For this weeks episode I got the opportunity to chat with the current British Junior -105kg Powerlifting Champion and Squat Gold medalist at this years IPF World Championships, Josh Greenfield. As he is best known for his squat, we spoke about coaching queues and tips, as well as programming considerations when it comes to the squat. This guy really knows his stuff and you can see his passion for the sport of powerlifting.

For this episode I had the pleasure of catching up with a good friend and mentor in Chris Kershaw. We chatted about how getting involved in strength training can massively improve your mental health, and how sleep plays a lot bigger role in training and performance than a lot of people think. Was great to hear Chris's depth of knowledge in an area, I think, is often overlooked.

In this weeks episode I look to put an argument to bed once and for a while. Which is harder, squats or deadlifts? I’ll look at what the research says, give my own opinion on it and how all it may affect your training going forward.

It was great to chat with Bryce Lewis, coach at The Strength Athlete and 2x USAPL Raw 105kg Champion. In this episode, we spoke about the importance of mindset when it comes to powerlifting. Mindset can play a major role when it comes to how well you train and compete. Was really interesting listening to Bryce speak on this topic.

This week I had the oppurtunity to chat with Mike Tuchscherer, founder of Reactive Training Systems. It was great to hear his thoughts on powerlifting programming and making sure as a coach, you try and not get things wrong. It was safe to say I could have spoken a lot longer to Mike about this topic. Was a great insight into his depth of knowledge.

If we’re honest, most people train when they can and fit it in around their lifestyle. However, there’s always that common question of if you could, when’s the best time of day to train, and what’s the best way to do order your workout when doing strength training and cardio/conditioning. Hopefully this episode will answer this for you.

This week I chat about same muscle vs. alternating muscle supersets. Supersets are a great tool for getting more done in your workouts. However, the research out there on them is actually quite sparse. I’ll chat through what’s the best for strength and muscle building.

This week I got to chat with Hannah Topp. Hannah went from being a virtual novice when it came to strength training, to most recently competing at the Commonwealth Championships in powerlifting. We chat about why women should get involved in strength training, as well as the benefits and rewards that comes with it in other aspects of life.

This week I chat about high intensity and high volume training, and which takes longer for you to recover from. I’ll also chat through my recommendations to plan your training week, and how to manage your fatigue levels.

I got to catch up with James and Sean of Supreme Training and the 150 Podcast this week. We chatted through catching the Powerlifting bug, training and throwing some tips out for there for people thinking of starting Powerlifting.
