I think you 100% have the potential to surpass 838.5, but I think your recovery has been dampened by how much you do outside of lifting. Just from watching your insta the past 2 years, its crazy to think that you can fit lifting in with everything going on in your life. You've got a full time job, went back to school, raising a child, lift 2-3 hours a session, and maintaining your social media... I feel like 99% of people would just break down from exhaustion with that schedule. Now I may be assuming a lot but I think a reduction in overall life stressors and an improvement in recovery would do wonders for your lifting and hopefully really reduce the minor injuries/setbacks. Looking forward to what's to come tho!
i agree, not saying he's wrong about having a normal job and spending energy with other projects, but obviously it hinders performance compared to being a full time athlete, it has pros and cons.
100%...everything you mentioned is certainly a factor in life/recovery/stressors...it's been a journey the last 2 years with a newborn and navigating fatherhood with other aspects of my life. i think i've found a good balance/sacrifice now, so we'll see where this journey takes us. appreciate you tuning in and giving your thoughts!
As a -74 kg powerlifter, working in corporate finance for a Big4 and trying to balance family, work and lifting, you're an inspiration. I wish you all the best from France!
Just found your channel but wanted say thanks for sharing about your life! Honestly super encouraging and inspiring as I'm in the same boat of balancing full-time job, marriage/family and powerlifting aspirations (albeit more beginner goals lol). Super impressive seeing how one of the best has been doing it while balancing all these other parts of life as well, wish you the best in pushing to surpass 838.5!!
🙌🙌🙌 welcome !! Appreciate you joining and engaging with the content. What video did you find that made you interested? I’ll continue putting out more content to show how I sacrifice to make everything work!
@TaylorAtwoodpl Heard about you and your accomplishments through Jeff Nippard's strength standards video and decided to check out your channel! Was curious to see what your approach is with training since you compete at such a high level, but also just learn a little about the sport from one of the best. 😁 If you haven't shared already, I'd love to hear more about your general approach to programming and the like as you've gotten better cause I've always found it difficult to find what a proper balance is between pushing myself and not injuring myself haha
whenever we talk about powerlifters in my gym and your name pops up everyone doubts you, except me, i always stand up for you, i know this doesnt mean anything to you probably but i just wanted to let you know
You seem very likeable. but if I join your program. J am a novice. Does it have overload schemes, is it possible without access to a gym (excuse me mostly train inside my house with a power rack), and would you help mr achieve good technique personally or for example do you have video's? I am just curious what the complete offer is. I have the rogue ohio bar, a good power rack, a bench. A lot of weights. So I am ok when it comes to that :)
I remember Taylor disagreeing with Giannis Antetokounmpo's answer to reporter, when reporter said that "Do you consider last season as a failure?". Giannis said that he didn't have failure season and that it's experience he went to playoff etc. Taylor posted stories on Instagram about it kinda mockingly. Because I'm fan and sportsman myself, I thought that he understands more than anyone other champions. Then Taylor said that he destroy everyone on Sheffield. Everybody knows, what happend after that. I have question to Taylor. Do you consider last season as a failure? Because you didn't comment about it, didn't answer on Instagram too. You just said it's a journey.
Lol man...definition of failure: lack of success...did i win Sheffield? no. did i win World's? no. clearly a lack of success, so in short, yes. I consider this year a failure and I'm okay with that. I take full responsibility and ownership of not being prepared. There were things out of my control in some circumstances, but nontheless, I failed to succeed. THAT IS SPORT! FAILURE IS A PART OF SPORT! I've succeeded and have become who I am today because I've failed in the past. And I plan on getting better after the failures I've had this year. You say you're a sportsman, but a true sportsman understands there is a clear winner and loser. Winning = succeeding Losing = not succeeding. It's black and white. Fail. Learn. Get better. Win.
Thanks for answer. Finally you answered to me. I just wanted some justice, because when you speak about other people's failure and your wining, you should also say about your failures too, even if it's hard. The reason why I wanted hear this from you, because I was enjoying watching your journey up but it was tough to see you becoming "cocky" even if it's for hype and views. I know that you have already proven yourself arguably the best powerlifter ever and you don't need to live up to fans expectations. But I wanted to share this opinion. I'm still your fan, I wish you good luck, reclaim your crown King.
