Background
It's a long story... I've always been an athlete, for as long as I can remember - at 14 I was national fencing champion, for example. Powerlifing, my current sport, is pretty recent in my life: my first championship was in August 2006, three weeks after I started training. However, I had always been involved in sports, in general, and in weight training for at least two years.
I love powerlifting because the training itself balances my mind and body, it is something of a transcendental experience. Competing is like being elavated to another consciousness level. The intensity of the experience is uncomparable to anything I've ever felt (except competing, in another sport).

To my readers, please forgive me the unreadable texts I am posting. I have tried absolutely everything within my reach, from writing into txt editors, no formatting, to pasting to different text editors and avoid formatting problems, but there's a persistent bug here that scrambles my text. Yes, I am writing from a non-English speaking country, at a locally manufactured computer and keyboard. But that should not be an excuse: digital information is universal. I don't know what to do.

More on my own hybrid training and how it is periodized. If you look at my table with five categories of training components (powerlifting, weightlifting, kettlebell, bodyweight training and “other”) it will look like a sort of game with random dice throws. It’s not. This is a table I designed for myself in which I organized the exercise repertoires that may be relevant in different moments of my periodization. Some will be relevant all the time. I need power all the time. Weightlifting is a... Go to BodyBlog
marilia05 created a new BodyBlog entry "Stress and performance in powerlifting".
Stress. That’s the bottom line after endless tests and clinical evaluations. In the end, vulnerability to injury, problems with recovery from injury and staling in pre-competitive preparation. But where does stress come from? Unfortunately, the literature on sports psychology is mostly restricted to collegiate Olympic athletes and focuses on injury specific events. Many (if not most) athletes, however, are involved in non-olympic sports, such as powerlifting – my sport. And psychological stress... Go to BodyBlog

The video I always watch: the birth of a new Powerlifting in the continent
Posted in Training : May 12, 2012 9:19pmThis video touches me deeply. After I got back from Atlanta, in the emptiness in which I found myself here, I watched it every single day. I even downloaded “Written in the Stars” to my ipod. I listen to this song when I need an extra drive to my training. Not because of the song, much less the lyrics (they are just silly…). But because it reminds me of the video and the incomparable dream of building this movement. I invest all my energies in the ASUPO project. A new powerlifting, with everything good this sport brings with it: art, blood and guts, generosity, solidarity, laughter and a se
