Training Log: Dan Petkovsek
This is the second post in my training cycle for USPA Nationals on July 8th.
First off – I know I said I would post each week, but to be honest – the past few weeks have been very busy, and unfortunately, this fell by the wayside – so I apologize.

I’ve had some questions about percentages and other things on this program for people who are running it on their own.Read More »Training Log: Dan Petkovsek
Training Log: USPA Nationals July 8th
This post is the first of a few over the next 9 weeks, and may be a bit long – so thank you in advance if you read the whole thing.
Continuing the theme of giving back which we mentioned was our focus this year – I’ll be breaking down my training in as much detail as possible, so if you’re looking for a new program, or just interested in learning more about powerlifting and strength – read on.
I also have 4 other of our team lifters running this program along side with me. If you want in – email me.

Yesterday (monday) I started my training program for USPA Powerlifting Nationals on July 8th, in Las Vegas, Nevada. I’ll be competing as a 198, classic raw (knee wraps), in the Open age category.Read More »Training Log: USPA Nationals July 8th
The History Of TORQUE BARBELL
As we just celebrated our 3rd anniversary here at TORQUE, and we enter our 4th year of business – I want to take the time to show people where we came from, how it started, and how we got to where we are. This is not to say that “we’ve made it” or that we’re satisfied. It’s to simply show our history, and the roots of TORQUE BARBELL.
TORQUE currently has 9 employees, and 8 independent trainers (16 personal trainers total) who rent space from us to run their training business. We have 367 members, and run 17 classes each week. Although this articleRead More »The History Of TORQUE BARBELL
You’re Too Technical – And It’s Making You WEAKER
The only exception to this article is if you’re peaking for a competition.
When you’re training daily in the gym, there’s no doubt that some days will be better than others both physically and mentally. It’s important to have a plan going into each workout – but some days you need to say “F*CK THE PLAN”, and throw some weight on the bar.
I see it far too often. People come into the gym, they slept great, ate well, feel good, and the bar is moving fast – yet they decide to “stick to the plan” and leave either pounds, or reps, or BOTH in the gym.
Don’t get me wrong, I value a good training program, and don’t Read More »You’re Too Technical – And It’s Making You WEAKER
TORQUE SUPPLEMENT GUIDE
This is a continuation of my recent Instagram post – https://www.instagram.com/p/BB-IMxAhp2b/?taken-by=danpetkovsekpl which I initially made, then decided to write a full post about supplements.
Let’s talk supplements for a minute.
This is not me telling you what to take – it’s just my honest opinion about supplements
since some people have been asking about creatine, amigos, “advanced blends”(whatever the hell that means), and other supps.
Over the past 5-10 years I’ve tried more samples and new products than I can probably count. Read More »TORQUE SUPPLEMENT GUIDE
Lose The Wrist Wraps! Increase Your Bench
This post is short – as I feel it can be said in just a few paragraphs.
There seems to be more and more lifters in gyms wrapping up these days – and using wrist wraps in the WRONG way.
Don’t get me wrong, I fully understand the benefit of using them, and believe they are a beneficial tool to push more weight – however, when guy’s (and girls) are using them for EVERY SINGLE Read More »Lose The Wrist Wraps! Increase Your Bench
Start Thinking For Yourself
This is the first of many blog posts I’ll be writing about training, business, entrepreneurship, and any other topic I feel needs to be addressed.
I’ll do my best to keep things short and to the point.
Start Thinking For Yourself
This is in reference to training. Powerlifters specifically.
I get it – some people aren’t knowledgeable about training and need programming and support from online coaches and trainers.Read More »Start Thinking For Yourself
