Awesome article Rif! You have a wealth of knowledge about powerlifting (among other things).

Keep the articles flowing Rif :)

I want to see you write an article on your training methodologies and how to deal with injuries (Tension vs. Flow exercises like swings, snatches, etc.)

This maybe a stupid question -- but the powerlifter in the picture has quite extensively developed shoulders and biceps --- is this a result of lifting focused on biceps and shoulders, such as barbell curls and other. Or is this a pleasant 'side effect' from the standard bench/DLs/squats?

195 x 1 x 11 , 20 kg swings 5 x 8/8, floor pushups 35, 25

  Not great sleep and a bit sore ( no aspirin for last three days) so all in all it was a strong day . Just definitely not 'fresh'  ...
