Gymchat 229 - How to Prepare for a Powerlifting Competition (Ben McLaughlin)


Powerlifting. Love it.

If you're about to compete - whether you're new to the training world or just beginning the journey - how do you prepare? What should you expect, how early do you need to start training specifically for the meet, and what should you be doing?





Taking us through the entire process is Powerlifter Ben McLaughlin, joined by Personal Trainer Josh Hewett . If you've got questions/comments for Ben or Josh, just swing by the event page for this Gymchat (during the discussion itself). Details below.





Details -


Who : Powerlifter Ben McLaughlin and Josh Hewett

Topic : How to Prepare for a Powerlifting Competition

When : Wednesday Dec 18, 8pm EDT (the Event page shows what time that is in your local timezone)

See you there.




Previously : Last week we held Gymchat 228 - In-Season Training for Hockey (with Personal Trainers Conor Doherty and Josh Hewett ). Great discussion.

And if you'd like to suggest a future topic or take part in one of the upcoming Gymchats, just drop Josh a line. We'd love to hear from you.
