A terrific podcast this week. We spoke about priorities in training and how they shift as we develop as great lifters. Of course we went off topic at points and spoke about some of our favourite lifters.

We have the return of some classic lifters on this week's episode, along with some new faces of lifters you need to be following, including a holder of 50 national records.
As is becoming a staple of the show, I also chose 3 lifts from Instagram from the weightlifting nation that I thought were particularly impressive and gave them a shout out.

Such a passionate conversation with Danny Lehr, the CEO of Caffeine & Kilos. Along with a few stories from the old California Strength days, Danny and I took it away from the lifting of weights. We spoke about how to turn your passion into a living and optimise your abilities. Danny knows better than most about how to make a living off something you love. We dig into the humble beginnings of C&K, and discuss how it came to be, and how it has become the brand that it is today. We also spoke about some tips for success in building a business and in generally being a success. This episode was as much for me as it was for you all!

The new segment of the Weightlifting News show was a success. As well as presenting the highlights of the top athletes from around the world, I mentioned 3 'Average Athletes' who have impressed me with their lifting on Instagram. Every week I plan on talking about 3 strong fought lifts from the people of weightlifting!

One of my favourite ever episodes - As usual we went off topic, talking about stories from when we first started lifting, strange things we do to push ourselves to make life a little more challenging, and of course the sheer beauty of Ilya Ilyin's lifting.
The main topic of the show was about how to know when to end heavy training, as well as how many misses to allow yourself.

Finally after my trip to the US the Weightlifting House News Show has returned! So many great lifts to sift through from the past month, including an attempt at a 9 kilo world record. Enjoy!

After we discuss Glenn's curry, we get onto the topic of programming. We discuss how his programming for athlete Ed Maxwell has changed upon meeting Ed and watching him lift. We also talk about ways to strengthen weaknesses, how to spot a weakness visually, and also the utility of sets of 5 in the snatch and clean. Finally we take a few questions from snapchat - WL_House

A terrific episode from my last day in the USA with the People's Coach. We spoke about the pros and cons of moving fast and moving slow, specifically how it relates to force production. As Glenn explains more force can be produced with a heavier load that causes you to move slowly, however sometimes moving quicker in training than in competition is necessary.

This week whilst I am at the camp Glenn and I thought it would be fun to have a few of the athletes on the show. This week we have Brandon Deines, David Hamor, and Seth Dahlke to give their opinions on the tough double day training that we are undergoing at the camp this year. All 3 great lifters, all 3 on Pendlay WOD.
Enjoy and share!
