Summary

The boys are reunited, don’t worry cult, and yes, reunited atop the pyramid. After catching up on what’s been going on for Omar that took him away from us last week, the boys get down to powerlifting talk. This is a big year for powerlifting, with COVID behind us and the Sheffield ahead, and epic battles to come in both the 93 and 76kg divisions at multiple international competitions. Eric discusses how different it can be to coach athletes at the highest level in powerlifting, where scouting, chips, lot numbers, attempt changes, and other subtle aspects of coaching that normally don’t come into play, make a big difference as only kilos separate world champions from runner ups. Then, Omar asks Eric about his own competitive aspirations as he’s just started his 2023 contest prep, where he plans to go all the way to INBF/WNBF worlds in November, while also competing in his first masters powerlifting meet, as he turns 40 this year.

0:26.2	I was there. I was definitely there.
0:29.0	My video feed cut out, but I think if you listen to the audio feed,
0:34.1	I was definitely there.
0:35.9	Oh, maybe that's the issue.
0:37.3	You know, the weird thing was, is I actually wasn't even on Skype.
0:41.6	I was just doing a recording of video and then my audio.
0:45.4	So when you say you were on, on what?
0:48.9	Just on it.
0:50.4	And that's why I might, no wonder of my contributions, which were understandable because, you know, you went right into everything like train specificity, die breaks. Um, I didn't hear them. Um, and that was curious, but understandable because sometimes Brandon or editor makes these choices editing the art of it. Their horror Oscars after all for that category.
1:13.6	Yeah, but I was there. It's just like, you know, 2011.
1:18.6	Eric, man, your 2011 competition. It was called the... Yeah, go ahead.
1:20.2	Yeah, no, no. It's, but, man, you just got to start the first, the first letter.
1:24.9	The first letter? Yeah. That's all you need?
1:27.4	Of the state. Colorado, letter? Yeah. That's all you need? Of the state.
