Power Lifting

Two-Day Training Course Outline

Day 1

8:00am - 8:30am: Introduction

  • Welcome and course overview
  • Icebreaker activity

Here are 4 examples of icebreaker activities that could be done at a gym venue:

  1. Group stretch: Have participants pair up and take turns leading their partner in a stretch. They can choose any stretch they like, and then switch roles after a set amount of time.
  2. Partner introductions: Have participants pair up with someone they don't know and introduce themselves. Then, have each pair introduce each other to the larger group.
  3. Fitness bingo: Create bingo cards with fitness-related tasks in each square (e.g. do 10 push-ups, hold a plank for 30 seconds, etc.). Participants must complete the tasks and mark off the squares until they get a bingo.
  4. Name game: Have each person say their name and a fitness-related word that starts with the same letter as their name (e.g. "I'm Alex and I like aerobics"). Then, have the next person repeat the previous names and words before adding their own.

  • Overview of basic principles
  • Examples of best practices
  • Common mistakes to avoid

Here are 5 common mistakes to avoid when powerlifting:

  1. Improper form: Lifting with incorrect form can lead to injury and reduce the effectiveness of the exercise.
  2. Overtraining: Working out too often or too intensely can lead to burnout, injuries, and slower progress.

Here are three reasons why overtraining can be harmful:

  1. It can lead to burnout and fatigue, which can negatively impact motivation and progress. (Source: PubMed)
  2. It increases the risk of injury, particularly with high-impact exercises like powerlifting. (Source: American Council on Exercise)
  3. It can lead to slower progress and gains, as the body doesn't have enough time to recover and build muscle. (Source: Muscle & Fitness)
  4. Not resting enough: Rest is crucial for muscle recovery and growth. Failing to rest enough can lead to fatigue, injury and slower progress.
  5. Ignoring nutrition: Proper nutrition is key to building muscle and improving performance. Failing to eat enough or not consuming the right types of food can hinder progress.
  6. Focusing on weight alone: While lifting heavy is important for building strength, it's also important to focus on other aspects of fitness such as flexibility, endurance, and mobility.
