We’ve all heard the words

“Go big or go home.”

But when it comes to strength training,

Is that all there is?

It’s fulfilling to find yourself stronger than others.

Stronger than you were yesterday.

It’s quite the ego boost when we got all the other fellas to see

That we’re going hard on the weights

And crushing our strength training like a beast..

But do we really need to outwork everybody?

Or is that your ego talking?

You’ll probably feel “amazing” at the beginning.

But to what expense?

My guest Thomas Lilley is here to break the mold

Of how stepping up your powerlifting can only be achieved with  bigger deadlifts,

And maxing out everyday at the gym.

Thomas is a phenomenal powerlifter.

He’ll teach us how we can reduce our chances of injury,

Train smarter not harder,

How to be a record-breaking powerlifter, and more!

As we dig deeper into the higher-level concepts of strength training

If you’re one of the guys who want to go further into your powerlifting journey,

Or battling with nagging issues from intense training injuries,

This episode is for you.

See you there, legends.

 

Cheers.

High Performance Conversations with James Cant

I get a kick out of creating high performance individuals out regular people. It's what I was born to do. I want people who come to me excel in in every part of their lives. Whether that's health, fitness, self, family, business and relationships.

In this podcast, I'll be sharing golden advice I've learned throughout my entire career as a bodybuilding athlete and coach. I'll also be bringing in the best guys who are at the top of their game, and are as passionate as I am to help everyone reach their summit through high performance conversations.
