3 steps to More power almost instantly

(1) Eat for performance, not weight loss.

Powerlifting is a performance sport. Ultimately, your weight matters little if your performance isn't up to snuff. Many lifters get ahead of themselves by trying to reduce body weight/fat before reaching competitive numbers. This is a mistake that will hinder your both long and short-term gains. Eat to fuel your body, and your performance will skyrocket!

(2) Don't get hung up on a bad training day.

We've all been there. We have a heavy training day planned, and after putting it off for a few days we finally decide to go for it. We miss our top sets (that we have hit before), and we LOSE IT. I have literally cried... many times... over a bad training day. But the reality is that for every 1 bad training day, I probably have 10 good ones. Those are damn good odds! Understand that your training session is one of many. There will be good ones, and there will be bad ones. Don't get wrapped up around it. You're not a failure. Move forward & keep putting in the work.

(3) Individualize, don't optimize.

Many lifters try to find the *perfect* program, work-out for the *perfect* number of days, and have the *perfect* workout equipment (which belt, which shoes, etc.). The missing piece here is that what is perfect for one person may not be perfect for you. You have to find the thing that is perfect for YOU.
