Apologies! No video episode this week - just audio! Still worth the listen as Dr. Matthew Scott and I dive into why motor imagery is such a powerful tool for strength athletes, and give meaningful ways on how to use it.

Absolutely loved filming this episode with David Woolson. David is an accomplished coach and powerlifter who has both helped athletes get to the world stage alongside competing on it himself. In this episode David dives into how he overcame adversity after bombing out of two meets in a row, alongside a discussion on how fatigue isn't the enemy. If you'd like to reach out to him, his social...

The big 3-0! Thank you to everyone who has listened so far to these, I am super grateful to have you all as an audience. In this episode I sit down with a close friend of mine Blake Barrett, who is one of the hardest working powerlifters I know. From competing at worlds to tearing his groin at nationals, Blake is no stranger to success and adversity, and in this episode we dive into both of those...

This was actually such a fun episode to film. I got to flex my motor learning and motor control muscles here and explain how we can use concepts from laboratory tests on sequence learning and incorporate them into motor imagery / visualization techniques in practice. Hope you all enjoyed it too! My Instagram and Escalate's Instagram Athlete Inquiries escalatestrength.com #continueclimbing

In this episode I get to sit down with a good friend of mine Dac Cardona and discuss a lot of different topics within the sport of powerlifting. We start with a discussion about the differences between untested and tested powerlifting federations and how weigh ins should be managed in each. Afterwards we dive into a great discussion about developing soft skills and what it means to communicate eff...

This was such a fun episode to film with so much information provided by Marcellus. In our conversation we unpack how he was able to manage scaling his athlete roster from 30, to 50, to now 80 active clients - without losing the quality of his coaching along the way. Additionally, he outlines some of the things he has learned in his experience handling at high level meets, and how they can transla...

Was a great time having a long time friend like Sean on the podcast. Here we sit down and I get to ask him some more nuanced questions about tertiary deadlift days, a return to hyperspecificity, and we dive into a more nuanced conversation about how athletes need to sometimes just try harder. If you enjoyed this episode, please rate the podcast and follow on your listening platform of choice. It g...

Really love filming these ramble episodes where I can just dive into small things that pop into my head each week. If this is something you want to see more often please let me know!

This was a great conversation I got to have with one of the founders of a very cool gym, Allegiate, while I was out in Los Angeles. After playing football at USC, Cody and a few of his teammates decided to bring collegiate strength and conditioning to the mainstream - opening Allegiate along the way. Now with three locations and plans to expand even further his teams success is no question. Here h...

Bit of a rant here as I blabber on about why programming multiple singles within a single primary day could be beneficial for a strength athlete. Shoutout to Alex cano on this one, as I got inspiration from him. He’s used this for multiple clients and it seems to work wonders, and with the few I’ve experimented this on it seems to be cruising as well! Instagram: @strengthrob @escalatestrength esca...

This episode was really fun to film, as I get to explore the changes to our central nervous system due to strength training as I do a review on, “Corticospinal Responses following strength training: a systematic review and meta analysis”. Throughout this we find out that resistance training primarily decreases inhibition - releasing the “brakes” on our neuromuscular system! If you like this type o...

This conversation was such a treat for me as I have been a fan of Kedric's stuff for a while! Here we get into some more nuanced conversations about big rocks that powerlifters can move regarding their nutrition. Links to everything mentioned can be found below!

Solo episode to celebrate 20 big ones for the pod! Really enjoyed being able to just be open in this one and talk about some of the things that have helped me flip my world around a bit after one of the hardest years of my life. All I can hope is that it helped one of you guys as well. 110 Percent Code: ROB for 10% off at checkout Interested in coaching? Shoot me a DM on Instagram to learn more or...

Great episode here, and honestly I think this is one of the best conversations I've had on this podcast. Deklan brings a different perspective to hypertrophy training that I think all powerlifters need, and it definitely shifted my mentality about programming both main movements and accessories in the sport. If you enjoyed this episode, please review, comment, and share the episode. Its the easies...
