The Powerlifting Diet - How to Eat for Maximum Strength
Although the stereotype has changed, quality nutrition is probably the last thing you associate with powerlifting. For decades, the image of a 300-pound overweight behemoth was the face and body of the sport. Bodybuilders used to even joke during their offseason that they might as well get fat and become powerlifters. However, powerlifting has weight classes, which makes nutrition uniquely important. It’s hard to be competitive at a high level if you have a lot of extra body fat. Look at the best powerlifters in the sport today - John Haack, Russel Orhii, Taylor Atwood, they are all jacked. To maximize your potential on the platform, you want to carry as much lean body mass as possible while staying within the weight-class parameters. The strongest athlete isn’t always the most muscular one, but having more muscle mass is going to equal a stronger version of you. So, nutrition is a great place to start if you want to improve your powerlifting game. The trouble is, what does that even mean? In this podcast, we cover what eating for strength is all about. Sit back, relax, and enjoy.
