In this episode, John and Wyatt break down the newly announced IPF rule changes—and why the internet promptly lost its damn mind. What starts as a discussion about updated squat, bench, and deadlift rules quickly turns into a larger rant on etiquette, culture, bad coaching, and why powerlifting keeps tripping over dumb problems instead of fixing real ones.
They cover what the rules actually say, why some of them make sense, why others are painfully stupid, and how most of this mess is the result of unchecked growth, poor standards, and the sport eating itself alive over nonsense—like it’s 2012 and we’re still arguing whey vs. casein.
