Welcome To “The Sticking Point”

The Sticking Point is designed for self-coached powerlifters who are determined to improve their total and reach new heights in the sport.

Every self-coached lifter wants to maximise their performance and break personal records. But most end up plateauing or getting injured because they rely on trial-and-error training methods, outdated programming, or neglect key aspects of recovery and mindset. If this sounds familiar, you've probably tried generic online programs and self-designed routines, or maybe you've even invested in expensive coaching services, but still haven't seen the results you hoped for.

Here's Why:

Most self-coached lifters in powerlifting focus on chasing numbers without understanding the principles behind effective programming, recovery, and injury prevention.

As a result:

- They end up stalled in progress, unable to hit new PRs.

- They feel frustrated and overwhelmed, doubting their ability to succeed.

- Ultimately, they face burnout or injuries that derail their progress entirely.

But after 18 years of competing, coaching, and studying powerlifting, I discovered that the key isn't just about lifting heavy, it’s about combining smart programming, proper recovery strategies, and a winning mindset to consistently improve your total while staying injury-free.

So, if you want to become a stronger, smarter lifter, but also struggle with the challenges of being self-coached, then this newsletter is for you.
