In something of a sequel to our last episode, we discuss the USAPL's new, much higher qualifying totals for the 2025 Raw Nationals. Obviously higher QTs mean fewer entries. That has the potential to reshape everything about the meet. Should national meets be open to a lot of lifters or just the top select few?

I developed my love for athletics at four years old playing baseball. I played baseball for fourteen years, and it was my dream to play major league baseball. Along the way, our coaches made it clear that strength and conditioning would be integral to taking our performance to the next level. When I reached high school, I fell in love with the training and offseason aspect of my sport, and sought to learn as much as I could about strength training. Our team's strength coach was my first mentor, and he quickly realized how much I gravitated toward strength training. He quickly pointed me in the direction of a world of information that would change my life forever. Fast forward to senior year of high school, during which I competed in my first powerlifting meet. I was hooked. My freshman year I began coaching powerlifters at MIT for free to practically apply the fundamentals I had learned over the years. I mentored under phenomenal coaches and amassed a sizable team during undergraduate. I quickly realized that I was really good at what I did, and my critical thinking skills developed during my academic career would lend themselves to my coaching success. I quickly began to dedicate an equal amount of time to developing as a coach as I did as a student. What started as a team of friends, grew into a team of lifters I would coach at Raw Nationals, the Arnold and even IPF Worlds. I have made it a goal to become a fully comprehensive coach, immersing myself in both the educational world and practical world. I have learned from some of the best coaches in powerlifting, movement science and pain management, as well as immersing myself in as much in-person coaching and meet day handling environments as I can. To date, I have coached over a hundred lifters, and have a team of incredible lifters that features national champions, world champions and medalists, and record holders. I have recently had the privilege of being able to hire incredible coaches, and put them through a rigorous mentorship program, to ensure they learn as much as they can, and are challenged to think critically. I truly believe we are capable of guiding lifters of all abilities, background, and personalities toward their goals. In this podcast, Sean and I discuss the historical events that led up to modern power lifting preparation. Special consideration was placed on discussing programming for the sport.

Hey everyone! Really quick to update everyone, last week we had some technical difficulties. I (Jimmy) was without internet for 5 days last week and I had no way to get this episode off my computer or upload it. This is the first weekly upload we have missed ever. It really upset me not to be able to get an episode out. Anyway we hope you enjoy the episode. We start out the episode by going over some of our worst experiences recording this podcast. Things that were absolutely horrible to go through just for the sake of getting an episode out. Then we go into a discussion on how to dirty bulk or how to clean bulk.

To end off the episode we get into a little bit of shit talk involving each others lifts and Jimmy S' first competition.
