Killer birds, rabid squirrels, and flying spiders. We talk about terrifying animals and, our recent trip out to Showcase Strength & Fitness ( @showcase ) to hang out with some awesome Ritual homies. We also dive deep into some discussion about people devoting too much of their energy and emotions to negative talk/thoughts. . We discuss how unproductive sitting around talking about other people ultimately is. We are all going through life, dealing with problems, and trying to find our way through the world. It’s our job to try and be aware that we don’t always know the full depth of people’s lives when we pass judgment on them. . Follow Your Hosts! @molliawilliams @emery_mullen @tim_ritual .

This week on the podcast we talk about the communities surrounding various subcultures, including powerlifting. They have historically had a tendency to develop in geographical pockets that tend to spring up in different places, and we discuss how those patterns are potentially changing with the rise of social media and the ability to connect to people from all over the globe. . We also touch on the topic of hesitancy and fear, and why so many people are afraid to commit, whether it’s signing up for a first meet or hiring a coach for the first time, or taking a leap in business or their personal lives. .

Podcast time! It’s been a busy week; we went down to the APF Southern States Rick Lawrence Memorial Meet this past weekend and @molli competed, putting up a massive PR total. We spend some time recapping her meet, and we get into a discussion about the habits that factored into her success this weekend.

We can always be better if we choose to be, so don’t settle for complacency. . The Ritual Podcast is available on YouTube, iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, and Ritualapparel.co .

On this episode, not only are we bringing on another strong and interesting person, we are announcing our newest Ritual Athlete Inez Carrasquillo ( @dyinfetus ) . I had such a great time speaking with Inez. She is probably one of the most fun, upbeat, and positive people I’ve met through powerlifting. Oddly enough, Ritual has been at every meet Inez has competed in and its always a pleasure watching her do her insanely strong thing. We talk about everything from her relationship with her coach Matt Blannkenburger, her progression through powerlifting, PED’s and her being mother. We also talk a little bit about her newest strength sports venture! . We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Inez to the podcast and the Ritual team!

This week we have a slightly different format for the weekend episode. Tim Ritual takes the reins solo style to discuss how we tend to get caught up in the little things. . Most of us are guilty in over analyzing insignificant factors. The important thing is to learn to identify them and to always ask ourselves why we allow them to impact us. Tim gets into this and how it plays its roll in our lives both in and out of the gym. . #SBTR Ritualapparel.co
This week we spend some time talking about some of the mistakes we personally made when we were newer to powerlifting, and we discuss the things we wish we could change if we could go back and give ourselves advice based on what we know now. . We also get into the topic of DIY culture and mindset, and how valuable it is to success, and the importance of learning to rely on yourself to make things happen. . ritualapparel.co #SBTR
We’re chatting about werewolves, horror movies (good, weird, and cheesy), and running into wild alligators. Just one of the many perks of living in Florida. . We follow up on some previous conversation and get into some parallels we see between powerlifting and the music scene, and how extreme attitudes about our passions, whether it be music or strength sports, can sometimes hinder new growth. We also spend some time discussing trying to find balance between work and our personal lives and our hobbies/passions. . ritualapparel.co #SBTR

We also get into discussion about inconsistent judging in powerlifting, and how striving to push the standard of judging at meets is so vital to the sport. Along with that, we spend some time talking about how detrimental it can be to fall into dogmatic thinking regarding training, and the all too common problem of lifters being close-minded in their pursuit of strength. . #SBTR
This week we are joined by our newest Ritual Athlete Craig Foster . Craig is strong as hell and there is always something to be learned from someone performing at the highest level of their sport. We laugh, we get into all things involving his lifting, training environment, and what it took for him to get to where he is now. . Give this episode a listen and get to know an incredibly strong and genuine person. . The podcast is available on all your favorite streaming platforms. . #SBTR
We jump into a discussion about the early days of Ritual, and how the people around Tim and Molli perceived their growth and success. We talk about why some people are so uncomfortable with seeing other people prosper, and the similarities/differences between subcultures like the music scene and powerlifting. . We also get into an important conversation about utilizing aggression in our training, talking about how being angry and full of rage doesn’t always do as much good as people tend to think it does. . After all, if you can’t control your own emotions, then how are you going to control a bar loaded with hundreds of pounds? . Ritualapparel.co
This week we are joined by the very strong Seth and Meana Albersworth . Seth and Meana are both extremely strong and extremely passionate individuals, and to be completely honest they’re two of my favorite people in powerlifting. They are very devoted to educating the community and the delineation of good and helpful information, as well as being incredibly accomplished lifters themselves. We get into their powerlifting careers and training history, their current training, education, their future and their newest venture Activated Performance. . Seth and Meana provide some unique observations about how people get better, coaching, and genetics. Their experience alone as lifters makes this podcast valuable.
