The TG Podcast

It's been a long time coming but we are back with a Workshop! Our last workshop for the year where we run through the Snatch and its complexities, trying to make the science easy for you to digest. UPDATE: as of the time when this is posted, we have sold out of spots! Enjoy! Like, share and/or subscribe to our Podcast. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to share them with us!

The broadest topic, apart from training, which we can talk about! But definitely something which we can go into so much detail with. With this episode, we provide a brief introduction to the topic of Recovery. What it means and how we do it at TG.  We base it firstly off the Super-Compensation model where you have fitness over time. Then it's about manipulating the variables of the model to allow you to achieve adaptations based off how much you train vs how much you recover.  We also dive into the various modalities of recovery and what we provide at TG so that you can have more information on how to utilise what at which point of your training.  We finish off the podcast with some recommendations on how to better practise your recovery so that it suits your schedule, availability and equipment (or lack of equipment).  Hope you enjoy listening to this one! As usual, if you have any feedback for us, please do not hesitate to reach out! If you like this episode, please feel free to like, tag or share this episode on your social media platforms.

We are back again with our Podcast!  It's been awhile since our last one and we are now back to give you more insights to what's happening with TG.  Cera and myself provided an update on what's been happening individually since the last time we spoke to you with some exciting times ahead for you to work with us.  We also discussed the topic of the various jerk styles you see in weightlifting and gave some information on what we felt were the pros and cons of each style.  Feel free to share this and subscribe to our social media platforms for more helpful information in your training and lifting! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to drop us a DM or send us an email at lester@thetraininggeek.net Hope you like this one and enjoy! 

The TG Coaches are back and this time, we are diving into the most common topic in weightlifting - Technique! Like they always say, there are many ways to skin a cat. How you approach technique is very much dependent on several different factors revolving around the coach, the individual and even the environment. In this episode, we try to provide an understanding of how technique is usually approached in weightlifting, what variables are considered within the discussion of technique itself, and our take on how we approach solving certain common issues related to one's technique. We do apologise if we sometimes go off alittle on a tangent as it's something very close to our hearts and something we emphasise alot on here at TG Strength.

In this episode, we explore the world of feet and how it affects movement, particularly in weightlifting. We bring about references to general movement and understand how the different movements of the feet affect force production. More importantly, we look at the various elements of shoes to help facilitate the movement of the feet (or restrict) and how that affects us in our lifting! Bonus: you get to see my shoe collection.

Weightlifting is not just a sport. We always advocate at TG that weightlifting can be a way of training to improve the quality of life. Come listen to the coaches from TG Strength and how we actually approach making a sport that seems so complex become easily digestible and understandable to someone who has never done it before. P.S. We also coupled this with an IG Live so that we got some questions from the audience. If you have any questions for us, do not hesitate to comment on the podcast or contact us directly!

Back with a new episode and who better to chat to than my fellow coach at TG, Cera Lai! Listen to her weightlifting story and how she went from lifter to coach with us.

Lessons from Montreal. It has been a great time at the World Masters Championships. See what I have learnt and what you can actually take away from my trip here with my lifters.

We speak to Dr Katie Rose Hejtmanek who is one of TG’s remote lifters from the US. She talks about how she got into weightlifting, her life changing with weightlifting and what weightlifting has given her in life. Enjoy!
