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!

This week Glenn and I are joined by one of the lifters at the camp, Jordan Sheppard. We spoke about realistic expectation in the sport and whether it is useful or unnecessary, and how to use it for your benefit.

I am finally in the USA with the People's Coach. This week, side by side, we recorded a great episode about Bulgarian training vs Russian training, ie specificity of training rather than the building of more general athletic qualities.

We also spoke about some of the great lifters throughout history and potential battles to come in Tokyo 2020. But first of all I met Cortez, Glenn's prize rooster.

Merry Christmas, Weightlifting Housemates. Whilst most of the weightlifting world had shut down for the last few days, fortunately some athletes carried on training. This week's episode is short but it is sweet. There is a lot to look forwards to over the next few weeks for weightlifting House. Specifically my arrival in the USA, and all of the footage and podcasting that Glenn and I will do.

230kg clean doubles, touch and go reps at 220kg... Despite the weightlifting world slowing down for Christmas, there was still enough in the world to make a podcast out of.

I also dropped some news about the inaugural Weightlifting House competition I plan on holding here in the UK.

The people's coach is back! Great to have Glenn on the show, even if this episode was recorded a month ago. Glenn told us about his 80:20 principle and how it relates to work management and getting the extra work done.
I really hope you all enjoy this week's show, we certainly enjoyed making it.

Finally the moons have aligned and Jordan is on the podcast. Jordan's progression over the last few months has been the fastest of any weightlifter in the USA.

We Spoke about Jordan's goals and aspirations in the sport, his childhood and entry into the sport, and also what he attributes to the amazing progress he has seen over the last year.

I hope you guys enjoy this exclusive interview with Jordan Cantrell.

The American Open saw the eagerly anticipated return of Jordan Cantrell, James Moser, D'Angelo Osorio, Kate Vibert, and several others. Despite losing many athletes to worlds last week, many American records were still set.

In the training world we saw some exciting videos crop up, as well as some above world record lifts.

Most interestingly however was the Kazakh news article about the return of Ilya Ilyin...
