   The more you know, the harder it gets

   In this episode, I discuss the idea of acquiring knowledge and experience in powerlifting and how that can actually make it harder. Harder to sift through the noise and make good decisions. I talk about the Dunning Kruger Effect, the Expert Paradox and the laws of Diminishing Returns and how that gets in the way of good coaching and training.

   email jcauchi@thestrengthfortress.com for online powerlifting coaching @5tong on instagram In this episode, I talk about the potential upside to going all in. I propose a contrary take on the popular belief that lifters ought to diversify their worth, instead suggesting that going all in is as valid an approach as any and that it perhaps has its own upsides.
