Max and I once again meet in a hotel room to dicuss the finer points of weightlifting coaching.

We start the podcast by breaking down the different builds and abilities of athletes we just coached at Nationals. This leads into a conversation of what each athlete needs and how we can address that from a movement and programming standpoint.

It was a lot of fun catching back up with Max after a few months on separate sides of the country. So enjoy our deep dive on identifying and correcting athlete faults.

Enjoy.

Sergii Putsov is the definition of Theory to Practice. From coming up in the Ukranian weightlifting system to earning his PhD studying the sport of weightlifting, you'd be hard pressed to find someone more qualified to discuss the sport.

In this episode of the podcast Sergii and I deep dive on the concept of "Active Rest", exploring what athletes should do in the short time immediately after a major competition. We also discuss Europeans and, what seems to be a very hot topic, how to grow the sport of weightlifting.
