Stu Martin is the Head of Performance Strategy for British Weightlifting, playing a critical part in the success of Team GB at the national and international level. Stu has also recently co-authored one of the best papers, in my opinion, breaking down technique from both a science and practice standpoint.

Join us as we discuss what it's like planning the journey for an Olympic-level weightlifter, what efficient technique is and how you'd go about teaching it, and programming considerations for beginners, intermediates, and elite-level athletes.
