Outtotaled by Knowledge - A Guide on how to Train, Test and Adjust



Neither of the authors had great genetics for powerlifting. That is exactly why knowledge became their stepping stone to success.

For close to a decade, Julian Kohler and Delia Gerber have each had their own experiences in and around the sport of powerlifting. While both have their own experiences as athletes and coaches, Delia brings insight from physiotherapy, rehab coaching and sports science into her practice while Julian brings experiences from every level of the sport. From a lifter's very first meet to the Swiss national team on the international platform. Outtotaled by Knowledge distills what that decade side by side taught them: the athletes who improve fastest and last longest are not the strongest on day one. They are the ones who understand why a lift works, and what to change when it does not.

There is not a single program in the book that you can just follow blindly, and it is not a pile of studies with no practical context. It is a working method for building your own squat, bench, and deadlift and your own training method from the ground up. How leverages and body type shape your technique, how to program with volume, intensity, and RPE instead of guesswork, how to choose attempts on meet day, and how to train, eat, and recover like someone planning to stay in the sport for years. The book sheds light on all of it.

This book will not make you immune to failure. But it will teach you how to fail usefully, adjust, and come back stronger, and outtotal people who maybe had an easier start in terms of predisposition and genetics, but who failed to step up their knowledge game to a point where they can actually profit from their advantages.
