Get a better camera person

Just discovered your content and the podcast. Brilliant work! I really appreciate the depth and detail with which you're willing to treat topics of strength and conditioning and weightlifting. It's a real breath of fresh air 🙌

WL is a kind of sports done primarly by upper legs and waist

Good to see you’ve kept this podcast alive for over eight years now.

It was really cool that you were able to get them on the show earlier before he broke the world record. In the age of Instagram and TikTok, we can forget that there was a progression and there were steps in between these people making world records and just starting out for the first time.

Thank you kind sirs

Love this!

Thanks for getting Seb and Glenn on this episode. Seb has done leaps and bounds as far as producing interesting weightlifting media, and it’s a shame we lost Glenn. May he rest in peace.

looking forward to the meta science conversation!!

And to think that Zach is a musician now. Our boy Telly, helped me started, so thanks for getting him on the podcast.

Your interview with Olivia Reeves was the first episode. I watched, now I’m going to all the older episodes trying to get “caught up “. I appreciate you sharing these conversations with the world. Thank you, Joshua.

Thanks for getting Eric Helms on to talk about this. For a lot of us recreational lifters, we shouldn’t become so obsessed with our body composition and weight class to the point where weightlifting is no longer fun and causes an eating disorder. That said, managing our body fat will improve mobility and improve general health. A reasonable goal is to find that weight class that allows you to achieve your best Sinclair and not constantly feeling achy and looking forward to the next meal.

She is incredible!

Awesome 👌 always look forward to a Joshua and Eric combo

I liked watching Olivia at Euros and Thailand, but after 6 minutes here, I am bored, because I am not hearing what I want to hear, as a new lifter...I would rather someone say, look we trained very hard before the euros' or wherever, we didnt just pick a number, but started off with such and such, and every session up'ed it by 2kg, with the view to peek just before this meet,,, I personally, dont understand why lifters waste energy in the backroom at a meet with numerous heavy lifts, before they go on..why waste energy...why not just warm up light and then save your strength of the big three lifts...these are the things I wish lifters would talk about, not what I did,,,

ALee is the Master

Been following for couple of years now & said way back then about having T shirts made that says Lift like Olivia! Having fun & enjoying life! She’s fulfilling her potential due to a great Attitude & Appreciation! Love that she follows F1 & that level of intensity. CrossFit really helped Weightlifting, unfortunately the presentation of the sport in the United States has always been lacking. Thank You Oliva for all the hard work, Keep it going Paris Gold is Your Destiny!!🙏🏋️‍♂️⚡️✨😊

that bottom of the squat explanation helped me a lot thanks

Recommend! That quad, hammy, quad explanation is gold.

Great one, thank you❤

Watching this after Europeans it definitely seems like 110 snatch 140 clean and jerk is opening weight for her. Crazy to think Kate Vibert is now calling Olivia Reeves the greatest US female weightlifter ever.

My lifting philosophy comes from Nietzsche: It is not surprising that the lambs should bear a grudge against the great birds of prey, but that is no reason for blaming the great birds of prey for taking the little lambs. But the birds of prey will say to themselves, “We bear no grudge against them, these good lambs, we even like them: nothing is tastier than a tender lamb.” To require of strength that it should not express itself as strength, that it should not be a wish to overpower, a wish to overthrow, a wish to become master, a thirst for enemies and antagonisms and triumphs, is just as absurd as to require of weakness that it should express itself as strength. It’s toxic but damn does it hype me up

I am fan number one from Venezuela. You are the Queen. I can see Olympic gold.

Great interview, Jake!

Practicar

Under Ajan, we had normal corruption. He managed the corruption, in a sport that will always have some level of corruption. When he was in charge, weightlifting was in the Olympics. Now he's gone, and...

I love it how people can not digest the truth. Happens all the time with brodericks interviewers. They are afraid of losing followers, because these will 98% talk shit and don't know nothing at all about what's going on in pro sports

this is good instruction, accurate and helpful

Are you in California?

I did my best lifting using this technique, it worked so good I stopped doing it

There are mountains of information out there on PEDs for bodybuilding, and a small amount for powerlifting. There is almost nothing out there for weightlifting or track and field. The closest we get are PEDs for MMA, and even that is too far from what we’re interested in because of their need for steady state cardio

I've never watched a video with "No Views"

wow, less than 5 mintutes video and I learned much than 5 hours

Timestamps would be helpful to navigate these podcasts

Awesome man! Thanks guys!

29 minutes in, peds discussing. Well 30..

Promo-SM 🌸

Amazing podcast, still relavant today. Thank you for sharing knowledge.

Plz make a video about the clean soon!!

Zach Caswell is an amazing coach. My daughter lifts with Optimus Barbell, and what the sport, a great coach, and a wonderful team have done for her, helping her grow personally, professionally in strength, both physically and mentally, is PRICELESS!!

So much info in 9 minutes. thx.

I can do snatch with relatively good form & position from power position down to mid thigh, but below that, things start to fall apart. Can't have full extension, because I think I bring my back too far behind the bar. Any advice or drill to correct that? Thanks

That 125 got me hype

Thanks, Josh. Could you please teach how to get snatch in a future video?

Thanks for the video Josh. I find these really helpful for improving snatch technique. Is there an equivalent for improving clean technique? Should the same no hook/no feet/no contact be applied to the clean as well or should there be modifications?

Which one is better to improve your overall snatch, block snatch from the knee or hang snatch from the knee? Don't have access to the block

love this episode!!!

Very helpful! Thank you for sharing this!

I LOVED this podcast 👍🏻
