🔥 MST MEET DAY CHECKLIST 🔥

Your training is done.
Now don’t let poor preparation ruin your meet day.

Here are a few things every lifter should bring to a powerlifting meet:

✅ Singlet
✅ Deadlift socks
✅ Belt, wraps, sleeves, wrist wraps
✅ Extra clothes & hoodie
✅ Snacks & electrolytes
✅ Water
✅ Attempt plan
✅ Phone charger
✅ ID & federation membership (if applicable)
✅ Your shoes for competition (sometimes multiple pairs)

BONUS:
✔️ Bring patience
✔️ Bring energy
✔️ Bring a good attitude

The lifters who perform best are usually the lifters who come in prepared and relaxed — not scrambling around on meet day.

Plan ahead.
Pack early.
Compete confidently.

🌸 HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY — USPC MIDWEST 🌸

Today we celebrate the moms who do it all.

The moms loading plates between attempts.
The moms coaching from the warm-up room.
The moms traveling every weekend to support their lifters.
The moms stepping onto the platform themselves.
The moms balancing family, work, and training while still showing up strong.

Powerlifting is built on strong communities — and strong moms are a huge part of that foundation.

From everyone at USPC Midwest:
Thank you for everything you do, both on and off the platform.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the incredible mothers in the powerlifting community. ❤️

🔥 TRUST THE PROCESS 🔥

One of the biggest mistakes I see with new lifters?

❌ Jumping from trend to trend
❌ Switching programs every few weeks
❌ Constantly changing exercises, styles, or goals

That is a major progress killer.

Strength is built through:
✔️ Consistency
✔️ Repetition
✔️ Structured progression
✔️ Time under a well-built plan

You cannot properly measure progress if you never stay with a program long enough to see it work.

It’s also too easy today to:
❌ Change your form because of one social media tutorial
❌ Switch your programming because your favorite lifter trains a certain way

What works for them may not work for you.

Your experience level, leverages, recovery ability, injury history, and body structure may be completely different.

Remember — the strongest lifters you follow online didn’t get there by changing everything every 2 weeks.

They followed structured plans for YEARS.

Make a plan — or trust your coach’s plan — and see it through.

The lifters making the biggest jumps aren’t chasing every new trend online.They’re showing up, following the process, and stacking good weeks together.

Stay patient.Stay consistent.Get stronger.

📩 Ready to make real progress and need help with a plan?
MST offers online coaching, in-person personal training, and powerlifting team training.

🔥 MST WEDNESDAY — THE WORK YOU DON’T SEE 🔥

Everybody wants the PR video.
Everybody wants the medal photo.
Everybody wants the record.

But the real progress happens in:
✔️ The early mornings
✔️ The repeated sets
✔️ The disciplined programming
✔️ The workouts nobody claps for

That’s what builds strong lifters.

At MST, we believe consistency beats motivation every time.

Keep showing up.
Keep putting in the work.
The results will follow.
