Weightlifting House

Meso Hassona, the World silver medalist in the 96kg class, once again joined me on the podcast. This time we spoke about his gold medal goals in Tokyo, his plan to go 190/240, his rivalry with Tian Tao, and why he is stuck in Uzbekistan with short hair.

Trainers hate him - Dr Sam Spinelli is a doctor of physical therapy and an S&C coach, and trains and competes as a weightlifter. In this episode, we spoke about the most common 'movement myths', why they occur, whether they are dangerous, and whether they ought to be avoided. These myths included knee valgus, butt wink, shoulder rotation, and looking up in the squat. Follow Sam! https://www.instag...

2x Pan Am Champion Wes Kitts joined us once again along with his teammate and the new guy on the block, Jake Baker, another veteran of the podcast. We spoke about how the postponement of the Olympics has not only derailed Wes' preparation somewhat, but how it has affected his training partner Jake, as well as how they have both been able to capitalise on the 1 year extension of the Games.

Zack Telander and Adam Scheiner are in the fight to create a feature film about the sport we love. Though they currently have a decent-sized budget, in order to maintain creative control over the movie rather than lose it to the 'powers that be' within Hollywood, we need to help them raise more.

The McLaren report into corruption at the IWF was finally released, and so we decided to read it all and summarise the whole thing. The key points are: 1) Tamas Aján’s “autocratic authoritarian leadership of the International Weightlifting Federation resulted in a dysfunctional, ineffective oversight of the organisation by the Executive Board”. 2) Aján used his control of the money to control ever...

Josh and I have referenced this podcast many times over the last month since recording with Zac, and so it's about time we let you all into the conversation.

After reading an excerpt from the Greatest Weightlifters of All Time book about Alexander Pervy who was forced to lift with denser 50kg plates, we got onto the topic of what other equipment changes would lead to performance changes. As always our topics meandered somewhat, touching on our development of thought in the world of weightlifting as well as the validity of all published research. Take t...
