Jasha Faye has seen it all. He trained under Steve Gough early in his career in the 80s, under Dragomir at the OTC in the 90s, and has competed and coached internationally since. His incredible stories from various world events that he has been to are an absolute treasure to the true weightlifting fans out there.

Josh Gibson and I talk about the many ways to progress throughout the training week, the training program, and you career. Adding weight is by no means the only way to periodise. Josh and I break down the uses of additional weight, time under tension, slow eccentrics, and volume.

Usually after the World Championships the weightlifting world lies quietly. Whether or not it is because of the new qualification procedures or not, this year the weightlifting world is already back to training hard.

Time Stamps below! Valerios Leonidis is the greatest weightlifter I have ever had the privilege of speaking with. He is a 5 time WR holder, a 3 time world medalist, a 6 time European medalist, and the greatest rival to Naim Suleymanogu. Valerios was also a member of the Greek 'Dream Team' alongside Pyrros Dimas and Kakhi Kakhiashvili, and he competed in what has been described by many as 'the greatest weightlifting session of all time'.
