As coaches, sport scientists, and athletes, we love intellectualizing our sport. There is an attempt to understand as much as possible so we can prescribe training to maximize performance. Behind all of this, the person carrying out this training can get lost amidst a myriad labels.  In this episode, I sit down with Newton Cheng, National champion powerlifter and the director of performance and health at Google, to discuss his life's journey. This journey involves burnout, anxiety and depressive symptoms, and understanding who he is and what he values. After struggling during the start of the pandemic, he turned his life around by doing deep work, finding his values, and pursuing them. This show is dedicated to the people who compete, coach, and study the sport, but are much more than that.Follow Newton:https://www.instagram.com/newtoncheng/https://www.linkedin.com/in/newtoncheng/Sign up for our coaching mentorship group -- our next call is 6/21 at 12 pm EDT!https://coachlogik-mentorship.mn.coSubscribe to my Patreon to support the show!!!Philosophical Weightlifting | Creating Weightlifting podcasts and sharing knowledge.Follow me and get coaching:https://www.instagram.com/josh_philwl/Weightlifting House:https://www.weightliftinghouse.com/ code PHILWL for 10% offOnyx:https://www.onyxstraps.com/ with code PHILWL for 10% offhttps://www.instagram.com/onyx_straps/Virus:https://virusintl.com code PHILWL for 10% offEarth Fed Muscle:https://www.earthfedmuscle.com/ with code PHILWL for 10% off

There are many questions coaches and athletes knowingly (or unknowingly) want the answers to. We have research at our fingertips that may be able to inform our coaching practice, but how do we translate it? In this episode, I sit down with Wanda Sihanath, a PhD student studying under Dr. Kristof Kipp at Marquette, to discuss why weightlifters miss jerks and how to apply the biomechanical research available. This is one you won't want to miss.Follow Wanda:https://www.instagram.com/wl.wanda/Sign up for our coaching mentorship group -- our next call is 6/7 at 12 pm EDT!https://coachlogik-mentorship.mn.coSubscribe to my Patreon to support the show!!!Philosophical Weightlifting | Creating Weightlifting podcasts and sharing knowledge.Follow me and get coaching:https://www.instagram.com/josh_philwl/Weightlifting House:https://www.weightliftinghouse.com/ code PHILWL for 10% offOnyx:https://www.onyxstraps.com/ with code PHILWL for 10% offhttps://www.instagram.com/onyx_straps/Virus:https://virusintl.com code PHILWL for 10% offEarth Fed Muscle:https://www.earthfedmuscle.com/ with code PHILWL for 10% off

There are a lot of unspoken, even unrecognized, assumptions when we think about how individuals respond to training. Regarding gender, we think we know how females will adapt to training compared to males, but are these assumptions valid?Lauren Colenso-Semple, a PhD in muscle physiology, sits down to chat about her work and the larger body of literature examining how females adapt to training. We also single in on the menstrual cycle, specifically how fluctuations in hormones influence the adaptive response. Enjoy. Follow Lauren (and MASS):https://www.instagram.com/laurencs1/https://www.instagram.com/massresearchreview/Follow Kanch:https://www.instagram.com/coachkanch.barbella/Sign up for our coaching mentorship group -- our next call is 5/24 at 12 pm EDT!https://coachlogik-mentorship.mn.coSubscribe to my Patreon to support the show!!!Philosophical Weightlifting | Creating Weightlifting podcasts and sharing knowledge.Follow me and get coaching:https://www.instagram.com/josh_philwl/Weightlifting House:https://www.weightliftinghouse.com/ code PHILWL for 10% offOnyx:https://www.onyxstraps.com/ with code PHILWL for 10% offhttps://www.instagram.com/onyx_straps/Virus:https://virusintl.com code PHILWL for 10% offEarth Fed Muscle:https://www.earthfedmuscle.com/ with code PHILWL for 10% off

The ability to effectively stack together productive training blocks is the hallmark of great programming. It sounds simple, but it can be challenging to do, let alone do well across long stretches of time. In this episode, I sit down with Chris Taber, PhD, to discuss exercise variation, peridization, and the ins and outs of long-term planning.Enjoy.Follow Chris:Chris Taber (@drchristaber) | InstagramChristopher Taber (researchgate.net)Sign up for our coaching mentorship group -- our next call is 5/17 at 12 pm EDT!https://coachlogik-mentorship.mn.coSubscribe to my Patreon to support the show!!!Philosophical Weightlifting | Creating Weightlifting podcasts and sharing knowledge.Follow me and get coaching:https://www.instagram.com/josh_philwl/Weightlifting House:https://www.weightliftinghouse.com/ code PHILWL for 10% offOnyx:https://www.onyxstraps.com/ with code PHILWL for 10% offhttps://www.instagram.com/onyx_straps/Virus:https://virusintl.com code PHILWL for 10% offEarth Fed Muscle:https://www.earthfedmuscle.com/ with code PHILWL for 10% off

Researchers in lab across the world are trying to better understanding the biomechanics of weightlifting. Why isn't that information accessible to coaches and why is it so difficult to translate to practice? In this episode, I sit down with Kristof Kipp, a Doctor PhD and associate professor, to discuss all things related to biomechanics and weightlifting performance. This is one you won't want to miss.Sign up for our coaching mentorship group -- our next call is 5/10 at 12 pm EDT!https://coachlogik-mentorship.mn.coSubscribe to my Patreon to support the show!!!Philosophical Weightlifting | Creating Weightlifting podcasts and sharing knowledge.Follow me and get coaching:https://www.instagram.com/josh_philwl/Weightlifting House:https://www.weightliftinghouse.com/ code PHILWL for 10% offOnyx:https://www.onyxstraps.com/ with code PHILWL for 10% offhttps://www.instagram.com/onyx_straps/Virus:https://virusintl.com code PHILWL for 10% offEarth Fed Muscle:https://www.earthfedmuscle.com/ with code PHILWL for 10% off
