#247 Dan Bedford
In this week’s episode I was joined by a Strength Chat veteran, being a part of the famous Powerlifting Roundtable episodes. This weeks guest was coach, powerlifter, and the new Head of Strength & Conditioning at Oldham Rugby League, Dan Bedford. I’ve known Dan for some time and have know he’s competed to a good level in both rugby league and powerlifting. However, changing from one sport to another isn’t always straightforward. In this episode we chatted about adjusting to both sports, the pros and cons, as well as touching on the misconceptions about being a powerlifter to other sports.

#245 Eddie Hall
Here’s an episode from the archives for this weeks Strength Chat. In 2018 I had the pleasure of hosting this guy for a seminar in Leeds, U.K., fresh from winning the 2017 Worlds Strongest Man title. Here is the footage of the chat from before that seminar with first man to pull 500kg, Eddie Hall. It was great to hear how open and honest Eddie was, as well as getting a great insight into his mindset. If you’re looking for motivation, this is the episode for you.

#242 Danny Grigsby
For this weeks Strength Chat, it was awesome to be joined by the deadlift king, pulling a mind blowing 487.5kg at The American Pro this year, Danny Grigsby. This feat of strength is even more impressive as Danny is also a full time US Marine and as we discuss in the episode, it’s not always straightforward with managing training. We also covered how he balances training the other lifts in his training, preparing for a competition, and how he keeps on top of his recovery and nutrition.

#241 Paige Mills & Leah Higl
In this week’s Strength Chat, I was joined by two awesome guests, the Founder of INDI Performance and a Sports Dietitian, Paige Mills and Leah Higl. Nutrition is important for performance; however, it often falls down the list of priorities behind training and life getting the way. In this episode we covered the difference between nutrition for performance versus life, common mistakes and how to fix them, as well as adjusting your nutrition to match your training
