Philosophical Weightlifting Podcast

Mike Burgener has quite possibly done more for the sport of weightlifting than anyone else. He's had his hand in the development of some of the best lifters and coaches this country has seen. Not only that, but he was also a critical part in the spread of weightlifting to CrossFit.Join us as we cover a range of topics, everything from the abolition of the press and changes in programming since, to what serving in the Marine Corp has done for his demeanor and coaching style.Enjoy.Follow Coach B:https://www.instagram.com/mikeburgener/Follow me:https://www.instagram.com/josh_philwl/

Shaun Joffe is a researcher, weightlifting coach, and lecturer at St. Mary’s University. He’s just started his academic journey after a long stint in S&C and has already managed to produce some great research.In this podcast we discuss two publications, both looking at different aspects of the pull and particular performance variables associated with each. We explain why coaches should possibly start incorporating more work in the start position, particularly deadlifts. We also take a few twists and turns, discussing exercise selection, periodization, and biggest lessons learned.This was a fantastic show and I hope you all enjoy our deep dive into some high quality research that’s been done by Shaun and his collaborators.Enjoy.Follow Shaun:https://www.instagram.com/shaunjoffe/https://twitter.com/Joffe1
