LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING THAT NOT EVERYONE WILL AGREE WITH…
The Strongest Powerlifters Don’t Always Win!
Even though powerlifting is a game of lifting as much weight as possible…
I’ve seen countless times while coaching at the World Championships that the strongest powerlifters on paper aren’t the ones who stand on top of the podium at the end of the day.
This is because there are so many factors that go into a successful game day performance.
And missing lifts can happen for any number of reasons…
- Did you cut too much weight?
- Did you overtrain during your peaking cycle?
- Did you accurately time your warm-ups?
- Did you select the right attempts that reflect your training progress?
This is why you need a Comprehensive Game-Day Strategy.
Physical Strength Is Only One Part Of Your Game-Day Strategy.
Many powerlifters think they just need to get stronger to be successful on the platform.
This couldn’t be further from the truth.
Training will get you physically strong, but strength alone doesn’t let you realize your potential.
For example…
- Do you get nervous?
- Do you know how to leverage every possible rule in the rulebook to your advantage?
- Do you know how to modify your warm-ups if you don’t have as much time as you thought?
- Do you know when you should or shouldn’t go up in weight after missing an attempt?
Do you know how to adjust your attempt selection in the heat of the moment?
Do you know how to take into account the tactics used by other coaches and athletes who want to beat you?
Having A Complete Game-Day Strategy Involves Not Just Knowing Your Physical Strength…
But mastering the mental and tactical sides of the sport as well.
This Is What The Best Powerlifters In The World Have Figured Out.
And, It’s How You Win Powerlifting Competitions.
Having coached over 100 National-level powerlifters and serving as Team Canada’s Head Powerlifting Coach, I’m painfully aware of the demand for proper game-day strategies.
Lifters put in all of the hard work training for a competition, and then fail to understand the variables within the competition that let them compete at the highest levels.
Athletes and coaches alike have an insatiable thirst for knowledge and can spend hours talking about how to optimize every little part of their technique or programming.
But…
They don’t bring that same level of attention to detail around game-day strategy.
Unfortunately, the only way that you can currently learn about game-day strategy is by going head-to-head with another athlete, and then having to figure it out as you’re competing.
This is like being sent to war and then having to figure out how to use a gun when you’re already in battle.
With this online course, you’ll learn everything you need to know to be successful on game day.
I’ll walk you through step-by-step how I’ve managed every aspect of the game day environment to create World Champions.
An Effective Powerlifting Game Day Strategy For Maximizing Game Day Success Relies On:
An attempt selection strategy that goes beyond just what you ‘want to lift’.
Sure, you may want to lift a specific number, but identifying whether you should go for it or not should be based on certain meet variables.
Putting together a plan that is based on clearly defined goals.
Your attempt selection strategy will be VERY different depending on whether you want to make the podium versus simply setting some personal best numbers.
Understanding each element of the competition.
In order to put up successful numbers on the platform, you need to have a successful weigh-in and warm-up process.
Having a holistic process.
Quick hacks and general frameworks don’t work, not if you want to beat your competition.
Having a contingency plan when things don’t go your way.
If you plan your game day strategy around the ‘perfect scenario’, you are setting yourself up for failure. You need to have plans in place for when things go wrong.
Mastering your mental energy.
Powerlifting competitions are mentally taxing. You need to learn how to manage your mental energy so you’re in the right frame of mind to perform at your best when it matters the most.
Knowing how to read a live scoresheet.
If you’re battling other athletes within a few kilos, you need to select attempts based on the dynamics of the scoresheet, not how much weight you think you can lift.

Apply The Theory Faster With Live Scoresheet
I’ve spent the last year recording live game day scoresheets.
The scoresheet is a critical part of learning game-day strategy, and it’s something you don’t get while watching the competition replay.
When you watch a live score-sheet, you get to see the attempts as they’re happening, and how it impacts who lifts first, who moves in or out of position, and how to ‘run the math’ to beat your competitors.
This Is Why I’ve Included Case Studies From:
- 2019 IPF World Powerlifting Championships – 47KG Open Category: Teaching you how you can go from 5th to 3rd with the right deadlift attempt selection strategy.
- 2019 IPF World Powerlifting Championships – 72KG Junior Category: Teaching you what NOT to do when going for a record, and how to come out on top when you’re battling 4 other lifters for the podium.
- 2019 IPF World Powerlifting Championships – 63KG Junior Category: Teaching you why you can NEVER count anybody out, even when you think they have no chance.
- 2019 CPU Nationals – 84KG M3 Category: Teaching you why increasing your opener has amazing benefits.
- 2020 CPU Nationals – 105KG Equpped Category: Teaching you how to do ‘quick math’ to outsmart your competition and what to do when you miss an attempt to still stay in the game.

What Other Powerlifters Are Saying
“Avi Silverberg is someone who takes all of these factors into consideration, along with a multitude of others, when working with his athletes. Avi handled my numbers at the 2014 IPF world championships, where I was fortunate enough to win a world title.
I can vividly remember the precision in Avi’s attempt selection and how impressed I was with it. He would also make sure that all of my warm-ups were timed and loaded correctly, so all I had to do was go have fun and hit the lifts. The simple things really can go along way during competition. This powerlifting course is loaded with well-researched, high-quality content. Avi is in the constant pursuit of furthering his knowledge and will pass years of practical and academic experience along to the audience, for a fraction of the cost.”
Josh Hancott
2014 Junior World Champion
“When Avi coached me at worlds I put all my faith in him. I am so happy I did. Not only did Avi say the things I outlined in my “meet day sheet”, he changed my attempt for my last deadlift at the very last second, not allowing my competitor to change, and putting me in the drivers seat and on the podium.
I am certain most coaches would not have played the play to perfection this way. Making an attempt change too soon, too late, not knowing lot numbers, rules etc are all game changers and ways to lose the game. If you get the chance to learn from the best, Avi, take it. I can undoubtedly say Avi is one of the most knowledgeable game day coaches out there. I can also say with confidence he is one of the reasons I stood on the podium to represent Canada at my first worlds.”
