Powerbuilding Powerlifting 14-Week Program

It has been over two years since we’ve had a true weightlifting team. Since then, I have finished my Master’s in Exercise Science, was named the Head of Sport Science at Rise Indoor Sports and become the Head of Education for GymAware Velocity Based Training.

Why did it take by so long to launch the team rebirth? That’s because I didn’t want to launch just another online powerlifting team with some general program for everyone to follow. I wanted something different. I also wanted the best coaches possible to help me with this endeavor.

I'm starting off with the two coaches that work with me daily at Rise Indoor Sports:

•      First, Coach Matt Wininger, B.S. is a graduate of Lenoir-Rhyne University where he was the Team Captain for my LRU Weightlifting Team that earned two National Championships. He earned All-American honors all four years, and is a two-time Team USA Weightlifting Athlete. He was also a sprinter on the Varsity Track and Field Team. Matt was the original Team Mash Elite Athlete having been my athlete since he was 10-yrs-old making it 14-years he's been my athlete. He also competed for the LRU Varsity Powerlifting Team medaling in his first University Nationals. He's also the coach of my own children, which is the biggest honor I can bestow on a fellow coach.

•.    Coach John Lucchesi, B.S. is a graduate of East Tennessee State University's prestigious Exercise Science Department. He was a starter all four years on the Varsity Soccer Team and went on to play pro for a few years after college. John is our Head Strength Coach at Rise Sports Performance. He's also the one that keeps all of us organized. Coach Lucchesi has worked hard to understand all the tech that I brought to Rise Indoor Sports. He's also one of the most humble coaches in America making a real effort to learn under my guidance. He's the glue to this team, and the real reason that the new online team will be better than ever.

Here is the list of what to expect:
•       Coaches will answer questions within a 24-hr period
•.      Coaches can individualize programming in the following ways:
      o  Can easily minimize volume if the program is simply too much
      o  Can eliminate exercises or suggest alternate exercises 
• There's an assessment to monitor improvements
• Team Camps to be held at Rise Indoor Sports and/or the Mash Farm Quarterly.

This is going to be a team with the aim to bridge the edgy hardcore culture Mash Elite is famous for together with the latest in science and research. 

Team Mash Elite Powerlifting is back! I plan on taking over the sport of powerlifting like I did weightlifting.

You can expect:

• Programming that fits your needs filled with the latest in science for getting jacked.
• 24 Hour turn around on messages daily.
• Prescriptions for intensity with velocity and RPE to go along with it. Your choice with coach's guidance on how to determine daily intensity.
• Team camps at Rise Indoor Sports and on the Mash Farm
• To learn about becoming the best powerlifter that you can in terms of science, lifestyle, and mindset.
• Testing that will determine the need for more force, power, hypertrophy, or a combination.
• Muscular Symmetry
• Functional Movement and Mobility

At the end of this program, a new one will be added. You will simply explain to your coach when you anticipate competing next, and your coach will load the next plan.
