New Year Special: Circles (Emerson)

Powerlifting Made Simple isn't about dumbing down the sport—it's about stripping away the noise to focus on what actually makes you stronger. Hosted by Edward Alicdan Jr, this podcast explores powerlifting as more than just moving heavy weight. It's about developing the kind of strength that builds character, connects communities, and transforms how you approach challenge in every area of life.

Each episode combines practical training wisdom with deeper insights into the mental and emotional aspects of strength development. We'll cover everything from giving yourself permission to fail and breaking through plateaus, to building supportive lifting communities and discovering your authentic training style. Whether you're stepping under the bar for the first time or chasing loftier totals, you'll find tools to make your journey more sustainable, more fulfilling, and ultimately more successful.

This show is for lifters who want to grow stronger without sacrificing their humanity—who understand that true strength isn't just about what you can move, but who you become in the process of moving it. I believe powerlifting can be a practice of self-discovery, a path to building resilience, and a way to inspire others to pursue their own version of strength.

Join me as we explore how kindness, curiosity, and conscious practice can transform your relationship with the barbell—and with yourself.
