Episode 74: Coaches’ Corner #12 – Taboo Topics in Powerlifting ft. Ryan Gleason and Zac Cooper

This week on the StrongCast, Zac Cooper and Ryan Gleason come back to chat with Kevin about their newer implementations in powerlifting programming and some other “taboo” topics that don’t get much airtime nowadays in the PL community. They cover a lot of ground, including:

02:30: Ryan talks about his new bench press cycle, somewhat based off Westside (though not entirely)
07:40: Why handling heavier weights may increase a lifter’s lifts
09:30: Implementing different origins of training into programming
17:45: The scientific origins of accommodating resistance
27:00: Skill acquisition through the levels of athletes
50:00: The benefits of training equipped for raw lifters
