Reaching International Master level in powerlifting isn't about genetics or luck. It's about building a system and trusting the process when nothing seems to be working.

Progressive Overload in Everything

You can't squat 300kg by hoping. You progressively overload—adding weight, volume, or intensity in calculated increments. This principle applies to career growth, business building, and skill development.

The Mental Game

Standing under a loaded barbell that could injure you teaches mental fortitude. You learn to control fear, maintain focus under pressure, and trust your preparation when it matters most.

Recovery is Part of the System

Beginners think more training equals more progress. Advanced lifters know that recovery is where adaptation happens. Push too hard, and you regress. This lesson transfers directly to sustainable business growth.

Discipline Compounds

Training sessions when you're tired, sore, and unmotivated—those are the ones that build character. The discipline required for elite powerlifting fuels professional drive and resilience.
