Hey guys, the Weight Class Reality Check tool is now live inside the community. Here is what it does. You put in your current bodyweight, your total, and the weight class you are thinking about dropping into. It calculates your body fat percentage and tells you exactly what dropping down would do to your Dots score. No guessing. No "I think I could probably hold my total." Just your actual numbers. A lot of you have mentioned feeling stuck in your current weight class but being scared to drop down in case your total tanks. This tool tells you whether that fear is based on reality or whether you are just talking yourself out of a move that would actually work in your favour. Takes about two minutes to use. Go check it out and let me know what your numbers are showing. Would love to hear what you find. Link here

I'll go first. Doug. 39. Cardiff. Been in powerlifting for 10 years and currently competing in the WRPF 90kg class in a couple of weeks. A few years ago I was sitting at 107kg. Strong, but not competitive where it counted. My Dots told the truth even when I didn't want to hear it. I dropped to sub 100kg and hit an 800kg total. Got blood panel data to prove the health markers moved in the right direction too. That process became the reason I started coaching. Outside the gym I'm usually on a mountain somewhere or planning to be. I work a full time sales job and coach on the side. Two cats. One long suffering partner. No alcohol for six months and I don't miss it. I built this community because I kept meeting lifters in the same position I was in. Strong. Carrying more body fat than they needed. Convinced they had to choose between their total and their physique. You don't. That's what this place is about. Now your turn. Tell us: - Who you are and where you're based - How long you've been competing - What weight class you're in and whether you think it's the right one - What you're actually trying to fix right now
