Powerlifting 101: An Introduction to Strength Training

Welcome back to our blog. Today, we’re diving deep into the world of powerlifting – a true test of strength. Here at Muscle Max Gym in Leland, we’re all about keeping things straightforward and effective, and we’re here to guide you through the fundamentals of some serious lifting.

What’s Powerlifting All About?

Powerlifting focuses on perfecting three key lifts: the squat, the bench press, and the deadlift. It’s not just about the weight you can pull; it’s about lifting the right way to build real power.

The Big Three

We concentrate on different muscle groups with each main lift in powerlifting, creating a well-rounded strength training regimen. The squat is your go-to for blasting your lower body and building up your quads, hamstrings, glutes, and hips. Then there’s the bench press, which targets your upper body, like your chest, shoulders, and triceps, helping you develop powerful pushing strength. And let’s not forget the deadlift, which challenges your entire posterior chain, including your lower back, glutes, and hamstrings, ensuring you’re strong from the ground up. Each exercise requires solid technique – keep your core tight and your spine neutral, and make sure to lift with your legs, not your back.
