Weightlifting House

I am finally in the USA with the People's Coach. This week, side by side, we recorded a great episode about Bulgarian training vs Russian training, ie specificity of training rather than the building of more general athletic qualities. We also spoke about some of the great lifters throughout history and potential battles to come in Tokyo 2020. But first of all I met Cortez, Glenn's prize rooster.

Merry Christmas, Weightlifting Housemates. Whilst most of the weightlifting world had shut down for the last few days, fortunately some athletes carried on training. This week's episode is short but it is sweet. There is a lot to look forwards to over the next few weeks for weightlifting House. Specifically my arrival in the USA, and all of the footage and podcasting that Glenn and I will do.

230kg clean doubles, touch and go reps at 220kg... Despite the weightlifting world slowing down for Christmas, there was still enough in the world to make a podcast out of.I also dropped some news about the inaugural Weightlifting House competition I plan on holding here in the UK.

The people's coach is back! Great to have Glenn on the show, even if this episode was recorded a month ago. Glenn told us about his 80:20 principle and how it relates to work management and getting the extra work done.I really hope you all enjoy this week's show, we certainly enjoyed making it.

Finally the moons have aligned and Jordan is on the podcast. Jordan's progression over the last few months has been the fastest of any weightlifter in the USA. We Spoke about Jordan's goals and aspirations in the sport, his childhood and entry into the sport, and also what he attributes to the amazing progress he has seen over the last year.I hope you guys enjoy this exclusive interview with Jordan Cantrell.

The American Open saw the eagerly anticipated return of Jordan Cantrell, James Moser, D'Angelo Osorio, Kate Vibert, and several others. Despite losing many athletes to worlds last week, many American records were still set.In the training world we saw some exciting videos crop up, as well as some above world record lifts.Most interestingly however was the Kazakh news article about the return of Ilya Ilyin...Show Notes - Fares' instagram handle is 'mesohassona'Hit me up on-IG at weightlifting_houseSnapchat at WL_House

Travis and I spoke about his best athletes, how he programs for them, and some of their goals. Of course Jon North became a topic of conversation as we spoke about his time with Jon and Pendlay before he became the coach he is today. We also spoke about the future of USAW and the impact he hopes to have on the sport, as well as his life as an entrepreneur, coach, and athlete and how he balances everything. A truly terrific podcast this week with Travis. Make sure you follow him at all things Mash Elite.

What a phenomenal week we have had in the world of weightlifting. World records, bomb outs, national records, tears, back flips...

What an amazing episode. Glenn and I dropped some huge news that we have both been working on for months. This led to a talk about our goals in life within the sport of weightlifting which was both interesting and motivating for the two of us. I also asked Glenn about his experiences in the backroom/training area at worlds over the years and got some pretty great stories.I cut out a long section about hunting because it went on for a long time, but if people are interested I can always release it separately.

Here is the contest:Post on IG your prediction for the 105+ competition, top 3 places including their max snatch and clean & jerk. Tag me @weightlifting_house and use the hashtag weightliftinghouseprediction and the winner gets something truly epic. I will reveal the prize on IG tomorrow. Also I had to change the usual music for the show, I hope you like the new intro.

The world championships aka Christmas for weightlifters is here! Unofficial world records have been set, and world records are going to be set. Lots of training and competition content in this weeks episode of the Weightlifting House News show!

What an amazing podcast. Max and I spoke for nearly 2 hours, covering all sorts of topics. We spoke about the systems that have been put in place by other countries to ensure their weightlifting success... the way Max writes programs and uses exercises to improve strength and technique... and also of course the world of weightlifting, specifically the future of our sport, the drug culture, and whether USAW is as clean as everyone makes it out to be.This is the most in depth Max Aita interview out there, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as me.

Doing too little volume is more advantageous than too much, as the People's Coach Glenn Pendlay explains. In this week's episode of the Weightlifting House podcast we discuss how much volume is right for you, and how to know based on your age/profession. We also discussed attempt selection in competition, and how one rule does not always fit all.Remember, we still have a 50% sale on Pendlay STRONG 5 as well as a sale on the inauguration of the new program Pendlay STRONG 4. You can find those here -http://bit.ly/2vNTpOu

Last week we lost the greatest weightlifter the world has ever known. After a brief history of Naim Süleymanoglu, I discuss the best lifts from around the world.We are experiencing the calm before the storm, as the major players in the World Championships next week are laying low. There were still of course, many terrific lifts.

Nutrition, Keto, Paleo... Eating as a tool for recovery is second only to sleep, and Glenn had a lot to say about food on this episode. Very quickly the topic of human evolution, modern society, and a hierarchal system took over and the show took a different but fantastic turn.In true Weightlifting House fashion, the show didn't start until Glenn had properly introduced us to his new rooster Cortez.Remember, on Friday (24th) Glenn and I will drop the price for our most popular program (Pendlay STRONG 5) by 50%! So if you have been tiptoeing around the idea of joining, now is most certainly the time to do it as we begin a new cycle on Monday the 27th.

On this week's news show I speak about some of the visa politics as we head ever closer to the World Championships, as well as the peaking we are seeing in some of the top athletes from the USA and the rest of the world.Please share and subscribe, and if you are feeling extra generous, leave me a nice iTunes review and make my day.

The People's Coach Glenn Pendlay and I discuss the two mindsets associated with sticking to the program and going off programs, and why perhaps a successful weightlifter needs a certain amount of crazy in them.

An amazing week on the Weightlifting News show. Not only did we seen the biggest snatch in competition of all time, but the entry totals/start list for the World Championships were released. There were also training lifts this week that surpassed world records. Make sure you spread the word about the only Weightlifting News show in the world.

We also talk about the increasing potential of a new set of weight classes as the 94kg class has been threatened.But first, Glenn discovers the wonders of the mobile phone...Don't forget to pick up a 'Why Be Normal?' t shirt at weightliftinghouse.com/store

This week USAW decided to choose Wes Kitts over D'Angelo for team USA. I go over USAW's decision, the challenges they face in selection, and the pros and cons of their decision. I also talk about the recent announcement that Amy Hay has been popped for taking Ostarine and has received a 2 year ban.Lastly, there were big lifts in Iran, as well as in the rest of the world.
