This may be one of my favorite podcasts I've recorded about programming.

In this episode, we discuss individual differences, how accurately lifters can gauge RPE, and the role of proximity to failure in strength and hypertrophy outcomes.

Most of the ideas in strength and conditioning can quickly overcomplicate training. Is sport specificity necessary? What matters most (and when), movements or load? How important is maximal strength?

In this podcast episode, Dr. Paul Comfort gives us his insight from the 17 years he's spent in the trenches researching, coaching, and thinking about the best practices for strength and conditioning.

Weightlifting coaching isn't a one-size-fits-all profession. There are many different approaches, as evidenced by the variety we see in the sport of weightlifting.

In this episode of the podcast, Max, Zach, and I single in on the good, bad, and ugly of coaching with a focus on American Open Finals.

If you do the same style of training, but get coached by two very different people then what's the result?

In this episode of the podcast, we dig into the concept of psychological fatigue and explore what it means from both a coach's and an athlete's perspective. Is it just a reduction in motivation to train? How can it be augmented to optimize performance? Does training and coaching style have a meaningful influence?

Listen and find out.

On this week’s episode of the podcast, I was joined by former weightlifter, current coach, founder of East Coast Gold, and lifelong student, Leo Totten.

This was an incredible show and I have nothing but respect for Leo, including his commitment to being a world-class coach. Through his efforts, he's continued to elevate the sport, something made obvious by the development and proliferation of ECG and its dedication to greatness.

Tune in, learn something, and spread the knowledge.

This podcast will go down in the history books... I don't think I've recorded such a unique and comprehensive podcast about programming, particularly understanding proximity to failure, individual response to training, and communicating that information to a wider audience.

Enjoy part two of the best damn programming podcast to date.

Aaron has been on the podcast multiple times, discussing his research on barbell kinetics and kinematics in elite weightlifters to technology in sport. There aren't many people as experienced and qualified as Aaron, which makes his perspective incredibly insightful.

Listen in as we discuss his journey through the weightlifting ranks to eventually becoming the director of applied sport science for the Cincinnati Reds. He shares what he has learned along the way, as well as what up-and-coming coaches and sport scientists can do to become successful.
