The Art of Lifting

For this episode I was joined by Meg Scanlon, we recapped her year so far; the decision to move up to 69kg for the world championships, her adductor injury leading into that, her Rising Tide performance and what she's expecting at Avancus in a couple of weeks. We also spoke about how Meg navigates the pressure of competing so regularly, and more.

For this episode I was joined by Devonte Lewis, who has recently been the talk of the powerlifting world after unofficially squatting an IPF world record squat at Rising Tide, squatting 490.5 at USAPL Nats, and is going to potentially be the first person to truly rival Jesus Olivares' numbers at nationals next year where we will likely see the greatest 120+ match up in powerlifting history. Devonte talked through his story, his background before finding powerlifting, and his love for this sport that he's still learning so much about.

For this episode I was joined by Jasper once again; we were going to have a call to discuss how I plan acute cuts for my own athletes and decided to record it and turn it into a more casual chat for listeners within the space to hopefully also gain some knowledge/get some benefits out of this conversation.

For this episode I was joined by Joe Stanek; we reflected on IPF Worlds and gave our thoughts on who is likely to get the wildcards for this years SBD Sheffield, we spoke through the plans him and Austin have for this year's Sheffield, Keenan's training and injury heading into NAPF, and more

For this episode I was joined by Jasper once again and we talked through some common ways of thinking that can impact a lifters progress and experience within the sport & how we navigate common themes

This week I was joined by Evan Hawk where we discussed his coaching and his goals as an athlete. Evan has seen great growth in his coaching and the calibre of his athletes over the past year and we discussed the experiences he's had, what's coming up and his approach to coaching, as well as discussing the likelihood of Will Ball hitting 1000kg at 93kg

This week I was joined by Joshua Wright who has an incredible record of achievements within Powerlifting and shows no signs of slowing down as he continues to compete within the Open class even now he's reached the Masters. Joshua has recently gone up a weight class, having achieved some incredible things in the -74's, it's now time to see what he can achieve as an -83kg.

This week I was joined by Elliot Sykes, we discussed A LOT, starting with IPF Worlds and some of Elliot's favourite moments as a fan, but then talking through how he would have to be the number one lifter in the world just to qualify for the world championships, we spoke through his ability to compartmentalise and continue working towards these huge goals, and his growth as a person as he's grown up in this sport.
