I've been really encouraged by your transparency about the peaking experience leading to NAPF. I plan to compete for the first time in late 2024 and decided to run a peak this year to experience the process ahead of time before it really mattered in case I needed to iron out some things. I’m half-way through the peak and I am already fighting off both some physical and mental fatigue after having to condense last week’s schedule due to some sudden small business and family needs. I’ve thankfully been able to overcome the multiple (valid) excuses that would keep me out of the gym and I can feel myself getting significantly stronger, but I struggled with some shame about even having to fight that fight in the first place and several thoughts about cutting my losses and scrapping the competition goal altogether. Thanks for keeping it real.
Always appreciate your willingness to be real and honest with the psychology side of a peak and just powerlifting in general! I have had very similar mental responses to my previous peaks and it helps a ton to see that people way stronger than me deal with similar things 👍
Great “chicken” story with you and Gene Bell! I had the opposite experience when the head ref quickly gives me the down command but I don’t think that I’m finished my lockout. I think, “That’s not fair, you’ve got to give me a chance to lock this out.” I lean back and hold the bar at lockout to sell it as the ref looks at me like, “You know you can put that down any time, right?” If I had wishes from a genie in a lamp, one of my wishes would be for Bryce to have pain-free training!
i watched it live and was really proud. you put some impressive weight up and got podium finishes which made me super happy. i know you had been down recently but i hope that finish brought your spirits up
Phenomenal performance. Hope that knee gets better though. Also, technique wise, what was off about your 3rd deadlift attempt? Would love to see a more advanced and updated deadlift tutorial
Get healthy again and you'll raise those numbers. Don't rush it. Rehap and prehab, before the next training cycle. It was an excellent performance. But we know you can lift more. Congratulations!

God I love this channel, saw the new video pop up and it’s like clear the calendar, or at least 20 minutes, I’m getting caught up

Two weeks waiting for this !!!! Thank you !!!
Love the raw vents dobt stop or filter it out, the same thing happens to me during peaks
Travis Ortmayer spotting, so cool !! Nice video Bryce!!
Waited quite some time for this. All the best for world's big man!
We all know you're just gonna rub some dirt on that knee and be back to top form.
i watched it live and was really proud. you put some impressive weight up and got podium finishes which made me super happy. i know you had been down recently but i hope that finish brought your spirits up
I was literally yelling at my tv, this channel has made powerlifting a
Sport I want to watch like it’s basketball or maybe hockey for u Canadians?
We've bee waiting for this! Glad to see you in good spirits and happy to know that you are going to ipf worlds!
I want the rawness of it, that's what makes you guys miles apart from every other fitness content.
sinking the second squat then having the third move faster is shockingly relatable
Counterparts shirt, immediate like!
Stoked to see you get another chance at worlds next year.
Truly amazing. The meet, the guest spot, and trying to sell the refs 😇
Being real is awesome! Thanks guys
Phenomenal performance. Hope that knee gets better though.
Also, technique wise, what was off about your 3rd deadlift attempt? Would love to see a more advanced and updated deadlift tutorial
U guys are hilarious love u lads!
Great stuff gange, nice talk at a table. Bryce are you thinking of ever going back to single ply?
ATG Split Squat, backwards walking andor Reverse Sled drag. Might be worth looking into kneesovertoesguy's work for the knee stuff
I enjoy Powerlifiting, and I have a few guys (and girls) that I'm really fond of. But lowkey, Bryce is becoming my favourite male Powerlifter.
Excellent video
I remembered long hair Bryce and phoenix era was a monster 👀
Bryce, how tall are you? Your DL setup looks very similar to mine.
on the “get shredded” last bit… is bruce considering hanging it up? or just off season post-worlds?
Regarding the knee injury, Bryce should talk to the folks at Barbell Medicine if he hasn't already. Man that'd be some incredible crossover content.
Truly amazing vid boys
Counterparts!
quality content as always!
Just wasn’t strong that day>Saying I need more good training
Congrats ya big rig 👍
what en exciting title!!
Get healthy again and you'll raise those numbers. Don't rush it. Rehap and prehab, before the next training cycle.
It was an excellent performance. But we know you can lift more. Congratulations!
Feels Good To See Bryce ❤

Congrats on qualifying for Worlds, man.
With a 320 raw, you can dream of a 420 geared! 😮
