Weightlifting House

Yesterday I got to sit down with Olympic Champion Kianoush Rostami and talk about his battle with the Iranian Weightlifting Federation, his struggle for Olympic qualification, and his best ever numbers.
Kianoush is the most high profile athlete I have ever had on the podcast and so I was thrilled to be able to speak with him about such interesting topics.

As I sit in my Air BnB in Switzerland in preparation for the 49th 'Challenge 210' I see that Kianoush Rostami has flown to Switzerland, presumably with the goal of forcing his way into the competition in an attempt to salvage his bid for a Tokyo 2020 slot. Joining him here is his teammate Sohrab Moradi and a FULL Chinese team.

Harvey Newton coached the 1984 USA Olympic team, spent time speaking with the greatest weightlifters ever from Bulgaria and the USSR, and watched the landscape shift from no drug testing to selected drug testing, to real drug testing.

Harvey has spent so much time in the sport that we were able to talk about the real changes he has seen made, like the abolition of the press and the 4th attempt rule, and make predictions about future changes to our sport. His insight is unparalleled and genuinely interesting. His level of analysis of the sport as a whole goes way beyond anything I have seen before.

As you all know I love to talk stories with weightlifters, and so for me, this is an all-time episode. Enjoy!

If you could control for all variables, have an unlimited budget and unlimited resources, could you derive an experiment that would ensure Lasha Talakhadze to total 500 kg? In this episode, that is exactly what we did. Much like was done with Kipchoge running a 1:59:40 marathon last week, we broke down the build-up to, the inter-lifting intervention, and the over-all motivations that might lend themselves to a 500 kg total.

This week we witnessed the heaviest clean and jerk of all-time from the greatest super of all-time, Lasha Talakhadze at 267 kg. Earlier this week it broke that Russia has been avoiding internal testing. The results of this are still undetermined though it does not look good for Russia.

With tales from this year's World Championships all the way to stories about Krastev in the 90s, these are the episodes I live for. Discussing the nuances of which elite weightlifters may or may not make the Olympics, how they might game the qualification system, and how we can use our understanding of the system to make educated predictions.

Jake Baker is on the cusp of moving from being a national tier weightlifter to an international one. His career thus far epitomises hard work. With his recent move to California Strength, he hopes to join the ranks of his now international teammates. Having recently PRd everything, a 160 kg snatch, 191 kg clean and jerk, and 205 kg jerk, he is finally just inches away from the numbers he needs to make his first Pan-American team.

After hanging out with Max all day we sat down to record what turned out to be arguably our best episode yet. From an unbelievably in-depth look at microcycles and exercise selection, to untold Cal Strength and Abadjiev stories, this podcast has it all. It is rare to meet someone as analytical as Max Aita and we are very lucky to have been able to spend so much time and record so many episodes with him.
