Weightlifting House

This week we discussed the mechanical role that the lats and the calves play in the pull as well as their EMG as shown in research. We also spoke about some more technical flaws that we commonly see along with how to remedy them. Finally we spoke about some big lifts from the recent weeks as well as a few Olympic predictions.

Chris, Glenn and I go in depth on the European model that was introduced in the early 90s to the OTC residents by the Romanian coach Dragomir. Chris holds the Olympic Training Center record for most repetitions done in a week at over 75%. His work capacity was and still is tremendous. Glenn and Chris broke down the idea that training is a science and compared it more to an art than anything else. The rigid structure of the Soviet programs is, in their eyes, outdated and lacking in individualism.Chris LeRoux first competed at the Jr Olympics in 1988 and went on to set 6 American Records, qualifying for 2 Olympic games, and competing at the World Championships.This is one of my favourite episodes to date and I am excited to hear some feedback from you guys about it.https://www.patreon.com/weightliftinghouseVirus EU -20% code - weightliftinghouseweightliftinghouse.com

Yury Zacharevich is the greatest heavyweight of all time. An incredible mix of strength, power and technique created the holder of 35 world records. Viktor Solodov appeared on the scene as quickly as he disappeared. He was a bright flash in the pan of weightlifting. https://www.patreon.com/weightliftinghouse

Anatoly Khrapaty is the greatest middle heavyweight lifter of all time, and Asen Zlatev is the greatest Bulgarian ever. Both of these lifters competed at their peak during the 80s and set world records that would stun today's world of weightlifters. Weightliftinghouse.comvirus EU 20% off - weightliftinghouse

I compared the top performances of the Kazakhstan nationals with each individual lifter's greatest international performance to demonstrate some of the decline seen since the more stringent levels of drug testing. There were still some huge training lifts, including one that may well be the greatest display of squatting that we have seen thus far in 2018.Virus Europe code for 20% off - weightliftinghouseweightliftinghouse.com (Barbells & t-shirts)

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.

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.

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

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.
