Strength Chat

In this week’s episode I chatted with the Head of Performance of British Weightlifting, Stuart Martin. With the recent success of British Weightlifters at recent international competitions and the Olympics, there’s a pretty exciting future ahead for British Weightlifting. However, outside of the day-to-day programming and training from the lifters, there has to be a bigger plan in the background. This is where Stuart comes in. Therefore, in this episode, we chatted about putting a strategy and plan in place to prepare athletes for the Olympics.

This guy! It was a pleasure to have him as a guest on Strength Chat once before, and it was even better catching up with him again. In this week’s episode I was joined by The Australian Strength Coach and creator of The Strength System, Sebastian Oreb. When it comes to getting people stronger, this guy knows what he’s talking about. You only have to look at the clients he’s worked with. However, is getting people stronger just down to programming and how much can a coach influence strength. We discuss this topic, as well as a few tangents, in this episode.

It was an absolute pleasure having these two guys as guests on this week’s episodes. Really enjoyed hosting this weeks Strength Chat with two coaches who have multiple world and national titles to their names, simply put, they know what they’re doing when it comes to coaching powerlifting.

There’s a reason why their athletes are so successful.
