Morality Of PED's - Podcast Mini Episode

Sun, 10 Jan 2021 03:37:56 +0000

If you are going to talk about strength eventually you need to talk about drugs. We know they exist in sport, on Instagram and just about everywhere in between. I’m not some diehard zealot when it comes to PED’s but I also hate to see what I consider cheating. In this short segment Ash and Andy discuss the morality of drugs in strength..

A Time For Tempo : Coaches Corner

Sun, 10 Jan 2021 03:28:19 +0000

For pretty much all sports speed is key. So why then would we ever dial thing back or slow things down? If force is a function of mass and acceleration wouldn’t slower concentric and eccentric movements hinder rather than help?

On todays #coachescorner Ash and Andy discuss when you would implement tempo training into your own programs. Why you might do so and when may be inappropriate.

Modifying Your Training For Injury : Coaches Corner

Sun, 10 Jan 2021 03:25:11 +0000

Though frustrating, It’s understandable that from time athletes get hurt. Whether it’s and acute injury, a little niggle or something that has been brewing for a while. What is important is that we take the necessary steps to plan around the issue.

Are we modifying the training plan accordingly to maximise progress during a somewhat tumultuous time?

Hope you find this episode helpful. If it is consider sharing it with your friends and family.

What Is The International Weightlifting Federation Doing??

Mon, 26 Oct 2020 09:28:17 +0000

Look. Most of the time I have no idea what I’m doing.. i just fly by the seat of my pants. But I do expect a lot better from large organisations that are meant to be taking care of the sports we love.

We had 11 minutes prior to coaching to record a mini podcast episode but we did this instead.

The Secret of Tracking Volume (Tonnage) : Coaches Corner

Mon, 26 Oct 2020 03:55:10 +0000

On today’s episode of Coaches Corner or Nerd Talk (still haven’t decided) Andy & Ash discuss volume calculations.

Everyone know the basic functions of 3 sets of 10 for hypertrophy, 3 sets of 5 for strength or 3 sets of 3 for power, but how many sets should you train over a week? How many over a month what about a year?

The key is recording data.. and off course using it 😅

Coaches Corner : Starting Olympic Weightlifting without a Coach (what should you focus on?)

Mon, 10 Aug 2020 12:44:31 +0000

Starting in the sport of weightlifting can be an intimidating prospect, especially as we arrive at the sport at older ages.

How you begin training should be dictated by your previous training history and your movement literacy.

If you have a high degree of strength (powerlifting) but need to work on the basic positions you need to attack that. High frequency is your friend.

On the other side if you come from a crossfit or gymnastics background you may have had experiences with a greater variety of movements. The basic positions involved in weightlifting may not be as challenging for you. Your approach should be more qualitative.

Sun, 31 Mar 2019 00:16:56 +0000

In this episode of the podcast I sit down with Scott Wilson from SAW athletic. Scott is a commonwealth games weightlifting representative and strength coach who owns and operates a gym in Prestons. This chat was amazing with Scott opening up about his evolution within and around the sport. Not many people are this candid about their own thoughts & vulnerabilities, so I’m immensely grateful for Scott going in this deep with me.

Treating Dementia Through Strength Training with Michael Inskip - Episode 67

Thu, 28 Feb 2019 03:15:25 +0000

On today’s episode my guest is Michael Inskip. Michael is a weightlifter but more importantly he’s an exercise physiologist and is currently doing some really cool research into the affects of strength training on dementia patients. This is a long episode and we cover a whole bunch of topics from how to train as an older adult the importance of strength training balance training and even fitness. This is something I’m super passionate and if what the research that Michael is doing proves true, we may have one of the best anti aging medicines at our fingertips.

Struck Down in My Prime

Diagnosed with Guillain–Barré Syndrome

with Andrew Pineda

RAW Barbell Club Podcast

Episode 52

Andrew Pineda is a Olympic weightlifter and head Olympic weightlifting coach at Lift Performance Centre in Redfern. A decent weightlifter himself, last year he had a major goal of qualifying for the 2018 Australian Open. Unfortunately just a week before his competition he got sick and this led to him being diagnosed with Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS). It has been a long road to recover but he’s getting back there.

This is a really cool story and one that I think you guys will love to hear!

Guillain–Barré Syndrome (GBS)

Guillain–Barré Syndrome (GBS) is a auto immune disorder that causes rapid-onset muscle weaknesses. The disease is extremely rare, with only one to to cases per 100,000 people a year. People often don’t fully recover and there is a possible chance that death will occur, mainly due to weakness and changes in the breathing and heart rate mechanics.

Usually people afflicted with GBS have experienced some form of Gastro or Respiratory Infection. Symptoms include, numbness, tingling and pain as well as weakness that progresses over the course of the disease. Only about 1/3 of the people with GBS continue to be able to walk after being afflicted.

A big thank you to Andrew for joining me this week.

You can follow Andrew on Instagram @pineda_weightlifting

Callum Hannay is the head coach and co-owner of Burleigh Barbell Club on the Gold Coast, Queensland. Cal has a vast experience in sports coming from a fighting background and landing in weightlifting later in life.

with Lester Ho

RAW Barbell Club Podcast

Episode 49

Walking to my gate early to catch my flight back to Sydney, we ran into Lester Ho from TG Strength. Lester’s flight had been delayed an hour so by chance I asked him for an interview. Lester is a super smart guy, and I can hear him talk about bio-mechanics all day, what I didn’t know however was that how similar he is in his view of gym culture, how much he cares for his athletes and as well his gym. It was awesome to talk shop learn about his background and story.

I hope you feel the same way.

Post Commonwealth Games Catch Up

with Phillip Liao

RAW Barbell Club Podcast

Episode 48

Right before the 2018 Commonwealth Games, I sat down with our Australian under 56kg representative Phillip Liao to talk about his journey to the games. We discussed his decision to try to qualify, his major weight cut leading up to the games and even some of his thoughts, and philosophies on lifting and life. I was blown away by my conversation with Phil, so much so that after we ended the podcast we talked for another 2 hours. I’ve found that my favourite podcasts really don’t end after we stop recording. They keep going and I always regret turning the computer off.

I thought it would be really cool to catch up with Phil post games to see whats new in his life. Whether his priorities have shifted what he’s been up to and to talk more about thoughts on life and the world.

Manuel Buitrago Ph.D. is a weightlifting coach and is one of the masterminds behind Ma Strength. Ma Strength is a company that has made the teachings, principles and techniques of Chinese weightlifting accessible to the entire world, through their seminars, training camps, Instagram, and now Books.

Ma Strength Book

Chinese Weightlifting – Technical Mastery & Training

Manuel and Coach Ma have just released their first book titled “Chinese Weightlifting – Technical Mastery and Training”. I’ve just finished reading it and I can say that this thing is an absolute must read. It’s pretty much a textbook on how to train, coach, program and look after a weightlifter. It is literally a must have book for ALL weightlifting coaches.

It includes information on:

What the Chinese weightlifting system is and how it works
Technique philosophy & biomechanics by founders of the Chinese weightlifting system
Best practices for coaching and teaching weightlifting
Formulation of long-term and short-term programming
Gender differences in training
and a whole lot more..

I personally loved it and I think you will too. You can buy the Ma Strength Book below:

A big thank you to Manuel for joining me this week.

Between Sets Podcast

Changing Australian Weightlifting For The Better

with Simon Francazio & Darren Coughlan

RAW Barbell Club Podcast

Episode 35

Every now and then I interview someone that really throws me off my game. I like to ask questions, learn from peoples journey’s and see what it is that made them what they are today. I recorded this podcast fresh of finishing my almost biographical series on our Australian Commonwealth Games Weightlifting Team. Suffice to say I was ill prepared for what was going to happen in this interview.

Darren Coughlan and Simon Francazio are the hosts of a new Australian Weightlifting Podcast Called ‘Between Sets’ in the podcast they interview athletes, coaches, and outsiders to talk about current issues the sport of weightlifting faces within Australia and what we can do to fix it.

Episode one featured USA Weightlifting’s very own CEO, Phil Andrews and from there they’ve been able to do some really confronting interviews. My favourite being their interview with Erika Yamasaki (WARNING: Erika’s interview is a very real & shocking account of mental health and domestic violence. It’s worth a listen but it’s also gut wrenching. She is so open and raw, I can’t imagine what she is going through)

What starts of as normal interview turns into a back and forth discussing some of the issue that are going on in our home state of NSW. I end up getting asked a lot of questions pertaining to the NSW Weightlifting Association. I don’t nearly have any of the answers that are asked in the interview. But that doesn’t mean that they aren’t worth answering. Hopefully I can do a round two soon enough.

Biographies Mentioned by Darren:

Anthony Bordane biography
Gordan Ramsey biography – Humble Pie
Marco Pierre White

A Storied Career In Weightlifting

With 5 Time Commonwealth Games Athlete & Olympian

Deborah ‘Lovely’ Acason

RAW Barbell Club Podcast

Episode 31

Deborah Lovely Acason is probably the most accomplished, most experienced and most decorated athlete in our Commonwealth Games Line-up. Deborah is a two time Olympian (Athens, 2004 & Beijing, 2008) and a five times Commonwealth Games Athlete, winning Silver in Manchester (2002), gold in Melbourne (2006), bronze in Delhi (2010), and coming fourth in both Glasgow (2014) and the Gold Coast (2018).

Starting the sport as a way of training strength for her throwing Deborah showed that she had a great potential for the sport of weightlifting. Obviously a powerhouse her and her coach quickly found that she was just as at home throwing a bar over her head as she was on the field. Over the course of her career, there have been many ups and downs including injuries, set-backs and even some time in competitive cycling.

As often in phone interviews. We take a while to warm up into conversation, but once we do actually get a back and forth going I think you guys will love the end result.

Gc2018 is Debs fifth ever commonwealth games. Well Done Deb!!

Thanks Deb for joining me this week!

A Late Start in the Sport

Building a Solid Strength Base, Aligning Priorities & Gargantuan Sacrifices

with 2018 Commonwealth Games Athlete Steph Davies

RAW Barbell Club Podcast

Episode 30

A common thread throughout this series with our Commonwealth Games Representatives is Sacrifice. I don’t think anyone understands this as much as Steph Davies. Steph probably has one of the most expedited careers in Australian Weightlifting. Only being in the sport for a very short time Steph has given up a lot in the pursuit of greatness. From sacrificing her financial future, sacrificing relationships to sacrificing health and wellness in the name of elite sport.

In episode 30 of the RAW Barbell Club Podcast I sit down with Steph Davies your Australian under 75kg weightlifting Representative at the Commonwealth Games. Steph was really generous with her story and she talks about some difficult topics and the struggles and choices she has made. I found this episode to be quite profound, and I hope you guys get a lot out of it as well.

2018 Commonwealth Games Silver Medalist

Stories From a Champ in the Making:

Setbacks, Triumphs and all the In-Betweens

with Kaitlyn Fassina

RAW Barbell Club Podcast

Episode 28

Wow, I can’t believe the Commonwealth Games are over. I’m still buzzing from the excitement seeing all our Aussie athletes kill it on the platform. Especially our 3 medalist Tia, Kaitlyn and Francois! On today’s episode of the podcast I sit down with your under 90kg Commonwealth Games Silver Medalist Kaitlyn Fassina.

This Podcast was recorded a few weeks prior to Kaity going to the games and it documents her prep leading up to the comm games. Before I go into things I want to give her a big congratulations on her performance!

We dive into all things from Kaity’s past including her roots in swimming, which she had to give up due to Glandular Fever, having a baby and the toll that took on her training. We talk about habits and superstitions that lifters pick up over time, and how to train during and post pregnancy.

She even tells me a crazy story about the time she almost got mobbed in Kazakhstan for turning down a random proposal!

Thanks Kaity for joining me this week!

RAW Barbell Club Podcast

Episode 27

Pip Malone is a stone cold Athlete. I think that if she applied herself to any sport within a year or two she’d get herself to the top.

In this episode I talk to Pip about her long career in elite sport, from Gymnastics and Crossfit all the way to white water rowing and lifting. We talk about her personal life and her studies of criminology and psychology and her thoughts on sports and how they run!

Big congratulations to Pip, and I look forward to seeing her make a run for the 2020 Olympics!

Thanks Pip for joining me this week!

RAW Barbell Club Podcast Episode 22

Training Special Forces, Coaching Pirates, Aliens & Breaking Guiness World Records

With JT from Underground RX

I couldn’t be more stoked to bring you guys some time I spent with JT, John Templeton, from Underground RX on our channel. This is a man who gives everything he does 110% from doing too many drugs, to the military, through to winning national bodybuilding competitions and being a successful businessman/coach.

Athletes must succumb to sacrifice and coaches must train their own awareness. Having been a high caliber athlete himself and coaching countless others to the heights of their athletic careers (particularly in CrossFit) JT knows exactly what it takes – but do you?

This episode couldn’t get any more real, raw or honest and I think much of what JT covers in terms of what it takes to be a high caliber athlete or simply a successful person in life will hit home for a lot of you guys.

We’ll leave you with his key slice of advice: know what you want and do everything you possibly can (and more) to get it. If you don’t know how – enlist the help of someone who does!

Special thanks to JT for joining us this week. If you want to find out more about him and Underground RX check out JT.

Thanks for Listening!

xx Andy

Australia’s Largest Weightlifting Club, Cougars

with Angela Wydall

In Podcast Episode 21 we interview Angela Wydall, one of Australia’s best weightlifting coaches.

What makes a good weightlifting coach? Teaching your athletes to train with intentional practice, to train well and execute a program using intuition. And what makes a good athlete? One who attends training! Angela Wydall is a highly skilled and passionate coach who has been in the weightlifting game for over 17 years. This podcast ended up providing an intricate glimpse at life through your coach’s eyes which will be highly fascinating to athletes, as well as relatable and thought-provoking for other coaches alike.

Beginning her own athletic career at Cougars Weightlifting Club in Brisbane, a not-for-profit club and Australia’s largest weightlifting center, it was a natural progression to lend a hand with some coaching. Since then Angela has coached World Championship teams, Junior Olympics, and even monumental moments for Australian weightlifting with coaching Erika Yamasaki to achieving the first ever female double-body weight clean and jerk in Australia!

Being particularly drawn to the technical and individualization aspects of weightlifting we were able to go into detail with her take on how athletes should follow programs, how to address beginners, the challenges of women in sport and logistics of coaching.

As a coach you get to see people in many forms of themselves through the ups and downs of the absurdly difficult sport of weightlifting, and it’s one of the most rewarding jobs in the world. Let’s spread the word…weightlifting is safe and suitable for all people!

Special thanks to Angela for joining us this week. If you want to find out more about her and the Cougars Weightlifting Club. Check out Cougars on both Instagram & Facebook. You can follow Angela herself on Instagram and check out her Website too!

Thanks for Listening!

Weightlifting at the Grass Skirt Level

Empowerment through Sport

With Tahina Booth

Tahina Booth is a Olympic Weightlifter with a captivating presence. With a history of tackling challenges overcoming great obstacles and thriving in the uncomfortable, She is a force to be reckoned with! In Podcast Episode 20 I sit down to chat with Tahina about her story, and her greatest project yet.

We talk about experiencing racism, abuse, unfairness in and out of sport, and then being able to create opportunity through the sports she loves in the Grass Skirts Project.

Tahina’s story is one of unique experiences and gaining perspective which ultimately lead her to develop ways to not only better herself as an athlete, but reach out to communities in PNG in a bid to reduce gender-based inequality and improve public health.

On the competition platform we are all equal, it’s the one place Tahina feels she can truly embody herself where nothing but the love of the sport and commitment to performance matters. This episode is likely to challenge how you approach things we may take for granted such as our physical and social training environments, how we feel about competitive performance and expectations, and encourage you to reflect on your own passions/goals.

RAW Barbell Club is proud to be a supporter of the Grass Skirts Project! So If you would like to make a donation or get involved with The Grass Skirt Project you can get in contact with Tahina and her team here: http://www.grassskirtproject.org/

Special thanks to the Tahina Booth for joining me this week on the podcast. Check her out on Instagram and Facebook, and follow the Grass Skirts Project as well!

RAW Barbell Club Podcast Episode 19

What Does it Take to be a Weightlifter?

with Leo Isaac

If I was asked to pick one word to describe this episode what would it be? Valuable. For Podcast Episode 19 I was lucky enough to pick the weightlifting and experience-rich mind of an Ex-Olympic weightlifter, two time commonwealth record holder and passionate coach Leo Isaac. Leo began weightlifting late in his teenage years but knew immediately that he had come into his own by falling into the sport: this was no weak gut feeling as within 5 years he had qualified for the Olympic Games where he represented England in Moscow. Fast forward 30 years and Leo is now a very successful teacher and coach in the weightlifting world where his involvement runs deep with the AWF as well as owning his own club, with an aptitude for breeding high caliber athletes.

What is weightlifting? To the untrained eye it may present itself as big, fast exertions of physical effort to move a barbell. But ask a wizard of the game and you get a completely different answer – (to put it simply) it’s very much a neural sport in which the brain has to change to accommodate neuromuscular adaptations to coordinate precise movement. The most important piece of advice he feels for anyone to learn from any walk/stage of life is to learn to pick up objects with a straight back. Being able to coordinate hinging at the hip as opposed to rounding the back is as enormous task for a great majority of people particularly if they haven’t been taught from a young age.

From this stems the conversation about youth participation and the current statistics in Australia whereby masters make up the majority of the athletes. What benefits and challenges does this trend stimulate? Furthermore, how can we change our training environments to foster growth of weightlifting in Australia amongst younger populations? The level of nitty gritty detail here is invaluable, and we’d love to hear about your own ideas and experiences with the weightlifting phenomena that has been touched on!

Special thanks to Leo Isaac for joining me this week! If you are in Tassie make sure to check out the Weightlifting Academy of Tasmania. If you are interested in learning more about Leo or weightlifting you must check out his two websites Leo Isaac and Training Weightlifting.

RAW Barbell Club Podcast Episode 18

Raising Athletes, Kicking Ass and Weightlifting World Domination

with Linzey Beister

How hard it is just to become average at weightlifting? What sort of background do you think is optimal to become a seasoned, successful weightlifting athlete and coach? What do you do with the 22hrs you spend outside of the gym? How do you raise and develop kids in such a demanding, difficult and niche sport? Thoughts on athletes who train weightlifting once per week?

I couldn’t be more excited and thankful to have the opportunity to bring this podcast to you guys! Linzey Beister is the owner of the hugely successful Gold Coast Weightlifting which has gone from strength to strength since opening its doors a few years ago. I feel as though I could write endlessly about the pearls of wisdom and the perspective challenging questions that Linzey addressed with lived experience, insight and great amounts of detail in this episode. Not only is the man ridiculously talented and clever at what he does as a coach and business owner, he has a genuine love for helping people get better and is one of the most awesome and nice people I’ve had the pleasure of talking shop with and learning from.

There is quite literally something for everyone in this episode. From stories of his own development and growing into his passions, turning them into business, visions of integrated sporting epicenters, approaches to interacting with and coaching types of people, weightlifting politics, commonwealth games athletes, and kids in sport. The growth and success of the club (in part) due to breeding a culture which invites a feeling of ‘home’ for many of its athletes is a testament to Linzey’s craftsmanship as a coach, his ability to relate to people and savvy business approach (to name only a few things).

Brandon Wakeling and Beau Garrett are two great hopefuls coming out of Gold Coast Weightlifting Club and coached by Linzey who are set to take out top positions in their weight categories in the up and coming Commonwealth Games trials which Australia is lucky enough to host next year. Hosting this competition on home turf and being able to enter athletes in every division is a rare occurrence. We encourage all of our listeners to get amongst it and tune into the spectacular display of weightlifting ability on the 17th of December held at the Quay Sport Centre (formerly state sport centre)… in fact you should absolutely try and witness it in person!

Special thanks to the Linzey for joining me this week. Check him out his Instagram, and follow his awesome club on both Instagram and Facebook

Today we bring a special podcast with a special lady, Parisa Hayeri (I may say that about all my guests but…I promise I mean it)! Welcome to Podcast Episode 17

A 9-5 schedule, turns into 7-bedtime work hours, leading to drinks at the bar to wind down. Does such a lifestyle ring a bell for any of you? Parisa grew up with academia and began her life climbing the corporate ladder like many of us, but somewhere along the way she managed to take a turn which lead her to represent Australia in the sport we love: Olympic Weightlifting. How on earth does a twist like that come about?

I guarantee you that within a minute of listening to this special podcast you’ll probably come to conclude that Parisa is one of the nicest personalities in weightlifting. We chat about her growth from humble beginnings as a cautious coach who got anxious about teaching more than 3 people at once, to meeting her coach Steve Tikkenan and taking on major competitions as an athlete. From opening her own CrossFit business, to what it’s like to prepare and compete with the highest caliber athletes in the country and internationally, all the way through to female incontinence talk!

During the podcast Parisa hint’s at some changes she’s making with her gym and at the time she couldn’t share her exciting news. but since this podcast is being released a few weeks after we originally recorded I want to give e big congratulations on openning your new box under the CrossFit 168 banner! You guys are killing it and it’s awesome to see you have moved into your new place so well.

Personally this podcast seems really relatable, and I hope it can shed some light or open up some possibilities for those of you who may not have been raised with a sport-dominant childhood. Next week I’ve got a really exciting podcast to share with Linzey Beister, the owner and head coach at Gold Coast Weightlifting Club who I was lucky enough to spend a weekend with at the recent AWF coaching conference held at the AIS.

Special thanks to Parisa for joining me this week. If you want to find out more about Parisa and her gym you can follow her lifting journey her on Instagram or see how her new business is going on both Instagram & Facebook

Work, Life & Competition

Becoming a Parent with Yannick Mifsud

SEASON 2

Need a dose of banter? You’ve come to the right place. Welcome to podcast episode 16! I decided to connect with my close friend, athlete, fellow barbell club and gym owner/head coach Yannick Mifsud from Shred Fitness. After being my first guest ever we decided to honour tradition and initiate Season Two in the best way we know how: repartee riddled discussion about sport in relation to our lives, experiences, thoughts and upcoming activities in weightlifting.

Olympic weightlifting is a serious sport. But does this mean everyone has to take it seriously or aim to qualify when they compete as a registered athlete?

This episode features a diverse range of topics and interesting tangents from the Odd Socks Halterophilie Bundesliga and RAW Barbell Open competitions, with specifics about Yannick and his athletes’ performances.. through to fatherhood and parenting. We also lace in some discussion about the vision of both Shred Barbell Club and RAW Barbell Club when it comes to developing athletes and the prospects of higher level performance.

Next week we chat to Parisa Haeri: Gym owner and Oceania medalist about her unusual weightlifting journey.

Special thanks to Yannick for joining me this week. If you want to find out more about Yannick and his gym check out his Facebook & Instagram

Thanks for Listening!

RAW Barbell Club Podcast Season Two Teaser Trailer

I know it’s been a while since I’ve been in touch with you guys via some podcast content, but I’m back!
After connecting with more weightlifting personalities who play varied roles in our sport, I think you’ll find it’s worth the wait.

After my little hiatus, I’ve returned and have decided to deliver the RAW Barbell Club Podcast in seasons. This gives me time to hunt down and share the pleasure of gaining insight into the minds of some weightlifting coaches, athletes, and generally interesting people within the lifting community/industry. So, prepare yourselves to nerd out and learn a little more about some of the names, faces, approaches, experiences, expertise’ thoughts and opinions about our sport!

Stay tuned for next week when we chat to Yannick, owner and head coach of Shred Barbell Club who recently coached at the Master’s Championships held in Queensland.

Thanks for Listening!
