There are music festivals. And then there is FloydFest. FloydFest is pure magic. It'd be inadequate to describe it any other way. If you know, you know. Located in the beautiful mountains of Floyd, VA, their mission is to be the best music festival experience of our time. And they accomplish this year after year by selling a limited quantity of tickets to the highest-quality event experience, bar none, celebrating music, art and life in an intimate, visually stunning environment. There are few places in this world that combine music - both rising and well-known artists, art, comedy, vendors, acceptance, and genuine love like FloydFest. Lucky us to get to have Sam and Brian on the mic for this episode.

Episode 84 (3/16/22) - Sam CalhounIntroductions: Sam Calhoun3x USAPL National Champion2x IPF Worlds Silver MedalistCurrently holds 67.5 kg American Record TotalCoaches in person at the Iron Asylum in Virginia and does Online Coaching https://www.instagram.com/sam.s.calhoun/https://samstrong500.com/Sam's Original PostThoughtsListener submitted scenario: I have a  wry experienced lifter (long time barbell and wrestling athlete) who has competed twice before.10 minutes prior to his session the lifter mis- placed his cell phone and has some anxiety  about being to find it and stay in contact with his wife. We search the warm up room and all of our gear bags but to no avail. We press forward with warm ups and head back to the tunnel to await our first squat. As a coach I tell him, we will find the phone  By all accounts he was primed and ready physically to go off for a big meet. Unfortunately what happened next wrecked the day. One of the National Level referees comes back into the tunnel and goes on a rant about how no white lights were being given out for squats this morning and how no lifter is getting remotely close to parallel much less to adequate depth and warns us (3 lifters out) that if we have questionable depth, we better make sure we push it further. As a coach I hear that as some guy giving advice, but for the lifter that was a major point of concern and he began to question his depth which ultimately led to him altering his form  creating an 0/3 bomb on squats due to compromised form and a lost cell phone. This then translated to bench where the mental disconnect is continued and we went 0/3. My question ultimately comes in two forms, how do you handle this situation as 1.) An Athlete/Competitor and 2.) As a Coach. .#PLSituation: The meet director of a meet you are competing in decides to bring in a band instead of a playlist.  They ask each lifter for input of which band to bring in. It can be any band from any era. What band would you choose to play at your meet and why? #NewLifterTip You've likely been eating clean leading into the competition. Immediately after weigh-ins is not the time to make up for it by eating a bunch of junk.Agree or Disagree?PrimeTime Ideas for NationalsFollow/Direct Message us @PLBalladsPodcast on Instagram & Facebook or email us at PLBalladsPodcast@gmail.comMore Information about the Podcast and Team Rohr Powerlifting: https://solo.to/plballadspodcastGet the Team Rohr Training App!The Powerlifting & Power Ballads Podcast is co-hosted by Josh Rohr and Lara Sturm and sponsored by Team Rohr Powerlifting - for all of your powerlifting coaching and meet day handling needs.
