Weightlifting House

This week Glenn Pendlay and I talk Westside Barbell.

In this week's episode Glenn and I take questions from Instagram: peaking for competition, back room tactics, the 3 most important accessory lifts, training for the supertotal, and more.

Join us this week as Glenn and I discuss the news that the world's strongest man Eddie Hall is turning his talents to Weightlifting. Is his strength going to allow him to dominate the sport or will his mindset be his limiting factor?

On this week's episode Glenn Pendlay and I discuss the best way to work up to a max set of squats. A max set of squats can be ruined by taking incorrect jumps so approaching it well is important. We also discuss the use of sets of 10, and how to strengthen the erectors for weightlifting.

We also briefly delve into the dangerous worlds of internet forums and politics.
