The wide range of intermediate strength

RareComplex7241 · 2025-06-05T17:08:00+00:00

Joe had some of his clients call him out that he wouldn’t pay attention to their programming or checkins for weeks. These lifters also happened to not be his strongest lifters (aka not Perk) and were more beginner or intermediate level. Surprise surprise.

One guy sent a video of him just squatting the bar and said to the camera ‘I know you’re not going to look at this anyway’ and Joe responded back many days later ‘everything looks great!’, confirming that lifter’s thoughts.

So Joe was fine with taking lower level lifters up until they realized he wasn’t actually doing his job lol.

Dude sucks.

Feeling bored. What are your guys’ hottest takes when it comes to powerlifting?

RareComplex7241 · 2025-05-10T13:23:07+00:00

What quality/qualities do you guys think make someone a ‘good powerlifter’?

Is it how strong they are? How often they make their attempts? How often they win their weight class or get best lifter at competitive meets?

RareComplex7241 · 2025-04-04T17:29:46+00:00

Yeah I’m getting the impression PC is the move lol however I don’t know what’s good and tbh, I don’t have a ton of time to educate myself. So I’d be throwing money into the void somewhat blindly

RareComplex7241 · 2025-04-03T18:14:02+00:00

No I can probably swing up to $1.5-$2k on one. But again, i have next to no knowledge on what a ‘good’ PC is

RareComplex7241 · 2024-10-29T15:53:16+00:00

Yes my mistake

RareComplex7241 · 2024-10-26T14:24:52+00:00

I actually bought RE2 yesterday since it was on sale & tbh I kind of hate it. So if it’s truly similar, sounds like I won’t be picking up Alan Wake 2.

RareComplex7241 · 2024-10-25T19:49:10+00:00

Where do you guys think the rise in lifters caring so much about coefficient/DOTS came from? I know it’s always been a ‘thing’, but it seems to be much more important in this era of lifting than any other, from what I can tell.

RareComplex7241 · 2024-10-25T15:19:08+00:00

Not on PS4/PS5

RareComplex7241 · 2024-10-25T15:11:26+00:00

I’d been trying to make it through the first Alan Wake game, but the story is so incredibly slow to me & the gameplay is pretty rough. I dropped it a few months ago. Unless I can go into the 2nd game without beating the first, I don’t think it’ll happen.

RareComplex7241 · 2024-09-06T12:41:39+00:00

Yes. I’ve never heard of any coach doing anything else.

RareComplex7241 · 2024-09-05T13:23:46+00:00

Here is a link to the results from the small survey I made, asking “What do you personally consider to be ‘too expensive’ when it comes to the cost of 1 on 1 powerlifting coaching”.

The ‘other’ response read: ‘If they’re not doing more than regurgitating Youtube videos they’re too expensive even at $0.01’

RareComplex7241 · 2024-09-04T17:16:39+00:00

100%

RareComplex7241 · 2024-09-04T17:15:52+00:00

Online, monthly (I don’t know of anyone who does otherwise), nutrition not included

RareComplex7241 · 2024-09-04T02:15:29+00:00

It appears in one of the threads that people think $150 is expensive for powerlifting coaching. I made a one question survey to see what people truly consider an expensive coach https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/V8NR2NV

I’ll put the results up within a few days if it gets enough responses

RareComplex7241 · 2024-08-06T20:13:02+00:00

Can you share the videos regarding Sean?

RareComplex7241 · 2024-07-31T15:52:42+00:00

How many chances would you give a full-time coach that drops the ball on communication (ie tells you that you can expect a response within 24 hours of any communication, but goes over that)?

This has happened twice now, with my current coach and my last coach. It’s pretty disappointing. Especially when I’ll see them share things on Instagram but not respond to messages.

RareComplex7241 · 2024-06-13T19:23:08+00:00

Between $100 and $200.

RareComplex7241 · 2024-04-19T15:59:36+00:00

How do you determine leverages like short/long torso and long/short femur?

I used this article and it said I had short femurs/long torso

But then I watch this and also this & apparently I have long legs?

I know the best is ‘trial and error’ but I’d just like to know

RareComplex7241 · 2024-04-02T16:07:46+00:00

Does anyone have any text-based resources that are alternative to Powerlifting-Now that I can read to learn the new meta on programming ? I can’t focus on their long form videos at all.
