What they are trying to say is; When you call your self a powerlifter people are going to look at your meet totals not best lifts. If you have none then you start to lose respect around the community if you claim to be something with no experince under the bar nfron of judges

Keep your head up. You are trying to help people and that's what's really important.

You dont have to be a competing powerlifter to give advice on strength training and the same applies to bodybuilding.

I tend to agree with you about give strength training advice, but I wouldn't list my total X when you don't have an official total. I personally think what he is doing is fine, and wish him the best. I just want him to be prepared for the backlash of some internet gurus lol.

Thanks everyone, I will try to be mindful when speaking about my 1 rep maxes in the future and make sure that they aren't confused for something done in a sanctioned competition.

If anyone has any ideas for a video topic, maybe a concept they don't completely understand, I am actively brainstorming good topics. I am a huge herd and I am in the process of reading Supertraining a 2nd time right now, in addition to Science and Practice a 4th time just to brush up.

I think it has a solid foundation. In the video part you mentioned the accessory lifts to go with it, I think you should add that to the print version. Maybe go into more detail about having them rotate them to focus not only the weak points but the whole movement. Like floor press one week, then close grip the next.

I can tell this is a passion for you, I wish you the best. If you ever feel the need to bounce ideas off someone, happy to help.

How is this going?
