing this comprehensive mindset, you lay the foundation for success and open doors to achieving those all-time PRs that have long been the focus of your aspirations. Remember, this journey is not only about reaching new heights but also about the personal growth and transformation that come along with it.
Together, let’s embrace the holistic approach to training and navigate the intricate path that leads to success. By doing so, we unlock the full potential within us, setting the stage for remarkable achievements and the realization of our all-time PRs.
Slow-Medium Snatches: A Valuable Exercise for Improving Your 1st Pull Technique
Jacob Hunt
There are many exercises that can help improve your Olympic weightlifting technique, but have you tried incorporating Slow-Medium Snatches into your training routine? Slow-Medium Snatches are an effective option to consider for perfecting your 1st pull and developing the strength and power necessary to excel in the snatch.
What are Slow-Medium Snatches? They are snatches performed with a focus on controlled, deliberate movements. By slowing down the movement, you can focus on the mechanics of the lift and ensure that you are properly executing the first pull.
Improved technique is one of the many benefits of Slow-Medium Snatches. This exercise allows you to focus on your technique and movement patterns in a controlled manner. By slowing down the movement, you can identify and correct any weaknesses or faults in your technique that may be hindering your progress.
During Slow-Medium Snatches, you can take your time and concentrate on pulling the barbell off the ground with control, while maintaining proper form and positioning. This will help you to develop the strength and power needed to execute a successful first pull.
Another benefit of Slow-Medium Snatches is that they help with increasing power and explosiveness. The slow-medium tempo of the snatch requires greater control and stability, which in turn develops strength and power. By gradually increasing the speed of the snatch, you can develop explosive power and speed in the lift.
Additionally, Slow-Medium Snatches can be useful for identifying and correcting any weaknesses or faults in your technique that may be hindering your progress. By slowing down the movement, you can more easily identify any areas that need improvement, such as improper positioning, balance, or timing.
Overall, incorporating Slow-Medium Snatches into your training routine can be a valuable tool for improving your first pull and overall technique in the snatch. However, it is important to also practice the full snatch and other related exercises to ensure that you are developing a well-rounded and balanced skill set.
Increased muscle control and awareness is another benefit of Slow-Medium Snatches. The controlled tempo of the snatch forces you to maintain proper positioning and control throughout the entire lift. This helps to develop greater muscle control and awareness, which can translate into improved performance in other lifts and athletic movements.
In conclusion, Slow-Medium Snatches are a great exercise to include in your Olympic weightlifting routine. They can help you to perfect your technique, develop strength and power, and increase muscle control and awareness. Give them a try and see how they can take your lifting to the next level!
Struggling with the barbell going around your knees during the snatch? Try the halting snatch complex. This drill can help you focus on maintaining proper positioning and technique to prevent the bar from drifting forward.
Halting at Knee Snatches can be helpful for athletes who are pulling the bar around the knees because it allows them to work on their positioning and technique in that specific part of the lift.
During the halting at knee snatch, the athlete pauses the lift at the point where the barbell is at knee level, just before it moves into the second pull. This pause allows the athlete to focus on maintaining a vertical bar path and keeping the barbell close to their body, which can help prevent them from pulling the bar around the knees.
Here are some ways that halting at knee snatches can be helpful:
Developing proper positioning: By pausing the lift at knee level, the athlete can focus on maintaining proper positioning and keeping the barbell close to their body. This can help them develop the proper muscle memory and technique needed to perform the snatch efficiently and safely.
Increasing awareness: Halting at knee snatches can also help athletes become more aware of their body position during the lift. By holding the lift at knee level, the athlete can feel if they are leaning too far forward or if their weight is shifting in the wrong direction. This can help them make corrections and improve their form.
Strengthening key muscle groups: Halting at knee snatches can also help athletes strengthen key muscle groups that are important for the snatch. By pausing the lift at knee level, the athlete is forced to maintain tension in their legs, core, and back muscles, which can help increase overall strength and power.
Overall, halting at knee snatches can be an effective training tool for athletes who are struggling with pulling the bar around the knees. By focusing on proper positioning, body awareness, and muscle strengthening, athletes can improve their technique and lift more weight safely and efficiently.

Reflect on the last time you decided to lose weight by starting a diet.
What did that look like? Did it include some type of restriction that led you to constantly thinking about or craving that food?
Over 80% of diets end in regaining the weight and it isn’t because you have a lack of will power. It’s because the standard diet that glamorizes restriction ISN’T setting you up for long-term success.
At CBSN, we know that the key to long-term success is focusing in on what we can add first. We also know that while it can be simple, it’s a daunting task, especially with all the misinformation out there!
This is why we are excited to share this announcement with you!

Strength and conditioning training help kids and teens improve their health and overall fitness, but that’s not all! This type of training is based on findings from extensive scientific research and has proven results in reducing injuries, improving confidence, and (of course) enhancing athletic performance.
We’ve designed our program specifically for middle school and high school athletes, to improve strength, power, speed, and agility. We start with the fundamentals, build on the basics, and help our athletes become more versatile and dynamic through evidence-based performance programming. Plus, student athletes who want to compete at the collegiate level gain an advantage by learning and practicing required movements (e.g., power clean, squat, and bench press), as well as gaining strength and conditioning.
Build Confidence and Coordination Through Improved Body Awareness
When you think about confidence and building skills, you may not immediately think of body awareness. However, consider the power of knowing and understanding where your body is in a given space. (e.g., how you’re holding your spine, how your limbs move, etc.). This is body awareness, and it’s essential for performance in any sport. To improve technique in movements required for sports like wrestling, football, track and field, and basketball, athletes must have good body awareness.
But body awareness isn’t just for sport. It can help kids and teens feel more comfortable in their bodies and moving through any number of spaces. We help our young athletes build this essential skill by incorporating several bodyweight-based exercises into our program, including but not limited to squats, lunges, unilateral movements like split squats and RDLs, bird dogs, dead bugs, and more.
As our athletes master these techniques and movements, they gain a deeper understanding of how their bodies move. With that understanding comes improved coordination, and with that coordination comes increased confidence – on the competition platform, on the field, and in life.
Improve Flexibility and Mobility
Our kids spend more time sitting than any generation before them. As a result, many children and teens have already lost a great deal of their natural mobility and flexibility by the time they reach middle school or high school. At the same time, sports, dance, and other rigorous activities require a significant amount of flexibility and large range of motion through the hips, ankles, shoulders, and/or thoracic spine.
That’s why we’ve built proven flexibility and mobility drills and exercises into our eight-week strength and conditioning program. These exercises help our athletes perform lifts and other movements correctly while avoiding injury. They also assist in developing agility, the ability to change direction quickly without losing speed. Our athletes leave our program with increased flexibility, mobility, and agility to perform better in every sport or activity they undertake.
Prepare for Sport Performance
Football, soccer, wrestling, and basketball are just a few of the collegiate-level sports that include olympic-style weightlifting movements in their training regimens. Some of these sports have strength requirements for the snatch and/or power clean. Student athletes who pick up weightlifting movements, and practice strength and conditioning training, will always have a head-start over students who don’t have a strength training background. At its core, our program is designed to help students prepare for performance in any sport they choose to pursue.
Avoid Injuries to Stay in the Game
We all know that warming up properly can help prevent injuries. After all, you don’t see Team USA athletes heading out to sprint the 200 without first warming up, right? Numerous studies have proven that proper warm-ups, dynamic stretching, plyometrics, and strength training and conditioning all work to significantly reduce athletes’ risk of injuries. Our well-rounded strength training program includes thorough warm-up and cool-down routines, exercises to condition joints and develop stabilizing muscles, and make our athletes as bulletproof as possible against injuries!
Learn How to Eat for Performance in Training, on Game Day, and at Play
Along with developing our athletes’ physical capabilities, we also spend time educating them on proper nutrition and how to fuel their bodies for performance. We know that kids can be extremely picky eaters, but when they have a better understanding of how the food they eat can help them do better at the sports they love, they’re a lot more likely to eat their veggies!
The nutrition component of the program includes teaching kids and teens how to:
Eat balanced meals throughout the day
Stay hydrated for health and performance
Choose nutrient-dense foods to fuel their movements
Make the best choices to fuel their bodies for training and competition
Make Friends and Have Fun!
Last, but certainly not least, our program is fun! We don’t believe that training and exercise should ever be punishment. Whether your child is a developing student athlete or they’re just trying to find something active that they don’t hate, we work to instill joy and fun into our programs – to show our athletes that training is a celebration of the body and all the amazing things it can do. Plus, your child will be training with kids their age. They’ll learn and grow together with plenty of chances to bond and build lasting friendships. Ready to get started? Sign up for the 8-week youth strength and conditioning program now! Have more questions? Reach out to us today!
Weightlifting is a form of exercise that involves lifting heavy weights for the purpose of building strength and muscle mass. While weightlifting has traditionally been associated with younger individuals and athletes, it can also be a highly beneficial form of exercise for individuals over the age of 35. In fact, weightlifting can be particularly important for older adults, as it can help combat age-related changes in muscle mass, bone density, and overall fitness.
One of the key benefits of weightlifting after the age of 35 is improved strength. As we age, our muscle mass tends to decrease, which can make it more challenging to perform everyday activities such as carrying groceries, climbing stairs, or even getting up from a chair. However, weightlifting can help maintain and build muscle mass, improving overall strength and making these activities easier. Additionally, increased muscle mass can lead to improved metabolism, as muscle tissue burns more calories than fat tissue.
Another important benefit of weightlifting after the age of 35 is increased bone density. Bone density tends to decrease with age, particularly in women, leading to an increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures. However, weightlifting can help improve bone density by placing stress on the bones, stimulating bone growth and remodeling. This can help reduce the risk of fractures and maintain overall bone health.
Weightlifting can also be beneficial for improving balance and coordination, which can be particularly important for older adults. Olympic weightlifting, in particular, requires a great deal of balance and coordination, which can improve these skills with practice. This can help reduce the risk of falls and injuries, which can be more common in older adults.
In addition to physical benefits, weightlifting can also have positive effects on mental health. Exercise has been shown to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, and weightlifting can be a particularly effective form of exercise for improving mood and reducing stress. Additionally, weightlifting can provide a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction, as individuals see improvements in their strength and fitness over time.
For older adults who are interested in weightlifting, a specialized Masters weightlifting program can be particularly beneficial. These programs are designed to meet the specific needs and abilities of older athletes, with a focus on proper technique, reduced training volume, and incorporation of accessory exercises. Additionally, individualized programming can be used to tailor workouts to an individual’s specific goals and abilities, ensuring that progress is being made while also avoiding injury.
Overall, weightlifting can be an effective and enjoyable way to maintain and improve overall health and fitness as we age. The benefits of weightlifting after the age of 35 include improved strength, increased bone density, better balance and coordination, boosted metabolism, and improved mental health. With proper technique and guidance, weightlifting can be a safe and effective form of exercise for individuals of all ages, helping to promote health and wellness into our later years.
To Summarize; Olympic weightlifting can have many benefits for individuals over the age of 35, including:
Improved strength: Weightlifting is an excellent way to increase muscle strength, particularly in the lower body. As we age, our muscle mass tends to decrease, which can make daily activities more challenging. Weightlifting can help maintain and build muscle mass, making everyday activities easier and reducing the risk of injury.
Increased bone density: Weightlifting can help improve bone density, which tends to decrease as we age. This is especially important for women, who are more likely to develop osteoporosis.
Improved balance and coordination: Olympic weightlifting requires a great deal of balance and coordination, which can help improve these skills with practice. This can be particularly beneficial for older individuals, who may be at a higher risk of falls.
Boosted metabolism: Weightlifting can increase your metabolism, which can help you burn more calories throughout the day. This can be particularly helpful for individuals who are trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight as they age.
Increased cardiovascular health: Weightlifting can also have cardiovascular benefits, such as improving blood pressure and reducing the risk of heart disease.
Improved mental health: Exercise, including weightlifting, has been shown to have positive effects on mental health, reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Overall, Olympic weightlifting can be an effective and enjoyable way to maintain and improve overall health and fitness as we age.
One of the most common mistakes we see with athletes is actually undereating and only prioritizing the meal/shake right after their workouts. Instead, focus on balance throughout the day!
