    Journey from Powerlifting to Combat Sports
    Oct 16 2025

    In this episode, Gus Cooke and Sarah Rainbow open up about life after elite powerlifting — the crossroads between chasing numbers and protecting health, happiness, and longevity. Gus reflects on his first BJJ competition and how the principles of strength, mindset, and conditioning carry over from the platform to the mat. Together, they explore what it means to mature as athletes, grieve the end of an era, and rediscover purpose through new forms of competition. A raw and grounded conversation about evolution, identity, and finding joy again in the process.

This episode covers the fundamentals of stress vs. rest, the myth of productivity, and the dangerous extremes currently trending in the lifting world.
