If you're an advanced weightlifter or someone new to the sport, a 100kg/70kg snatch will always be a meaningful lift. Some people snatch that in a few months, some in a few years, and some will never touch those weights. Why do we see such a variation in abilities? For us, this is an important question to answer. Most people will never be able to load those milestone weights onto the bar. Here's how we help them get there.

In this episode we take you back to that magical time by transposing our most important questions from that era like: “who would in a fight, Superman or Godzilla?” or “Could a silverback defeat a grizzly bear?” and the important follow up “what if they had swords?”, onto strength sports. Today we ask, who are the strongest: Powerlifters, Weightlifters, or Strongmen/women? We discuss what ways we could legitimately test strength across disciplines to answer this question and each guests “picks a character” as a champion of their sport in this thought experiment. To tackle these important questions the guests are thankful to be joined by returning guests and strength aficionados, Alan Thrall, Jonnie Candito and Max Aita. Strap up your Velcro’s, hop on the school bus, grab your bag lunch from mom and get ready to argue during recess in this episode of iron culture!

Weightlifting is the filet Mignon to the ground chuck of powerlifting and bodybuilding, the First Class to our coach seats on the Iron Game Express. Most people can lift weights, but weightlifting requires power, range of motion, and coordination that squatting or curling in the squat rack simply can’t compare to. In this episode of Iron Culture, we’re joined by Amy and Greg Everett of Catalyst Athletics, former champions in American Weightlifting, and now some of the most prominent coaches and content creators in the sport. Also, Max Aita returns, also a prominent coach working with Juggernaut Training Systems, who competed at a high level in both weightlifting and powerlifting. In this episode of Iron Culture, we explore the unique aspects, history, athletic demands, experience, and training philosophies of weightlifting, and compare and contrast them with the rest of the iron game.

For this weeks Strength Chat, I had the absolute pleasure of having the opportunity to speak with a weightlifting and powerlifting coach with over two decades of experience, having coached multiple national and world record holders, Max Aita. To be able to talk all things strength training with Max was awesome. With a foot in both the weightlifting and powerlifting camps, it was great to hear his thoughts on the similarities and differences, as well as what both sports could learn from each other. A really interesting chat with a great coach.

If you’re a long time listener of Iron Culture, you’ve been exposed to calisthenics, CrossFit, powerlifting, bodybuilding, strongman/woman, and more! Maybe, just maybe, it’s influenced you to pursue multiple avenues of strength? If so, you might have had some head-scratching moments or found yourself struggling to juggle multiple goals simultaneously. In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Stefi Cohen and Max Aita, impressive multi-sport strength athletes in their own right, who have made careers out of helping lifters make simultaneous progress in multiple disciplines of strength. Join us in today’s discussion as we learn how that balancing act is performed.

Think you're strong?  FALSE.  Meet Meghan Scanlon, a powerhouse woman who can squat 3 times her bodyweight, and her quads make Chad Wesley Smith's look like he was born in a hen's house. Supertotal is a strength sport that combines bench, squat, deadlift and snatch, clean & jerk. Meghan was an iron-woman athlete who switched to strength sports.  She started in the sport of powerlifting, where she broke 5 world records and 12 American records, won a national championship and placed second overall at worlds.  A year and a half ago Chad Wesley Smith approached her to see if she wanted to train under Max Aita.  This is when Meghan began dabbling in weightlifting to start her Supertotal career. Meghan shares with us the mindset it takes to be at the top as a Supertotal athlete. She discusses what training is like between two intense sport, and how she manages transitioning from weightlifting to powerlifting at The Arnold Classic, mentally and physically.

To be a competitive athlete, choosing your weightlifting coach is critical. You would like to improve your strength and conditioning and learn the proper lifting techniques from a skilled coach who fully understands the athletic experience. A good coach is someone who has a competitive experience and a genuine understanding of weightlifting training programming.  In today's episode of RX'D Radio, we're on the show with weightlifting coach Zack Telander to talk in detail about the world of weightlifting coaching as a profession. He also shares how he uses YouTube as a platform to provide informative content and to reach a wider audience. If you want to level up your training programming, don't forget to subscribe and tune in to RX'D Radio for the detailed discussion! About Our Guest Zack Telander is an outstanding coach in weightlifting, CrossFit, and to multiple sports at Texas A&M University and Northwestern University. Zack has a USAW-Level 2 coaching certification and is a weightlifting coach at Juggernaut Training Systems and Texas A&M. How Should Weightlifting Programming Look Like   Getting Into Weightlifting Zack grew up as an athlete in a very athletic home. Playing high school football drew him to the weight room. After graduating from the University of Vermont, he went to a CrossFit gym, and there he was inspired to be a coach. After he got his level one in CrossFit, he started to advance. In 2014, he started training with one of the coaches and did his first weightlifting meet. He eventually got his USAW-Level One and got a full-time job as a CrossFit coach. As a CrossFit coach, he was able to teach non-athletic people the "snatch, and the clean and jerk" on a high volume. The golden standard for getting into strength and conditioning is passing the Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) exam. After passing the CSCS exam, he got an internship at Northwestern University and Texas A&M University. When he got into College Station, he started competing again on weightlifting and started personal training for profit. Using YouTube as a Platform In 2016, he started getting into YouTube. After a while, he started making and uploading CrossFit videos. After releasing his videos, a guy commented that there's no story in his content.  For Zack, he wanted to deliver his expertise and combat issues on the CrossFit community. He started writing and doing voice overs to try and give solutions to these problems. From 1,000 views, he has now reached almost 100,000 subscribers. Weightlifting Coaching as a Career He does remote coaching and coaching in-person. Physical coaching is essential for development. Actual interaction is critical in being a coach. Coaches have to know how to interact and how to calm people down. In terms of ROI, weightlifting coaching as a profession is always going to be relatively low. Most weightlifting coaches do it out of passion, but they have other sources of income. Remote Coaching and RPE You can get a lot stronger with low percentage squats. It's all about positioning and speed. Rate of perceived exertion or RPE is the rating on how hard you work. It's hard to perform a good rate with dynamic movements such as snatch, clean and jerk. Max Aita, the Head of Juggernaut Training Systems Weightlifting Coach, and Zack's mentor invented a scale for RPE. Zack, on the other hand, gives ranges with the eye. By following those rules, they can go as heavy or as light as they want. He uses these techniques to breed a culture in the gym and instill to people that he coaches. Ideal Movement The only real prescription for training is an ideal movement. Overload movements like poles or squats are heavier and more fatiguing than clean and jerk or snatch. There are many tricks you can do if your lifter is fatigued and is not feeling good instead of just putting in arbitrary percentages. When you introduce novelty, the person just forgets that they're lifting heavy. Periodization Models Block periodization: Working on one aspect of training; this can be (1) muscle building, (2) muscular endurance, and (3) strength. Concurrent periodization: Here, you're working on all three aspects, but you undulate the amount of intensity and load in each phase. Daily undulating periodization: If you stress the body, it needs time to recover. The real trick of programming is understanding how you can emotionally tap into the athlete without scaring them. Gauging System To gauge an athlete's performance, he watches them every day. The system is feedback; communicate consistently to athletes as a coach. Reporting fatigue is very hard for athletes, and it takes years of training to understand how to accurately and efficiently assess your own fatigue. You have to determine how many days you're going to implement stressors (e.g., very high intensities clean and jerk). As a coach, you have to see all the factors and what's happening and make the right adjustments unique to each athlete. Outlook on Programming Focus on the quality of the execution as the end goal. As an athlete, you have to take responsibility on how to regulate and make adjustments for yourself. You also have to be interested in experimenting, changing, and holding yourself accountable. Your coach is just there to guide you through all that. Zack works mostly with college students, and he realized they don't really understand a lot of these concepts. It is essential to be interested in the sport enough to learn about the simplest to the most complex terminologies. If athletes understand what they're getting into, they will not end up quitting.

Today’s episode features Max Aita, head coach of Team Juggernaut weightlifting. Max has been involved in the sports of Weightlifting and Powerlifting as a coach and athlete for the better part of 2 decades.  Having trained under legendary coaches Ivan Abadjiev and Steve Gough for weightlifting and alongside the likes of Mark Bell for powerlifting, Max’s experience and knowledge is extensive. Max is a masterful coach who has studied Soviet training systems extensively, and has coached National Record holders in Weightlifting (such as Alyssa Ritchey who recently set the US record in the 49kg category in Olympic weightlifting) as well as All Time world record holders in Powerlifting. One of the things that I’ve always enjoyed is chatting training with coaches of various disciplines, in general physical preparation, track and field, baseball, swimming, and in this case, Olympic weightlifting.   A quote I like is “not being able to read the label while you are inside the bottle”, and by that I feel that by not talking with coaches processes outside our own particular field, we lose insights our own field may not have considered due to contextual restrictions and habituation.  By talking to expert coaches of all individual sport disciplines, we can better understand the global training process and Max is an incredible coach we can all learn from, regardless of our corner of the field. Although many coaches would look at a chat regarding Olympic lifting in terms of potential transfer to non-strength sport athletics (we do talk about this on the first 1/3 of the show), this episode is really about Max’s training process for Olympic weightlifters, his periodization, and how he approaches special and maximal strength.  For those familiar with this podcast, and/or, Soviet training methods, the Bondarchuk influence on Max’s system is significant, and concepts from Max’s training organization can be carried over to any sport process. On today’s episode, Max talks about Olympic lifting in context of training non-strength sport athletes, the use of the Olympic lifts (and any other non-primary sport movement) as a tool, what Max has learned from the Bulgarians and beyond, as well as the nuts and bolts of his own training design and sequencing. This podcast was recorded in person at Max’s Gym in Emeryville, California. Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more. Key Points Max’s description of the Bulgarian system The hardest training time period Max has gone through How Max would approach utilizing (or not utilizing) the Olympic lifts in a non-strength sport environment Exercise sequencing and selection for Olympic lifting and subsequent principles for training any athletes What Max has learned from training with the Bulgarians and what his training looks like currently What Max’s periodization for his Olympic lifting program looks like Max’s deconstruction and reconstruction of the Bulgarian system into his own training process The importance of rest and recovery in Max’s system Max’s thoughts on the squat-weight bias in the Western training world relative to other sport skills View episode #149 transcripts “Coaches biggest problems is that they construct a framework around their thinking, and then try to fit situations into their framework” “You (some elite athletes particularly) can get away with an enormous amount of unproductive work” “(In the aftermath of Bulgarian style weight training) Now my perspective is how can I do less, how can I maximize training to be the most effective it can possibly be” “Some people are trying to fix things all the time, but they are not even in the right (athletic) position” “If you just try to pull the bar as high as you can or go as heavy as possible,

Quick little Q&A from Max and Zack

Tangible steps to becoming a weightlifting coach.

In this episode we address the questions, "How important is maximal strength and how should we implement maximal strength training in a (olympic) weightlifting setting?"

Changing up the format here as Max and I will be talking about specific topics and either disagreeing with or defending certain ideas . Let us both know if you like the format as we will try to be back next week with a new topic!
