Leonid Taranenko is known as the strongest weightlifter of all time and for many, the strongest man of all time. Why? For putting the most above head. But the story behind how he clean and jerked more than any man ever, and the money involved, is also very interesting.
Alexander Gunyashev also features in this episode as possibly the least known athlete in the top 15 highest Sinclairs ever.

The worlds best lifters delivered again this week from competition, training halls, and garage gyms. From world record snatches to some of the heaviest muscle snatches of all time.

As we sat in McDonalds the questions from our Instagram Q&A flew in. So, Glenn and I decided to answer them all on the podcast. This led to great discussions and gave us a feel for what you all want to know. This turned out to be a terrific episode and hopefully in time a staple of the show!

Glenn is in the UK! We had a tremendous discussion which opened my eyes to the mechanisms behind a few well known yet poorly understood weightlifting concepts. The first is the reasons behind pulling from different positions. We all know that it helps strengthen that area, but why? The second was on the double knee bend, the reasons for it, and why some lifters actually don't need it! This is a hall of fame episode.
The discussion of the first topic starts 15m 12s in. Enjoy!

Rostami's progress is looking to provide a terrific show-down with Sohrab as we work our way through the quad towards 2020. Big lifts were hit this week from every continent, making for a particularly exciting week.

You can make a strong case that Kakhi Kakhiashvili is the greatest weightlifter ever. No one won more Olympics than him... He set world records in multiple classes and in each lift... He has won just about as many international championships as any... And as you will learn, he was held back by the great Vasiliy Alekseyev.
Also this week we have the super-heavy Jaber Saeed Salem, a lifter who is almost unchallenged in the 120kg bodyweight range.

Fernando Reis repped a 230kg jerk, Moradi did Moradi things, and the new USA Rankings based of ROBI points got released. All is discussed in this week's news show.

My favourite episode of all time. Dr. Mike explained how we can use Minimum Effective Dose (MED), Maximum Recoverable Volume (MRV), and many other parameters in creating the most scientifically backed program possible.

Ilya vs Aramnau is THE battle of the moment. We also had lifts from WR holders like Lasha Talakhadze, Wu Jingbaio, and Sohrab Moradi. A great episode with great lifters. Enjoy!

Long episodes are the best episodes! Glenn Pendlay and I discussed many of the changes in the rules of weightlifting which led to great improvements. We spoke about gaining strength via slow movements vs fast ones. At one point the podcast even got political...
