Periodisation, the Art of Coaching, and the Benefits of Micro and Macro Routines. John Kiely (part jock part nerd) was the head S&C coach for Team Great Britain at the 2008 Olympics, he worked with the Irish Rugby team for several 6 Nations as well as the 2015 Rugby World Cup and the Autumn series, and he has coached countless international medalists across many sports over his 30 year career. John is by his own description 'fascinated by physical preparation.' As a younger man he won national titles in boxing and kick boxing yet only describes himself as a 'mediocre athlete'. I cannot recommend this podcast highly enough to all athletes and coaches who wish to succeed at the highest of levels.

Nutrient timing as it relates to weightlifters is not the most researched topic in the world but Josh and I summarised what research does exist. We also spoke about the lack of planning for when things do go wrong so that you don't freak out as goals begin to look less likely and even fade away.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCd5WxLFvKjEbJl5xyUqyHSwpatreon.com/weightliftinghouseweightliftinghouse.comhttps://www.instagram.com/seb_ostrowicz/https://www.instagram.com/weightlifting_house/https://www.instagram.com/josh_philwl/

Josh and I nailed this episode on how much protein we should really consuming. We discussed the research by Stuart M. Phillips on dietary protein for athletes.
