Michael Adriano earned his Bachelors Degree in Kinesiology and has been in competitive Power Lifting in local Kansas City events. In this episode Mike talks about the basics of Power Lifting and his experiences in training for competitions. In his training he incorporates Strength and Conditioning principles tracking all lifts and programming with a major emphasis on Progressive Overload. Mike also discusses some of his strategies for competition by adjusting Volume and Intensity with his programs. In other notes, we also discuss the mental aspects of training and how much he values a process based approach rather than one focused on outcomes. Training is just training and your “WHY” is the most important thing to remember when riding all the highs and lows that come with competitive lifting.
