After college I had no clue what I wanted to do. My younger brother had just passed in an untimely manner and I was looking for a community to belong to. Luckily I found the fitness community and even more specifically, powerlifting. Fast forward a year later, I had been personal training for about 6 months and I was approached to do some powerlifting coaching. I had no plan to make training and coaching a career but this is when I really started to enjoy it. I realized I could help others in the way that the fitness community helped me. Feel free to follow my business page @mac.strength.power . I will be using this page to post updates on clients, technique videos, fitness advice, and it is also where you can get your hands on one of those sweet shirts I’m wearing!! Thank you for your support 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽💪🏼🙏🏼 📸 @ga0ussou

Fix the start, fix the press 🫡 A lot of lifters struggle with this, myself included, especially on higher rep sets when fatigue makes your setup sloppy. But on singles, you can be way more precise. Setting the bar at the front of the J-hooks helps lock in a consistent start position so you’re not sliding too far under the rack or drifting back mid unrack. Small setup detail, big difference in execution. @suppdawgsupps code: MAC10

1x633. Week 4 Primary Deadlift. Got to take this as a win. First block after my most recent meet so things weren’t going to be perfect. Just gotta take stacking those chips. 🫡 @suppdawgsupps code: MAC10

Most lifters rush accessories. The best lifters progress them. Tag a friend that doesn’t push their accessories‼️ @suppdawgsupps code: MAC10

Slow ≠ paused. Paused squats and paused deadlifts are programmed to remove momentum, eliminate the stretch reflex, and force you to own the hardest position of the lift. If the bar never comes to a complete stop, you’re not getting the benefit, you’re just doing a slower rep. When paused work shows up in your program, make the pause obvious. That’s where the strength actually gets built. @suppdawgsupps code: MAC10 #powerlifting #strenghttraining #squat #deadlift
