Powerlifting Coach, done properly — from anywhere in Gihombo
Powerlifting reduces training to a beautifully blunt question: how much can you squat, bench, and deadlift? Maddy's powerlifting coaching programmes those three lifts as a sport — technique coached to competition standards (depth, the pause, the lockout), loading run on percentages with effort regulated by repetitions in reserve, and blocks that accumulate volume, intensify, and peak on a date. Most of the training is deliberately submaximal; heavy singles are scheduled milestones, not weekly entertainment. Accessory work is chosen against your specific sticking points — where the bar slows, the log shows, and the plan responds. Whether you intend to enter a meet or simply want numbers you can defend, the structure is identical, and check-ins review your logged sets, bar-speed notes, and effort ratings before the next week's percentages are written.

The method — how Maddy coaches this
- Squat, bench, and deadlift coached to competition standards: depth, the pause, the lockout.
- Percentage-based loading with effort regulated by repetitions in reserve — heavy, not reckless.
- Block structure that accumulates, intensifies, and peaks on a chosen date.
- Accessories picked against your sticking points, which your logged sets reveal.
- Max attempts are scheduled milestones, earned by the block — not weekly entertainment.
Who this is for:
- Lifters who want their squat, bench, and deadlift treated as the sport it is.
- Anyone eyeing a first local meet and wanting to arrive prepared, not surprised.

Common questions
Do I have to compete to train like this?
No. Plenty of clients run powerlifting-style training purely for the numbers and the clarity it brings. The standards are still coached — a squat to depth is a squat to depth — and if a meet ever tempts you, you will already train like someone who belongs there.
How is this different from general strength training?
Specificity. General strength training spreads effort across many patterns; powerlifting concentrates it on three competition lifts, with technique standards, peaking, and attempt selection as part of the craft. It is a narrower target hit much harder.
Is handling maximal weights dangerous?
The risk lives in unearned maxes, not in the sport. Training runs mostly submaximal with effort capped by repetitions in reserve, technique is coached before intensity climbs, and max attempts arrive on schedule with a block of preparation behind them.
