The Powerlifting Blueprint: An unapologetic guide for beginners who want to understand how powerlifting works

Powerlifting isn’t mystical. It’s not spiritual. It’s a straightforward, brutally honest sport built around three lifts: squat, bench press, and deadlift. The Powerlifting Blueprint is for anyone who wants to get stronger without the fluff—no pseudoscience, no motivational drivel, and no exaggerated promises. Just actual results built on discipline, mechanics, and repetition.
This isn’t a book about gym culture or body positivity masquerading as strength training. It’s a complete, unapologetic guide for beginners who want to understand how powerlifting works, how to start doing it correctly, and how to keep doing it for more than six weeks before burning out.
You’ll get a 30-chapter progression covering everything from workout splits and accessory work to recovery, mental toughness, meet preparation, and long-term programming. You’ll learn when to push, when to deload, and why your feelings are irrelevant to the barbell. Each chapter strips away hype and replaces it with hard-earned clarity.
Whether you’re training for your first meet or just tired of spinning your wheels at the gym, this book hands you the tools to make progress that actually sticks. No coaching fluff, no clickbait shortcuts. Just the uncomfortable truth about what it takes to lift heavy things consistently—and how to do it without wrecking yourself.
Perfect for beginners who prefer substance over style and want to lift without becoming a caricature. If you’re serious about strength, this is the book you read before you start asking questions that YouTube can’t answer.
