What I loved about #PowerConditioning was over the course of 10 weeks I was able to build my strength back up and then on weeks 11 and 12 go for some numbers I hadn’t hit in quite some time. I really focused on the strength aspect but love that it includes complexes and 10 minute conditioning, if I feel like getting in a quick and dirty workout!! Thanks for your great work on this program!! – KRISTI
I never imagined that I would be squatting, deadlifting, and benching on a regular basis. I actually didn’t even know what powerlifting was when I first got started or how beneficial lifting weights is for women.
A quick Google search will reveal that powerlifting can build strong bones and muscles as well as increase both your core strength AND the strength of your lower back muscles. However, most women don’t powerlift usually because of one of these reasons:
I had this misconception that lifting weights would make me big and bulky, but over time I realized that simply isn’t true. In fact, when I started learning these lifts and training consistently, I actually lost weight, got leaner, AND got stronger.
Powerlifting allowed me to change my physique, get leaner, and add some nice curves.
If you have never powerlifted before, you may find it intimidating, but it’s actually really freaking fun and empowering! I have never felt as strong and confident in my life until I started lifting heavy weights.
My journey to getting stronger was intentional, and I got stronger with time, consistency, patience, and practice.
I hear from women all the time that they want to learn but just don’t know where to start. Once you understand the basics you can get started with the workouts.
(Spoiler alert: The PowerConditioning program includes video tutorials on the exact form for each of the big three lifts (bench, squat, and deadlift) and plenty of support on how to get started with the workouts.)
I’m a writer, speaker, fitness and strength coach, and a powerlifter with a passion for intersectional feminism and creating a diverse and inclusive fitness industry.
I spent the majority of my twenties focused on shrinking — my body, my voice, and my entire life in general. I obsessed about my weight and truly believed that my happiness lied on the other side of fat loss.
Strength training, powerlifting specifically, was one of the things that changed changed this narrative for me.
I’m on a mission to share my passion for powerlifting with as many women as possible and that’s exactly why I created this program.
Just finished PC and loved it! Best thing about PC was that the accessory work was new every week. So it never got old or boring. I PR’d my DL, bench, and squat. Numbers are not huge, but huge breakthroughs for me! I had always been “afraid” to DL more than 165 or squat more than 135. I think the rep scheme (going down to 3 reps then 2 reps) helped me break through those mental barriers. I got up to 190 DL, 155 BS, and 100 bench press. And I’m thinking of restarting PC after some rest to see if I can get those numbers even higher! Thanks for the awesome programming!” – Lynn
#PowerConditioning is a 12 week powerlifting and conditioning program to get you strong AF and conditioned AF. This program is for women who want to learn or improve their powerlifting game but also want to maintain their cardio conditioning, which is why the weekly 15-minute weekly conditioning circuits and cardio finishers tacked on to the end of the workouts are key.
Hey Chrissy! I just wanted to share this with you- I got my body scanned (inBody) as my gym the day I started #PowerConditioning. It’s not as accurate as a DexaScan, but it’s pretty ok and it’s free 🙂 Anyway, today I’m starting week 5 (loving it BTW) and got scanned again. I’m up 1.8 pounds of muscle and down 1.3%body fat. I’d like to say I dialed in my diet too these past 4 weeks, but…it’s summer. #Roseallday. So I give you full credit! Here’s to 8 more weeks- thanks!! – Jess

#PowerConditioning is the perfect mix of powerlifting (to get you StrongAF) and conditioning so you can run a mile (or two) if necessary.
I mean I’m not signing up for any running in the near future, but in the event that I’m in a situation (like the zombie apocalypse), I like to think I’d be equipped to handle the situation.
I LOVED power conditioning!! I would definitely do another program like it again!! I liked the format with super sets and tri-sets, as well as the format for the lifts and how they progressed. I started out using an ez bar and moved on to the squat rack and bench press which is when I started seeing results; I also noticed I got stronger when I started doing the barbell complexes that included a push-press. I started our squatting 40lbs with the ez bar and ended with 95lbs; bench press started out at 30lbs with the ez bar and ended with 65lbs with the barbell; and my dead lift started out at 70lbs with the ez bar and ended at 110lbs with the barbell. – Angelea

All of the workouts require a barbell, dumbells, and a bench. A majority of the accessory work also requires some gym equipment. I recommend access to a full gym for the program. However, if you train at home and have access to a barbell, dumbbells, and a bench, you can get creative and modify some of the other movements. You will also need access to a some type of cardio equipment for selected cardio finishers (treadmill, rower, or airdyne bike, etc).
The program is delivered in PDF format with links to accompanying video tutorials for all lifting movements.
This program is designed for beginner to intermediate lifters. Even if you have never powerlifted before, this program is suitable for you. You are free to adjust the weights as needed to meet your level of strength. Additionally, there are video tutorials of all movements along with tips to a successful bench, squat, and deadlift.
Although the program is 5 days a week, two of the days include a barbell circuit and a conditioning circuit. You can opt out of either of those if you feel you need additional time for recovery.
This is a DIY program. There is no coaching that goes along with the program. However, I have included everything that I think is necessary for you to be successful on this program.
Once you purchase the program, you will be taken to a thank you page where you will need to ‘opt in’ by adding your name and email address.
