Is Modern Powerlifting Burning Athletes Out? | Jason Tremblay

Why do some powerlifters improve rapidly, reach exceptional levels of performance, and then plateau, get injured, or disappear from competition? In this interview with Jason Tremblay, Taylor Atwood’s coach and co-founder of The Strength Guys, we explore how to build a powerlifting training system that produces elite results without sacrificing the athlete’s health or long-term career. We discuss programming, periodization, volume, frequency, RPE, effective training dose, specificity, and accessory work. Jason explains why aggressive training may sometimes be necessary to win at the highest level, but should not define an athlete’s entire career. We also compare our approaches to individual weak points, injury management, and competition preparation, while examining the influence of genetics, recovery, lifestyle, and competitive pressure. In the second half, we discuss athlete psychology, attempt selection, the myth of giving “110%,” managing arousal on meet day, and how much influence a coach can realistically have in both the short and long term. A technical and honest conversation about coaching an athlete not only to achieve a great result today, but to continue progressing for years. Leave your questions for Jason in the comments. They may become the starting point for a second episode. 💥 È arrivata la SCUOLA DELLA FORZA DEL NERD TRAINING CENTER: iscriviti oggi ➡ https://nerdtrainingcenter.it/scuola-... * * 💥 ALLENATI ANCHE TU CON IL VITRUVE ➡ https://nerdtrainingcenter.it/prodott... 📚 EBOOK GRATUITO su come scrivere un PROGRAMMA DI ACCUMULO 👉 https://nerdtrainingcenter.it/ebook-p... 🏋️ TRE VIDEOLEZIONI GRATIS per iniziare a programmare come un COACH D'ÉLITE 👉 https://nerdtrainingcenter.it/opt-in-... 💊 Su My Protein puoi ottenere SEMPRE IL MASSIMO DELLO SCONTO con il codice FILIPPOMYP ➤➤➤ https://shorturl.at/ksJLN 💪 * * 💥 SCOPRI UN NUOVO MODO DI ALLENARTI 💥 Sei un APPASSIONATO di powerlifting, un atleta o semplicemente ti alleni in SALA PESI e vuoi raggiungere i tuoi obiettivi con un metodo SCIENTIFICO?
