Ep 88 Going All In: Powerlifter To Bodybuilder
In this episode, Shane Storey reflects on the lessons learned from spending the last year fully focused on bodybuilding after years of alternating between powerlifting and bodybuilding. He breaks down how his training mindset, nutrition habits, recovery, and long-term goals have evolved as he works toward stepping on stage again in 2027
Major Takeaways
- Powerlifting can be a powerful gateway into bodybuilding because it builds discipline, muscle, and strength.
- Training environment matters more than ego.
- Bodybuilding requires more precision in exercise selection and effort distribution.
- Progress is not just about adding load; it’s about developing weak points and improving presentation.
- Long-term health and sustainability matter just as much as performance.
- The best results come from consistent process, not obsession with the outcome.
- “Squat, bench, and deadlift were the king exercises.”
- “Training around people stronger than you changes your whole standard.”
- “Every single exercise within the session has to be treated with the same intent.”
- “I need to act like a pro if I want to become one.”
- “The mindset has to be on the process, not the outcome.”
- Natural bodybuilders
- Powerlifters considering physique goals
- Lifters choosing between strength and aesthetics
- Coaches and trainees interested in long-term progression
- Anyone wanting a practical look at training, nutrition, and mindset evolution
- Shane’s coaching
- Powerlifting competition experience in Ireland and abroad
