Glenn dropped some great knowledge this week on his preferred peaking strategies for major competition. The manipulation of volume and/or intensity is the knife edge upon which a successful peak must balance. Glenn also told some funny stories about various 'training snowflakes' who claim injury all too readily and find excuses to roll and stretch in place of hard training. Half way through this week's episode Joshua Gibson showed up in time to join in on an interesting short conversation on presidency before we got straight back into in depth weightlifting talk. The main discussion about tapering begins at 19:40.patreon.com/weightliftinghouseglennpendlay@gmail.comweightliftinghouse.comhttps://www.instagram.com/josh_philwl/https://www.instagram.com/seb_ostrowicz/https://www.instagram.com/glenn_pendlay/https://www.instagram.com/weightlifting_house/

We spoke about flat footed pulls, panda pulls, and belt squats. We also finished off with a few hilarious and informative stories about Westside Barbell. Ultimately, a tremendous podcast.

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.
