Podcasts about coach burgener

I'm excited to bring this interview with Coach Mike Burgener.  Coach B has been a long-time friend, mentor, and coach of mine.   If you are involved in CrossFit, his coaching has touched you in one way or another.  Either by being directly coached by him or by your coaches who have benefitted from his coaching.   We sit down and talk about mindset, nutrition, productivity, and the importance of ritual.  It was a pleasure, and I'm happy to share this with you all.   You can visit Burger Strength and learn how to do the Olympic Lifts here:https://burgenerstrength.com/

When I retired from teaching high school last year, I worried about losing all of the social interaction that I got from teaching 150 students daily. So, I secured an adjunct position teaching aspiring educators at Muskingum University. I also teach refugees how to speak English. These teaching gigs have been a joy, but it’s a different life because I’m only teaching 3 days a week–which is also a joy. My new-found freedom affords me the opportunity to explore, grow, and take risks. I also want to keep expanding my human capital. Relationships make life worth living and I love forging new ones. One area of growth that I’ve been exploring this year is fitness. I have so much more time to workout now and I love it. I researched ways that I could challenge myself physically and grow myself socially. At the end of my exploration, I concluded that I should join a Crossfit gym. Crossfit significantly challenges you physically and promotes community. Crossfit gyms are highly social places. That was exactly what I was looking for. I found an excellent local gym–Crossfit Polaris . Kristi Eramo is the owner and a prominent games athlete. I love her teaching style and was excited to learn from her and the other coaches at Polaris. Unfortunately, the Covid 19 Pandemic short-circuited my plans. After just 3 introductory classes, the gym was forced to close. I was left high and dry. So, I got busy coaching myself. I pulled the workout of the day (WOD) off the Crossfit site and started doing them. I watched training videos and listened to podcasts hoping to improve my olympic lifting form. Lifting is a key part to Crossfit. I decided that I was going to take one of the most challenging olympic lifts–the snatch, and learn how to do it. Here’s a description of a snatch:The snatch can be described as jumping a barbell through a range of motion and receiving it into an overhead squat. And here’s a brief video if you’d like to see a young woman perform one expertly. You have to be strong, mobile, explosive, coordinated, and courageous to perform this lift. I’m starting from ground zero, but I’m determined to learn this lift. When I searched for Olympic lifting techniques on Google, YouTube, and podcasts, one name kept materializing–Mike Burgener. Now all of you who’re inclined to exit this podcast because you’re not interested in learning about performing an olympic snatch, stop yourself. This program is not about lifting, it’s about teaching. And Mike Burgener is one of this nation’s premier educators. Here’s a bit about Coach Burgener:He has a BA from Notre Dame and played on their 1966 National Championship Football Team.He has an MS from the University of Kentucky in Exercise Physiology, where he was also the strength coach.He was a captain in the Marine Corps.He’s a Senior International Weightlifting Coach for the United States.He’s considered the Godfather of Olympic Lifting for Crossfit.And for decades, Coach Burgener was a proud public educator–teaching high school physical education in California.I got to know Coach Burgener because I sent him an email asking a question. The next thing I knew, I was in his Level 1 weightlifting class. This is a special man and he’s going to talk about his mentors and challenge you to not only listen to the ones you already have but to be open to new ones.

Mike Burgener is known by most as Coach B. After excelling at multiple sports in high school, Coach B headed to Notre Dame to play football. This is where he began what would be the most influential relationship of his life, weightlifting with Father Lange. He went on to get an MS degree from the University of Kentucky and was a Captain in the United States Marine Corps. But Coach B’s passion for Olympic Weightlifting is what he has focused on for over 50 years as an athlete, coach, and mentor. He is a Level 5 Senior International Weightlifting Coach, a certified strength and conditioning specialist, and got involved with CrossFit early on as their weightlifting SME. He runs Mike's Gym, the 5th CrossFit affiliate, out of his garage with a special emphasis on training "The Geezers".  He has been named coach of the year by United States Weightlifting but maybe more importantly is considered family by the athletes he coaches. For more info on Coach B, check out his website here, or follow him on Instagram and Facebook.

Things take time, we all know this. But sometimes, you have to purposely slow things down in order to excel at them. The term "Slow is Smooth, Smooth is Fast" is a term that was not only coined by the U.S. Military to teach soldiers how to shoot accurately. But it was a term coined by Coach Burgener to teach weightlifters how to move deliberately. Come find out how to slow things down, here with me, your host, and accountability coach. Any questions?

Episode 32 of the Doc and Jock Podcast features Diane Fu of Fu Barbell and San Francisco CrossFit   Diane Fu tells all, well, she answers our questions regarding Weightlifting and business systems!  Diane was exposed to Weightlifting late in life and has used that to her advantage to put together an eclectic bag of coaching tricks.   As the conversation begins we dive into her early introduction to the Sport of Weightlifting, former USA Olympic Team Coach – Jim Schmitz.  Interesting enough we find out how coaches back in the day used to trade tape to help their remote athletes.   Diane, “Keeps her ear to the Ground” and tries to listen to any coach willing to share their voice to “make the world a better place.”  She doesn’t believe there are right and wrong ways to Weightlift, just different ways.  Currently Diane is hanging around with Coach Wu Chuanfu (@wuchuanfu), the Singapore Team National Coach (https://www.facebook.com/singaporeweightliftingfederation?fref=ts).  Through Coach Wu Diane is diving deep into Chinese Weightlifting Concepts.   Diane also comments on the positive aspects of CrossFit Weightlifting and Coach Burgener’s system.  Mainly, that it has exposed a large amount of CrossFit athletes to Weightlifting Concepts.   Diane also discusses the use of the lats in Weightlifting, not as an Asian thing, but as a control thing.   As a coach who has had experience with many different international perspectives she describes what she believes to be the major differences, mainly that each has a slightly different idea regarding expressing power into a barbell.  In the end they all just have a slightly different take toward solving the same problem.   Diane considers herself the peoples coach.  She loves working with athletes who want to use Weightlifting as their means to achieve fitness not necessarily compete.  Given the choice, between an athlete who is strong verse one who is mobile or moves better she choose movement and mobility, because strength can be built.   The conversation ends with a quick overview of the Rise Program Diane developed, along with Andrea Ager.  Rise (https://www.codyapp.com/plans/rise-strength) is a guided 12 week structured approach meant for someone who has already been lifting but lacks strength, tempo and awareness in the lifts.  Expect to pack some strength on those legs of yours, experience tempo or segmented lifting, and alternative movements toward developing strength.
