Incredible episode on the Armenian drug culture & Norik's technique. This episode covered 2 main topics - Norik's favourite variations of the lifts and the technical faults that they correct, as well as the drug culture in Armenia and around the world. We actually ended up going quite deep into how tests are passed, how how frequently athletes will dose up, and whether the current system will cont...

Norik Vardanyan joins me on this weeks episode to talk about the life and career of his father, the second greatest weightlifter of all time. This was a very special episode. Not only did I get to speak with one of my favourite weightlifters ever, but I got to find out unknown information about one of the greatest to ever do it!

Of course there were some huge training lifts from the greatest lifters in the world to cover also! patreon.com/weightliftinghouse weightliftinghouse.com Virus eu -20% code - weightliftinghouse

Chris, Glenn and I go in depth on the European model that was introduced in the early 90s to the OTC residents by the Romanian coach Dragomir. Chris holds the Olympic Training Center record for most repetitions done in a week at over 75%. His work capacity was and still is tremendous. Glenn and Chris broke down the idea that training is a science and compared it more to an art than anything else....

Yury Zacharevich is the greatest heavyweight of all time. An incredible mix of strength, power and technique created the holder of 35 world records. Viktor Solodov appeared on the scene as quickly as he disappeared. He was a bright flash in the pan of weightlifting. https://www.patreon.com/weightliftinghouse

Anatoly Khrapaty is the greatest middle heavyweight lifter of all time, and Asen Zlatev is the greatest Bulgarian ever. Both of these lifters competed at their peak during the 80s and set world records that would stun today's world of weightlifters. Weightliftinghouse.com virus EU 20% off - weightliftinghouse

I compared the top performances of the Kazakhstan nationals with each individual lifter's greatest international performance to demonstrate some of the decline seen since the more stringent levels of drug testing. There were still some huge training lifts, including one that may well be the greatest display of squatting that we have seen thus far in 2018. Virus Europe code for 20% off - weightlift...

Anatoly Pisarenko and Nicu Vlad are two of the most iconic weightlifters of all time. Between them they hold the second best snatch and the second best clean and jerk of all time by sinclair. These Weightlifting legends are the giants upon whose shoulders we stand. Also if you ever wanted to know why they were called RDLs, this episode is for you...

We say goodbye to the weight classes this week as the final opportunity to make one's mark on weightlifting history passes. Also we say goodbye to the legend Behdad Salimi, and hello to new world records and new weightclasses. I go through each session from the Asian Games giving you the run down on what happened, as well as some of the big lifts from countries outside of Asia who were still train...

For many lifters technique breaks down due to a lack of strength in certain muscle groups, not because of a lack of understanding of what to do. Knowing what exercises will improve you is an important and individual thing. This is easily one of my favourite episodes ever. The depth and practicality of our conversation I hope will benefit you guys immensely. Josh and I always have fire chats, and t...

Aleksandr Kurlovich, the greatest super heavyweight of all time stars alongside Aleksandar Varbanov, the second best clean and jerker ever. These two lifters are simply stunning... Weightliftinghouse.com virus eu -20% code - weightliftinghouse

By my estimations this week has been the best week of weightlifting since the 2017 World Championships. World record attempts, training world records, 210kg snatches... This week has had it all. weightliftinghouse.com Virus EU 20% off code - weightliftinghouse

Once the emotional response to names like Mark Rippetoe and Louie Simmons have passed then we can have a real conversation about the low bar and the high bar. No single exercise is inherently a bad exercise. All exercises have their place in training. Whether that place is in your programming is another question, but at least weigh up the pros and cons of this divisive movement first. weightliftin...

This week we have Ivan Chakarov, the inventor of the 'No No No Squat', and Blagoy Blagoev, the greatest snatcher of all time! These 90kg Bulgarians ruled the middle weight classes for almost the entirety of the 80s... weightliftinghouse.com Virus EU 20% off code - weightliftinghouse

Half way through this week's episode I just had to take a break to talk about the recent consensus amongst the weightlifting community that the Rostami - Moradi battle is a forgone conclusion by way of Moradi. This is careless thinking. I am not saying that Rostami will win, but the guy is being criminally misremembered in my opinion. Also this week Polovnikov deadlifts 370kg, Kaiser Witte blows m...

I sat down with two academics (a writer and an artist) who write and create professionally alongside lecturing. What started off as a basic description of weightlifting developed into a deeper search for the underlying desire to lift weights, and also the many similarities between their search for perfection in writing and art, and mine in lifting weights. 'He who has a why can bear almost any how...

Leonid Taranenko is known as the strongest weightlifter of all time and for many, the strongest man of all time. Why? For putting the most above head. But the story behind how he clean and jerked more than any man ever, and the money involved, is also very interesting. Alexander Gunyashev also features in this episode as possibly the least known athlete in the top 15 highest Sinclairs ever. weight...

The worlds best lifters delivered again this week from competition, training halls, and garage gyms. From world record snatches to some of the heaviest muscle snatches of all time.
