In this episode, Bobby and Steve discuss the role of arousal in training and on competition day. 

They highlight the usefulness of arousal in the right conditions, but also caution lifters of when arousal might result in adverse outcomes. 

Bobby brings up concepts like the transition from "Drive Theory" to the more commonly used "Inverted-U Theory" in sports psychology and how it applies within the context of powerlifting. Steve and Bobby also discuss the similarities between anxiety and arousal and how one might reframe their perception of anxiety to enhance performance instead of hindering it.
