In Episode 94 of The Powerlifter's Den, Cam sits down with Crystal Tate (@ctate87) and longtime teammate Shaun Kopplin to talk about legacy, loyalty, and lifting for the right reasons. Crystal was the first woman to deadlift 600lbs raw and squat 700lbs in wraps — but she's never chased the spotlight. After spinal reconstruction and a full knee replacement, she's back chasing single-ply records at Holy Wars with zero ego and all grit.Shaun joins to help share her story — from the early days to what's next, and why powerlifting is still about team, not followers.

Big deal: https://erickimphotography.com/1071-pound-rack-pull-new-world-record-at-6-5x-bodyweight-165-pounds-486-kilograms-75-kg-bodyweight-god-mode/Video file- https://videos.files.wordpress.com/zsxIBnrd/my-project-54.mp4Why the 1,071-lb Rack Pull at 165 lb Is a Game-ChangerStrap in, lean forward, and feel the earth rumble—because what just went down isn't just another PR, it's a tectonic shift in the physics of human performance. Here's why God Mode at 6.5× bodyweight is the ultimate flex:1 — Defying the Laws of RatioBeyond “Normal” Limits: Most elite rack-pull ratios top out around 5×BW. Hitting 6.5×BW at 165 lb is like sprinting a sub-9-second 100 m—it stops people mid-scroll.New Apex Standard: This shatters the “ceiling” for above-knee strength, rewriting every strength table and force-curve graph ever drawn.2 — Visualization = ViralityFloating Bar Illusion: The bar “hovering” before departure looks supernatural—people think it's CGI or magnets. When you see it break off, jaws drop, clicks skyrocket, algorithms pick it up like moths to a flame.Cinematic Hype: Chalk dust, low-angle GoPro, dark gym—every frame is a poster for power, turning a workout into a viral event.3 — Primal Signal of DominanceTestosterone Goes Sonic: This lift isn't just muscle—it's a hormone-fueled manifesto. When you're pulling half-a-ton off pins, you're broadcasting “I operate above normal human constraints.”Conviction Made Visible: Your followers see raw willpower turned into kinetic force. That's the currency of true alpha energy.4 — Philosophy of the Iron-MindVolatility Training for Life: Just like you thrive on market swings, you thrive on bar oscillations. Stress is stimulus—crank the load, adapt the body, evolve the spirit.Stoic Spartan Ethos: Every rep is a ritual. You stare down gravity, crush doubt, and emerge hardened. That's not lifting—that's transcendence.5 — Ripple Effect on the CultureMeme Infrastructure: #GodMode #6.5xBW #MiddleFingerToGravity—each hashtag spawns its own tribe, remix culture, and hype cycle.Cross-Tribe Collision: Iron-game meets crypto-game. Powerlifters, traders, photographers—all converge to worship the same pure spectacle of strength.Bottom Line: This isn't just a record—it's a declaration. A statement that biology bows to willpower, that ratios are meant to be demolished, and that any barrier—physical, mental, or market-based—can be pulverized with enough conviction.So load the bar, chalk your hands, and channel your inner God Mode—because gravity is just the next challenge to conquer.

In dieser Episode Wir über das mentale Auf und Ab im Training, warum viele Powerlifter nach 1–2 Jahren wieder aufgeben – und wie stark dein Selbstbild eigentlich mit deinem Muskelzuwachs verknüpft ist.

In this episode of the Fiercely Fueled Podcast, coaches Joni and Pia explore the evolving trends in fitness and nutrition, particularly within the powerlifting community.

From the pressures faced by young lifters to bulk up, to the older generations struggling with diet culture norms, Joni and Pia emphasize the importance of understanding one's body, setting realistic goals, and the value of mental and physical health over adhering to transient trends.  Links and Resources:  Get our free pre & post-training meals guide https://guide.fiercelyfueled.com/podcast  Follow Fiercely Fueled Nutrition:    Instagram: @fiercelyfuelednutrition https://www.instagram.com/fiercelyfuelednutrition/    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fiercelyfueled    YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7sAH26zWzvrI-73I1J3icA

Both coach Justin and Amanda provide coaching services and can be found at this link.    In this episode of the Bacon Bibles and Barbells podcast, Coach Justin and Coach Amanda discuss the often misunderstood role of cardio in strength sports, particularly for powerlifters and strongman athletes. They debunk the myth that cardio kills gains, emphasizing its importance for recovery, conditioning, and overall health. The conversation covers various strategies for incorporating cardio into training regimens, the benefits for longevity in strength sports, and specific considerations for bodybuilders. The hosts also highlight the physiological effects of cardio on muscle recovery and performance, advocating for a balanced approach to training that includes cardiovascular fitness. takeaways Cardio is often misunderstood in strength sports. Strongman athletes can greatly benefit from cardio for conditioning. Powerlifters should not neglect cardio for health and recovery. Conditioning improves volume tolerance and overall performance. Bodybuilders use cardio to maintain conditioning and improve stage presence. Cardio helps remove metabolic waste from the body. Walking and light cardio can enhance quality of life for strength athletes. Incorporating cardio can lead to better recovery between sets. Cardio should be tailored to the specific needs of each strength sport. A balanced approach to training includes both strength and cardiovascular fitness

Isometrics can be beneficial but are not a one-size-fits-all solution. Muscle function and nervous system adaptation are crucial in rehab. Pain should guide rehabilitation strategies. Heavy loads must be relative to the individual's condition. Powerlifters can experience patellar tendinopathy due to high volume and intensity. Biomechanics play a role in tendon injuries but are not the sole factor. Chronic workload changes can lead to tendon pain. Expectations and beliefs can influence treatment outcomes. Individualized approaches are essential for effective rehabilitation. High bar back squats may aggravate tendon injuries more than low bar squats. Mismanagement of tendon injuries often leads to prolonged recovery times. Progressive loading is crucial for effective rehabilitation. Remote rehabilitation can provide more frequent and tailored care. Imaging can create fear and confusion about tendon injuries. Partial tears may not always require surgical intervention. Post-surgery rehabilitation is highly individualized and can be challenging. Injections may provide temporary relief but are not a guaranteed solution. Stretching tendons should be minimized, especially in early stages of rehab. BPC-157's effectiveness remains largely anecdotal and requires more research.   Alex's links: https://stan.store/training_with_tendinopathy Alex's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/training_with_tendinopathy/ Notes: https://jackedathlete.com/podcast-137-tendons-with-alex-nelson/

Time for a catch-up chat with vegan powerlifter Daniel Austin! He joins me to discuss approaches to vegan advocacy, adapting our training and diet as we age, his history in powerlifting, the new audiobook version of The Way of the Vegan Meathead, and what he's been up to in the 6 years since we last spoke on the show.    Daniel's been vegan since 2005, and powerlifting competitively since 2015. He's competed in both major American powerlifting organizations (the USPA and the USAPL) and has qualified for national championships in both. His goal as a vegan in strength sports has always been to demonstrate that veganism is no limitation to gaining max strength. He says, “I am proud to be part of a growing movement of athletes utilizing sport as a form of activism for animals”. As of 2024, Daniel owns all current powerlifting records in Texas for his category, and 3 of the 4 standing records for his category in Virginia, where he recently moved.
