In this episode of the RAW Podcast, we explore the legacy of Hugh Cassidy, powerlifting’s first super heavyweight world champion in 1971. Known for benching 570 lbs. with a two-second pause and squatting 800 lbs. below parallel without any supportive gear, Cassidy's approach to strength training was groundbreaking. As a true pioneer, he crafted his own strategies at a time when no template existed, and his methods still influence powerlifting today. Join us for a deep dive into the life and training philosophies of this unique powerhouse.

In this episode of the RAW Podcast, Marty Gallagher shares how he’s applying the same strength training principles from his youth to a new generation. Marty recently began coaching 15-year-old Andrew on a 12-week periodized program focusing on the core four lifts: bench press, overhead press, squat, and deadlift. These time-tested methods, which Marty himself used back in 1964, continue to deliver results today. The hosts also tackle common concerns parents have about strength training for pre-pubescent kids and teenagers, including how to balance sports performance and nutrition.
