Philosophical Weightlifting Podcast

Have you ever wondered how someone could go from coaching in their garage to running a weightlifting gym with nearly 200 members? In this episode of the podcast, Chris Amenta details his development as a coach and how he was able to build SoCal Weightlifting into the behemoth that it is today. We also chat about Onyx and Mavrik, two equipment companies meant to better supply the weightlifting world with straps, belts, plates, and more.Follow Chris, SoCal, Onyx, Mavrik:https://www.instagram.com/chris_amenta/https://www.instagram.com/socalwlc/https://www.instagram.com/onyx_straps/https://www.instagram.com/mavrikbarbell/

Have you ever wondered what it takes to start and host a successful podcast? Well, it would start by defining what "success" means for you. With that out of the way, Arthur Lynch, host of the No Lift Podcast, joins me as we sit down to discuss our podcasts, how they started, where they're going, and where we hope to end up. Along the way we also cover many other topics, including the perception and continuity of achievement.Enjoy this very special episode!Follow Arthur:https://www.instagram.com/arthurlynch/https://www.instagram.com/noliftpodcast/

I've been utterly consumed by the On Coaching podcast with Steve Magness and Jonthan Marcus. I reached out to Jon recently to see if he would be interested in recording a show with me.
