This week Nate and Liz talk about the mission of Fortis Fitness Studio: Redefining Strong for Everyone. We typically think of strong in a physical sense, lifting big weights, being able to move heavy objects and even having big muscles for everyone to see. However this is may only part, or it may not be at all what being strong means to you. Fortis Fitness Studio / Powerlifting was built on the idea that small consistent steps in the direction of your goals can lead to big results.

Some food for thought:

In the sport of Powerlifting, there are a handful of individuals who are chasing that number 1 spot,  yet the vast majority of everyone on Open Powerlifting will never be in that position. 

They are still out there competing and growing the sport.

Why is that?

Because powerlifting has never been about being the best in the world, it's about pushing your body and your mind to do things you previously thought were impossible  and in doing so, Redefining Strong for Everyone.

This week Nate and Liz discuss where the name Fortis came from and what it means to them. They also discuss how they starting off to build a community and a lot of the physical parts of the gym have come as a result of the community they have built. Powerlifting is a long journey and it is much more enjoyable and sustainable when doing it alongside others that are encouraging you, pushing you and keeping you accountable to your goals. Whether you are near or far, we strive to make sure all of our Fortis powerlifting Team feels welcomed and included as they push towards their goals.

This week Nate and Liz begin to discuss the ugly truth about powerlifting. They talk about why powerlifting is so confusing to follow, future organization of the sport that may help, as well as discuss why you as the athlete and even coach should be less worried about the federation and more worried about training and getting stronger together as a community. At the end of the day that's what powerlifting is all about: getting stronger together and finding a new level of strength, whether it be mentally or physically. Join us of this awesome episode and stay tuned for pt. 2!

This week Nate and Liz discuss the important role that technique can play in powerlifting in both increasing performance and injury prevention. Technique is highly individual, however implementing basic principles of human movement mechanics can help you lift heavier, longer and better on the platform.

Who knows. But what we do know is every powerlifter has an "offseason" and in today's  episode Nate and Liz discuss how to optimize your offseason so that you can maximize your results. Though it's generally not viewed as the most fun time of training, it's not as heavy, more reps etc., it is the most important part of training because a good offseason can set you up for a big platform performance.
