A powerlifter’s goal is to constantly increase their strength overtime. Whether that be little by little or by a massive amount, constant training and preparation leads to improvements. Perhaps the best way to measure strength gains is by striving for personal bests. In this way, a powerlifter is able to measure their strength over time. That’s the exact formula for powerlifting beasts like John Haack.

Baby pause with 267.5kgs/589lbs. Couple weeks to clean it up. Wasn’t expecting much from bench this prep, but seems to be turning around these last couple weeks.
