#16 - Powerlifting Q&A - Curtis Miller

In this episode of the CCU Podcast, I sit down with Curtis Miller. Curtis is a strength and conditioning coach and the owner of Ironbound Strength, an online coaching/training program. Curtis specializes in individualized competition preparation for competitive lifters, as well as remote and in person strength and conditioning for general population clients.

Curtis's passion for health and fitness began at a young age through his love of sports. During this time, he was introduced to strength & conditioning and he carried that passion through college where he received his Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science and Athletic Coaching. Curtis is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the NSCA with 15 years' experience in the health and fitness industry including personal training, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and athletic strength and conditioning at all levels.

As a competitive powerlifter, Curtis has achieved Elite totals in the 198, 220, and 242lb weight classes with best lifts in competition being an 804LB Squat, 440LB Bench, 782LB Deadlift, and a 2000LB total.

In this episode we discuss:
- What is one hardest obstacle you’ve overcome in powerlifting or life?
- What does lifting with a robotic mindset mean?
- How do you balance lifting with great technique and being aggressive?
- How does form, positioning and technique vary based on the individual?
- How do you train assistance lifts to make sure that you’re getting the most out of them?
- How does it change when you coach a beginner to an intermediate and then to an advanced lifter?
- How do you create flexibility within your programming, understanding that there are no professional powerlifters?
- How do I stop obliterating my thumbs when I pull hook grip?
And more!
