What an amazing episode. Glenn and I dropped some huge news that we have both been working on for months. This led to a talk about our goals in life within the sport of weightlifting which was both interesting and motivating for the two of us. I also asked Glenn about his experiences in the backroom/training area at worlds over the years and got some pretty great stories.I cut out a long section about hunting because it went on for a long time, but if people are interested I can always release it separately.

Here is the contest:Post on IG your prediction for the 105+ competition, top 3 places including their max snatch and clean & jerk. Tag me @weightlifting_house and use the hashtag weightliftinghouseprediction and the winner gets something truly epic. I will reveal the prize on IG tomorrow. Also I had to change the usual music for the show, I hope you like the new intro.

The world championships aka Christmas for weightlifters is here! Unofficial world records have been set, and world records are going to be set. Lots of training and competition content in this weeks episode of the Weightlifting House News show!

What an amazing podcast. Max and I spoke for nearly 2 hours, covering all sorts of topics. We spoke about the systems that have been put in place by other countries to ensure their weightlifting success... the way Max writes programs and uses exercises to improve strength and technique... and also of course the world of weightlifting, specifically the future of our sport, the drug culture, and whether USAW is as clean as everyone makes it out to be.This is the most in depth Max Aita interview out there, and I hope you all enjoy it as much as me.

Doing too little volume is more advantageous than too much, as the People's Coach Glenn Pendlay explains. In this week's episode of the Weightlifting House podcast we discuss how much volume is right for you, and how to know based on your age/profession. We also discussed attempt selection in competition, and how one rule does not always fit all.Remember, we still have a 50% sale on Pendlay STRONG 5 as well as a sale on the inauguration of the new program Pendlay STRONG 4. You can find those here -http://bit.ly/2vNTpOu

Last week we lost the greatest weightlifter the world has ever known. After a brief history of Naim Süleymanoglu, I discuss the best lifts from around the world.We are experiencing the calm before the storm, as the major players in the World Championships next week are laying low. There were still of course, many terrific lifts.

Nutrition, Keto, Paleo... Eating as a tool for recovery is second only to sleep, and Glenn had a lot to say about food on this episode. Very quickly the topic of human evolution, modern society, and a hierarchal system took over and the show took a different but fantastic turn.In true Weightlifting House fashion, the show didn't start until Glenn had properly introduced us to his new rooster Cortez.Remember, on Friday (24th) Glenn and I will drop the price for our most popular program (Pendlay STRONG 5) by 50%! So if you have been tiptoeing around the idea of joining, now is most certainly the time to do it as we begin a new cycle on Monday the 27th.

On this week's news show I speak about some of the visa politics as we head ever closer to the World Championships, as well as the peaking we are seeing in some of the top athletes from the USA and the rest of the world.Please share and subscribe, and if you are feeling extra generous, leave me a nice iTunes review and make my day.

The People's Coach Glenn Pendlay and I discuss the two mindsets associated with sticking to the program and going off programs, and why perhaps a successful weightlifter needs a certain amount of crazy in them.

An amazing week on the Weightlifting News show. Not only did we seen the biggest snatch in competition of all time, but the entry totals/start list for the World Championships were released. There were also training lifts this week that surpassed world records. Make sure you spread the word about the only Weightlifting News show in the world.

In this week's episode Glenn and I break down the order or priority when learning and improving the lifts. We also talk about the increasing potential of a new set of weight classes as the 94kg class has been threatened.But first, Glenn discovers the wonders of the mobile phone...Don't forget to pick up a 'Why Be Normal?' t shirt at weightliftinghouse.com/store

This week USAW decided to choose Wes Kitts over D'Angelo for team USA. I go over USAW's decision, the challenges they face in selection, and the pros and cons of their decision. I also talk about the recent announcement that Amy Hay has been popped for taking Ostarine and has received a 2 year ban.Lastly, there were big lifts in Iran, as well as in the rest of the world.

For the first time since the fall of MDUSA Glenn Pendlay and James Tatum catch up. We spoke about what it was like from James' perspective as MDUSA crashed whilst he was trying to make the Olympic team, as well as Glenn's feelings towards the beginning and end of their time together.We also speak about James' current training, goals, and the announcement of his new book 'The Physically Prepared Weightlifter', which you can pick up here - https://www.stickthejerk.com/books.htmlWe spoke about James' and Glenn's thoughts on developing a strong base upon which to build a weightlifter.Of course this podcast was also rife with great tales of their times training together.As always I aimed to asked the questions we want to know, and I feel like there is a lot to learn from this great podcast.If you liked it, remember to share it around and leave us a review on iTunes!

The European juniors and U23s has come to an end and so I go over some of the biggest, most significant lifts from the week of competition.In training Iran stole the show with a 7kg unofficial world record, as well as their battle of the supers.Of course there is much much more in this episode. Enjoy end share!

Is periodisation necessary to become a champion, and if so, what sort of periodisation is best, and when should you employ it?Most people assume that a very intricate form of periodisation is required for ultimate success, but Glenn explains how he has coached international weightlifters with very little periodisation. We also discuss the traps that many athletes fall into when writing their own programming.This was a very informative podcast and I had great fun chatting with Glenn about this very important topic.Enjoy!Seb O

James Moser smashed the state records, Rebeka Koha destroyed the field at the European Juniors, and Iranian Weightlifting is on a tear! This week's episode packed with great lifting. Make sure you check out the other podcasts as I sit down with the people's coach Glenn Pendlay where we discuss the great word of weightlifting. Also don't miss out on the athlete interviews.

I sit down with not only Glenn, but 4 talented weightlifters from the online team who are currently training hard, twice a day with Glenn out in Kansas.We talk about each athlete's strength and weaknesses and how Glenn works to improve each athlete, as well as some general weightlifting chat.If you enjoyed this episode you know what to do; like it, share it, tell people about it. Thanks for listening, and I'll see you all next time.

There were only a few competitions last week, but fortunately there were enough spectacular training lifts to make this a terrific show.

Will you ever compete again? What are your goals? How did you get so strong? Why does Reddit have an issue with you? What are your thought on American politics? What do you think about drugs in sport? Who are your favourite lifters?I had so many questions I wanted to ask Evan on this week's episode of the Weightlifting House Podcast, and I managed to ask almost all of them. Evan became famous when he began posting videos of himself squatting nearly 300kg on instagram. Since, he has snatched 166kg, squatted 320kg for a double, and completed a number of other insane strength feats. Enjoy the podcast!
