Powerful Perspectives

Happy Monday, everyone!

Let's get down to business.

For this week's entertainment weekly we talk a little bit about how we have been occupying ourselves including an analysis of If We Were Villians by M.L. Rio and Julianna's concluding thoughts on The Truly Devious series by Maureen Johnson. We also discuss briefly the new releases of Dune Part 2 in theaters.

For all of you who have been following along on our Full Send Prep Series, we are now bringing it to a close with a talk about Post Meet Blues.

To kick off the discussion, we start by talking about some of the things we have been up to now that we have a little bit of extra time on our hands with the meeting behind us. This, of course, spirals a bit into some of the writing styles we love and love to hate in classic literature. 

A big meet can take up a lot of mental preparation as well as physical, so it's not uncommon for the post-meet blues to hit soon after the competition. This can come in a lot of different forms depending on goals, time in powerlifting, and results of the meet itself. Join us as we discuss some of the different forms, and how our post-meet blues are hitting us this time around. We also discuss a few different ways to combat the blues so gym sessions remain strong throughout the transition period between the meet and the next big goal you have for training.

Welcome back, everybody, to a very special meet recap episode!

On this week's entertainment weekly we talk about our romcom movie of the week, Upgraded, and how it has compared to our previous romcom fails. We also discuss the Disney throwbacks we have been watching and the changes we have been noticing in television throughout the past couple of years.

After a long six weeks of prep competition week has finally arrived. This past Saturday Julianna and Savannah took the platform at our home gym.

We discuss our thoughts and feelings going into the day, the attempts, and how each lift played out. We close out the episode with our overall feelings about the meet as a whole. It showcases the ups and downs that come throughout the meet day and how important it is to take on each lift as a new challenge.

Happy Monday everyone!

We are officially one week out, and we are tired!

For this week's entertainment weekly both of us spent a lot of time reading so we talked a little bit about our books of the week. Hopefully, if you get nothing else from this podcast you get some good book recommendations.

For this week's main topic, we talk about what it is like being one week away from a meet. From the peak to the taper. A lot goes into preparing for a competition and once the last two weeks come around a lot of that preparation becomes mental. Julianna and Savannah share what goes through their heads during the last week of competition and how they prep for the big day including a helpful guide to selecting attempts.

We hope you enjoy it, and we will see you next week for our meet recap!

Happy Monday all! 

Big week for powerlifting as we had our version of the superbowl and our entertainment weekly. Sheffield 2024 In this week's episode we break down all the big events and our thoughts. 

4:45 First off we breakdown the woman’s events. The woman’s event was probably the biggest due to the battle of the 69s and the fact that there was so much more room to break the records. 

36:00  Next breakdown is of the men’s not as much of a fight but a lot of switch in the ranking compared to previous years and expectations. 

47:28  Finally we discuss production, future competitors, and other notable plans concerning Sheffield 2025.

Happy 3 weeks out for us! :)

To kick off this week's episode we start with our entertainment weekly involving a big announcement made by Taylor Swift at the Grammys. Something we were watching purely because we speculated there would be a big announcement.

For all you powerlifters and other athletes out there, join us for our main segment, where we discuss how we are feeling three weeks out from our competition.

This past week hit us both like a truck, and we had to navigate a lot of physical, mental, and emotional roadblocks in both training and life.

In this episode, we share our experiences, thoughts, and reflections as we go through this prep to show how much goes into these preparations outside of purely showing up and completing your workout.

In the meantime follow us for updates on all our social media accounts.

For this week's topic, we discuss our goals for the year of 2024- both powerlifting related and life related- and our tips to succeed at any goals you may have this year. Step by step, we walk through easy ways to tackle whatever goal you may have and break it up into little bite sized chunks that will lead to success rather than trying to make life-alternating changes all in the first week of the year.
