How to prepare for your best performance
By George Hurt 

This isn’t going to be an article explaining how to set up your program to add 30kg to your best total in 6 weeks…
But what it will cover is how you can set yourself up mentally and physically to go out there on the platform and
display your true strength. When we first start competing just getting through the meet can be seen as an
achievement but it can leave you feeling disheartened if you felt like you left kilos on the platform just to go 9 for 9.
In order to pull out your best possible performance, what you do outside the gym during your prep is just as
important as what you under the bar. 

To state the obvious - Plan! “Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance” if you want to take on a big project

The Ultimate SS Yoke User Guide

As someone with shoulder problems, elitefts cofounder and CEO Dave Tate can attest to the SS Yoke Bar being a blessing of sorts. It’s the only bar he’s able to use for squatting week after week without damaging his back.

1Source - Creating and Running a Supplement Company

Dan Brunt-Murphy

The supplement industry, the minefield that is filled with smoke & mirrors, hidden proprietary blends and can be based on cults, sales powered by paid influencers that don’t even use the products.

So, firstly I’d like to say I’m no expert but I have spent alot of time soaking in the knowledge and trying to master my craft thus far.

I have been using supplements for as long as I can remember, dating back to the days of OG Jack3d & Lemon/Lime Noxpump.

I’ve dabbled with the sale of niche aminos & other forms of supplements etc in the past but I wanted to really challenge myself and what better way than in one of the most saturated markets, arguably in the world today..

Injuries - The Sharon edition

Well they are a load of nonsense aren’t they?

Most people don’t care about powerlifting but those that do it often care about it passionately and an injury can feel like a devastating blow, but the reality is that when you push your body to its limits sometimes it breaks.

For a lot of us powerlifting has been a saviour in times when the noise in your head can be too much. A place you go where you set everything aside, the world goes quiet and it’s just you and the weight on the bar and suddenly that’s ripped away, your body isn’t cooperating. What a load of bollox. This is where the real test as a lifter starts. You can rebuild or you can quit.

My injuries -

I’ve had a few minor ones but the two biggest ones that have impacted me quite a lot are a broken humerus and a partial lateral pec tear both done benching.

When I broke my arm, there was signs that

Equipped lifting

Adam Hindle - EliteFTS UK

Equipped powerlifting, what is it? Many diehard old lifters, myself included, will tell you it’s ‘proper lifting’. Are we dinosaurs and sad old broken fucks that refuse to let go of the glory days? Probably. But equipped lifting whether you are talking single, multi or the new kid unlimited, is just powerlifting. We wear supportive compressive gear comprised of (generally) poly material in layers from 1-as many as you want (I have heard rumour of an american company that have made 6 ply briefs). Believe it or not there is a lot of science behind the super tight constrictive pants and baby grows that you see fat guys with red faces and c-pap mask scars sweating themselves into at meets.

The kit itself- Suits and shirts are MOSTLY made of layers of material with a slight stretch (usually polyester, elastane and whatever man made fibres work). As mentioned they provide

Band Shirts & Big Benching: My Guide To Starting Unlimited Bench Press
By Luke Litchfield

The information in this article is a mixture of research backed information, opinion and reflection of my own experiences of unlimited bench and how to train for it.

In the past few years unlimited bench press has grown worldwide and within the UK also, you may be thinking you would like to give this a go, this will be my advice to you when you start out training.

So firstly let me say this, yes everyone will bench more in a band shirt or unlimited sling, honestly to this day I have not seen anyone bench less. I'm sure there is likely an exception out there. However it's a lot harder to get the crazy number than you may think, the people benching 400kg+ are usually very strong both in raw bench and regular equipped bench.
Some of the big mistakes I see when people jump into this world are just going heavy off boards, not setting the shirt/ sling correctly or using
