High Bar vs Low Bar - Stop Being Emotional
Once the emotional response to names like Mark Rippetoe and Louie Simmons have passed then we can have a real conversation about the low bar and the high bar. No single exercise is inherently a bad exercise. All exercises have their place in training. Whether that place is in your programming is another question, but at least weigh up the pros and cons of this divisive movement first.weightliftinghouse.comVirus EU code for 20% off - weightliftinghouse

WL News | A Rostami vs Moradi RANT
Half way through this week's episode I just had to take a break to talk about the recent consensus amongst the weightlifting community that the Rostami - Moradi battle is a forgone conclusion by way of Moradi. This is careless thinking. I am not saying that Rostami will win, but the guy is being criminally misremembered in my opinion.Also this week Polovnikov deadlifts 370kg, Kaiser Witte blows my mind, and much much more...weightliftinghouse.com Virus eu 20% off code - weightliftinghouse

A Search for Deeper Meaning in Weightlifting, with an Artist & a Writer
I sat down with two academics (a writer and an artist) who write and create professionally alongside lecturing. What started off as a basic description of weightlifting developed into a deeper search for the underlying desire to lift weights, and also the many similarities between their search for perfection in writing and art, and mine in lifting weights.'He who has a why can bear almost any how.' - Nietzsche I hope that you all find this particular episode as interesting and inspiring as I did.

Taranenko | Sinclair Countdown | Ep.16 (14-13)
Leonid Taranenko is known as the strongest weightlifter of all time and for many, the strongest man of all time. Why? For putting the most above head. But the story behind how he clean and jerked more than any man ever, and the money involved, is also very interesting.Alexander Gunyashev also features in this episode as possibly the least known athlete in the top 15 highest Sinclairs ever.weightliftinghouse.comVirus Europe 20% off - weightliftinghouse

Q&A w/ The People's Coach and the Voice of the People
As we sat in McDonalds the questions from our Instagram Q&A flew in. So, Glenn and I decided to answer them all on the podcast. This led to great discussions and gave us a feel for what you all want to know. This turned out to be a terrific episode and hopefully in time a staple of the show!weightliftinghouse.comvirus eu code (-20%) - weightliftinghouse

Manipulating Force w/ Bar Placement
Glenn is in the UK! We had a tremendous discussion which opened my eyes to the mechanisms behind a few well known yet poorly understood weightlifting concepts. The first is the reasons behind pulling from different positions. We all know that it helps strengthen that area, but why? The second was on the double knee bend, the reasons for it, and why some lifters actually don't need it! This is a hall of fame episode.The discussion of the first topic starts 15m 12s in. Enjoy!weightliftinghouse.comviruseu -20% code weightliftinghouse

Kakhi Kakhiashvili | Sinclair Countdown | Ep. 15 (16-15)
You can make a strong case that Kakhi Kakhiashvili is the greatest weightlifter ever. No one won more Olympics than him... He set world records in multiple classes and in each lift... He has won just about as many international championships as any... And as you will learn, he was held back by the great Vasiliy Alekseyev.Also this week we have the super-heavy Jaber Saeed Salem, a lifter who is almost unchallenged in the 120kg bodyweight range.
