Glenn and I talk about the difference and interactions between the roles that skill and talent play in overall development in weightlifters.

Incredible episode on the Armenian drug culture & Norik's technique. This episode covered 2 main topics - Norik's favourite variations of the lifts and the technical faults that they correct, as well as the drug culture in Armenia and around the world. We actually ended up going quite deep into how tests are passed, how how frequently athletes will dose up, and whether the current system will continue to allow drugs into the sport.Greatest Weightlifters of All Time book - weightliftinghouse.comBars and T-shirts - weightliftinghouse.comVirus EU 20% off code - weightliftinghousepatreon.com/weightliftinghouse
