Podcasts about Powerlifting

Friend of the Show Rory McKernan joins Sean, Tommy and Lauren to talk about where CrossFit as a business could be heading. There are a lot more questions than answers, but the discussion is worth a listen.

Fresh off his historic performance at USAPL Mega Nationals 2023, Austin Perkins joins Iron Culture to share his story of how in just two short years he exceeded Taylor Atwood's 2021 record performance which many thought would stand for years to come. Austin Perkins totalled 851kg in the under 75kg raw men's division, totalling more than the 82.5kg winner, and importantly 12.5kg more than Taylor Atwood's 2021 record of 838.5kg, which importantly, resulted in Taylor beating Austin by 68.5kg. What's the story behind Austin's rise, and is he the new pound for pound king of raw, tested powerlifting? Join us on Iron Culture for the full story!

Get my 9-Minute Kettlebell & Bodyweight Challenge FREE here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com I'm joined on this episode once again by one of my all-time favorite strength bloggers and the #1 all-around historian of strength training, Jamie Lewis. In this episode we talk about:  Why multi-discipline strength training (i.e. combining barbells, kettlebells, calisthenics, etc.) died out The value of bodyweight training as a discipline (as well as Jamie's new book, which you can get here: The Plague of Strength Bodyweight Blitz – Plague of Strength) The joys (or lack thereof) of living in Downingtown, PA Much, much more Tune in, chill out, and enjoy. On that note, if you like training that: · Gives you more strength than it takes from you  · Improves your stamina and resilience simultaneously · Powers-up every nook, cranny, crevice, and corner of your Soft Machine Then you just might like my 9-Minute Kettlebell and Bodyweight Challenge. As the name indicates, it's just 9 minutes long, and it's designed to be done WITH your current workouts – NOT instead of them. Even cooler: Many find that it actually amplifies their strength in their favorite kettlebell and bodyweight moves, like presses, squats, pullups, and more. And best of all, it's free. How free? I'm talkin' freer than the 4th of July, my friend. Get thee thine own copy here: http://www.9MinuteChallenge.com == Chapters:  (04:55) My “dry” Hebraic wit.

And if you want to get strong, you have to be able to not only make the weights defy gravity, but you also have to be able to make your body defy gravity.” - Aleks Salkin @aleks_salkin (1:01:10) Shout out to Gillian Ward @gillianwardathlete (1:02:35) One pull up, one push up, one dip. (1:03:25) You do need to do cardio, run, and walk. (1:04:05) Get a standing desk. (1:04:25) Calisthenics can be done anywhere. (1:04:45) “I reached my love for calisthenics while I was in jail.” - Jamie Lewis @plagueofstrength (1:05:25) I squatted 500 with no warm-up, just from doing wall sits for three months all day, every day, and pull-ups and pushups.

This week we will discuss Metabolic Systems with our guest,  Francis Fessler.   A certified personal trainer and conditioning coach for the last 25 years, Francis Fessler has built a career by designing programs and coaching professional and amateur athletes, celebrities, business professionals, parents and children to achieve their wellness and fitness goals. Throughout his time in the health and wellness world he evaluated, tried and tested countless ‘diet and nutrition plans' and could not find one that had consistent results for both women and men- so he built one. Francis created F2 Wellness and the highly successful F2 Weight Loss Program for not only his clients, but for anyone looking for a simple, successful and sustainable weight loss program. Have you ever experienced tiredness in your muscles while working out and you couldn't continue exercising after a certain point? Have you wondered what can make you lift heavier weights or run longer than you can today? If you have, understanding the mechanism of the body's energy system can help you find answers to these questions. Three metabolic pathways generate the energy required to perform an exercise: the phosphagen pathway, the glycolytic pathway, and the oxidative pathway, together known as the energy systems. Although your body is always using all three simultaneously, depending on the intensity and duration of the exercise, your body will choose from which pathway it will use the largest percentage of its energy. ​As you may know, all energy used by our bodies is generated from the breakdown of food and drink. The three macronutrients are protein, carbohydrate, and fat. Those are metabolized to create adenosine triphosphate, which is the source of fuel for all body processes, including muscle contraction. ​Unfortunately, the supply of readily available ATP is very limited. It means our bodies constantly have to produce the substance; otherwise, muscle contraction would stop. This re-synthesis of ATP is done by the three energy systems. ​The first 10 to 20 seconds of high-intensity physical activity is fueled by the “ATP-CP,” also known as the phosphagen energy system. Once the available ATP is used up, which occurs in a few seconds, a molecule called phosphocreatine is used to re-form ATP in the muscle. This energy system operates very quickly and can bring the highest output of the three systems. However, it is limited by the availability of creatine phosphate, which is usually consumed within 15 seconds. ​Your body can eventually refill these stores when you rest. This is why this system is most active for athletes who engage in short bouts of very intense, explosive movement, such as a the 50-meter dash or powerlifting. This is also the reason we can sprint at full speed for only a few seconds or lift maximum loads only 1-2 times before requiring rest or a decrease in exercise intensity using another metabolic pathway. ​The second pathway, the glycolytic pathway, is the primary energy system used for exercise lasting from 15 seconds to three minutes. People running an 800-meter event, for example, use this pathway the most. This energy system uses the glucose stored in the muscle, broken down primarily from carbohydrates, to form ATP. The benefit of this pathway is that it kicks in quickly, but it doesn't make very much energy; it can only supply a maximum of about three minutes of energy. This pathway is responsible for the buildup of lactic acid in our muscles, which contributes to fatigue. For exercise lasting longer than three minutes, the oxidative pathway is used. Unlike the others, this energy system requires oxygen. The increase in respiratory rate meets the oxygen demand during physical activity. The oxidative system is slow, but is also the most efficient. Using fat as its primary energy substrate, it produces enough ATP to sustain longer duration activities, but only at submaximal exercise output. It means fat is the predominant fuel source used during low to moderate-intensity activity, like biking or jogging long distances. ​Now you are more knowledgeable on how your body relies on each of these systems working together to meet the energy demands needed for activities of daily living and exercise. The system your body will use primarily depends on the type of activities you mostly engage in. The more you train in that particular type of exercise, the better your body adapts to being able to efficiently use that energy system. ​For example, individuals who have trained in powerlifting can store more phosphocreatine and ATP than a marathon runner or sedentary individual. On the other hand, endurance-trained individuals have better ventilation ability, maximizing oxygen availability for the oxidative pathway. At the end of the day, consistency is key. If you want to excel at a particular type of exercise, just keep doing it and in time, your body will adapt. (Credits: US Army)

Shoulder surgery is one of the most painful and debilitating surgeries that we see people go through. Because of this and the comparable outcomes of physical therapy relative to shoulder surgery, we encourage powerlifters to exhaust all conservative options before having shoulder surgery.   Shoulder surgeries seem to be the most challenging for people to deal with because it affects so many things: Personal hygiene Driving Feeding yourself Putting on and taking off shirts Sleeping Cooking  Grocery shopping  And much more   Contrary to popular belief, barbell training and powerlifting alone do not usually cause most of the “injuries” associated with the shoulder. Things like rotator cuff tears and tendinopathies, labral tears, “impingement,” etc. are all things that affect the general population. So it's more likely that training volume, intensity, and barbell techniques are irritating a shoulder that already has some of this going on. And it's more than possible to reduce symptoms and make a full recovery without surgery.   Dr. Rori Alter and Dr. John Petrizzo discuss common shoulder injuries that affect barbell training and strategies for managing and rehabbing them, including physical therapy, training modifications, medical interventions such as cortisone injections, and finally, surgery.     If you're enjoying our podcast, please leave us a review on Apple or Spotify.   Need help with an injury or programming?
