Anatoly Pisarenko and Nicu Vlad are two of the most iconic weightlifters of all time. Between them they hold the second best snatch and the second best clean and jerk of all time by sinclair. These Weightlifting legends are the giants upon whose shoulders we stand. Also if you ever wanted to know why they were called RDLs, this episode is for you...Virus EU 20% off - weightliftinghouseweightliftinghouse.com (Barbells and T-Shirts)

We say goodbye to the weight classes this week as the final opportunity to make one's mark on weightlifting history passes. Also we say goodbye to the legend Behdad Salimi, and hello to new world records and new weightclasses.I go through each session from the Asian Games giving you the run down on what happened, as well as some of the big lifts from countries outside of Asia who were still training.Barbells - weightliftinghouse.comVirus EU 20% off - weightliftinghouse

For many lifters technique breaks down due to a lack of strength in certain muscle groups, not because of a lack of understanding of what to do. Knowing what exercises will improve you is an important and individual thing. This is easily one of my favourite episodes ever. The depth and practicality of our conversation I hope will benefit you guys immensely. Josh and I always have fire chats, and this was the best one so far. Make sure you follow Josh on IG @josh_pdp and check out his podcast 'The Philosophical Weightlifting Podcast' on Spreaker & iTunes.

Aleksandr Kurlovich, the greatest super heavyweight of all time stars alongside Aleksandar Varbanov, the second best clean and jerker ever. These two lifters are simply stunning...Weightliftinghouse.comvirus eu -20% code - weightliftinghouse

By my estimations this week has been the best week of weightlifting since the 2017 World Championships. World record attempts, training world records, 210kg snatches... This week has had it all. weightliftinghouse.comVirus EU 20% off code - weightliftinghouse

Once the emotional response to names like Mark Rippetoe and Louie Simmons have passed then we can have a real conversation about the low bar and the high bar. No single exercise is inherently a bad exercise. All exercises have their place in training. Whether that place is in your programming is another question, but at least weigh up the pros and cons of this divisive movement first.weightliftinghouse.comVirus EU code for 20% off - weightliftinghouse

This week we have Ivan Chakarov, the inventor of the 'No No No Squat', and Blagoy Blagoev, the greatest snatcher of all time! These 90kg Bulgarians ruled the middle weight classes for almost the entirety of the 80s...weightliftinghouse.comVirus EU 20% off code - weightliftinghouse

Half way through this week's episode I just had to take a break to talk about the recent consensus amongst the weightlifting community that the Rostami - Moradi battle is a forgone conclusion by way of Moradi. This is careless thinking. I am not saying that Rostami will win, but the guy is being criminally misremembered in my opinion.Also this week Polovnikov deadlifts 370kg, Kaiser Witte blows my mind, and much much more...weightliftinghouse.com Virus eu 20% off code - weightliftinghouse

I sat down with two academics (a writer and an artist) who write and create professionally alongside lecturing. What started off as a basic description of weightlifting developed into a deeper search for the underlying desire to lift weights, and also the many similarities between their search for perfection in writing and art, and mine in lifting weights.'He who has a why can bear almost any how.' - Nietzsche I hope that you all find this particular episode as interesting and inspiring as I did.

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.weightliftinghouse.comVirus Europe 20% off - weightliftinghouse

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!weightliftinghouse.comvirus eu code (-20%) - weightliftinghouse

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.

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.Weightliftinghouse.com for Barbellseu.virusintl.com - code weightliftinghouse for 20% off

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.Check out Dr. Mike Israetel on IG @rpdrmike & rpstrengthReach out to him for seminars, training plans, & diet plans!weightliftinghouse.comVirus eu (-20%) - weightliftinghouse

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!Virus eu (-20%) - weightliftinghouse

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...Enjoy!Virus EU (-20%) - weightliftinghouse
