Podcasts about World Weightlifting Championships

Yesterday's Sports is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.EPISODE SUMMARYWhen I first started competing in Olympic Weightlifting in 1981, I wanted to learn about the sport's history and the men who made it great. I read all the lifting magazines I could find, and one of the first lifters I read about was John Davis. Davis' weightlifting career spanned from 1937 to 1956, and his accomplishments are beyond impressive. Davis was born on Jan 12, 1921, in Smithtown, New York, but grew up in Brooklyn. Davis began competing in 1937 in some local meets. One year later, he shocked the weightlifting world by winning the gold medal at the 1938 World Weightlifting Championships in Vienna, Austria, at just 17 years old in the 82.5 kilo/181.8 lbs weight class. At the time, he was the youngest weightlifter ever to win a world title.....You can read the full blog post here.YESTERDAY'S SPORTS BACKGROUNDHost Mark Morthier grew up in New Jersey just across the river from New York City during the 1970s, a great time for sports in the area. He relives great moments from this time and beyond, focusing on football, baseball, basketball, and boxing. You may even see a little Olympic Weightlifting in the mix, as Mark competed for eight years.

In Episode 102, we have an in depth discussion with Fernando Reis, discussing his training and the road to the postponed 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. Fernando talks about when and how he started training in the sport of Olympic Weightlifting, as well as some of the other sports he participated in as a young athlete. We discuss the intricacies of training and competing as a world class level Olympic Weightlifter and how important it was to develop his technical expertise from a very young age. Fernando talks about the equipment he uses and how his technique, training and recovery methods have changed over the years as a world class competitor. His upcoming competitions are the Pan American Weightlifting Championships in the Dominican Republic and the Olympic Games in Tokyo, and talk about his preparations for both those events.Fernando Reis competes as an elite level Olympic Weightlifting at the 105kg+ weight class for Brazil. He won the bronze medal at the 2020 Junior World Weightlifting Championships. This was the first World Championship medal for Brazil at any age group, gender or weight class. He won the gold medal for the 2011 Pan American Games, and has placed 11th and 5th at the 2012 and 2016 Olympic Games respectively. He repeated as the gold medalist for the 2015 Pan American Games and then finished 10th at the 2015 World Weightlifting Championships, breaking the snatch and clean and jerk records for Brazil. In 2018, Reis won the bronze medal in the World Weightlifting Championships – the first medal for Brazil at this event. In 2019, he won his third consecutive Pan American Games gold medal in his weight class.You can find out more information Fernando Reis via the following links:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rreisfernando/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwY3FKhTrz5U3LCKkcOltFAFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/fernando.reis.587268The D&D Fitness Radio podcast is available at the following locations for downloadable audio, including: iTunes – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/d-d-fitness-radio-podcast/id1331724217iHeart Radio – https://www.iheart.com/podcast/dd-fitness-radio-28797988/Spreaker.com – https://www.spreaker.com/show/d-and-d-fitness-radios-showSpotify – https://open.spotify.com/show/5Py2SSPA4mntNwYRm0OpriYou can reach both Don and Derek at the following locations: Don Saladino: http://www.DonSaladino.com Twitter and Instagram - @DonSaladino YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/donsaladino Derek M.

When I write a poem, I meditate. Every time that I work with a poem, I'm in a mindful state. In a class I was teaching, a woman told me she didn't have thirty minutes to exercise every day because she had two jobs. When I was driving home I was thinking how could a person not have thirty minutes in a day to create this micro progressive system so they could get better in life. So I came home, went to my meditation room for four hours and then wrote a poem. I went back to the class and read the poem and the poem was very moving to everyone. The women said that the poem moved her. (Jerzy shares the poem later in the episode). Thoughts on Breathing I created singularity of the brain within one repetition and there are six things that happen with one repetition. Inhale and then holding the breath, flexing the seven body parts, lifting, stretch, return, and exit.  All six things repeat, and those six things create the mantra and that singularity and mindfulness that happens during this time creates thirteen minutes of exercise system when they exercise that way. They also feel like they meditate. So they are completely mindful during the thirty minutes. Suggested Resources Book: Strength in Stillness: The Power of Transcendental Meditation by Bob Roth Book: The Happy Body: The Simple Science of Nutrition, Exercise, and Relaxation by Jerzy Gregorek App: n/aBullying Story I was one of the shorter boys and of course the communism was there too, and communism was tough. When you are thirteen, you sense what parents are going through. They were persecuted and they have problems so you feel it. When I was around thirteen I was bullied, badly. I had to walk to the school, not a long walk, maybe a quarter of a mile. During this walk I would be caught by boys to get money, and they would hold me upside down by the ankles and shake me to get money from me. There was constant bullying.  Final Words of Advice I think that we need to focus on goodness, the goodness in every way and fight for it. The goodness is getting more flexible or stronger or more mindful. The goodness is be kind in the world. The goodness is to love people as they are and give them the science of what to do to get better. Goodness is to choose hard choices verses easy choices in life to create micro progressive systems. Goodness is an amazing thing because goodness also creates self-control and self-discipline, delayed gratification and it is a sign of virtues. I think the stoics were right that virtues are more important than almost anything that we do in life.  Related Episodes 388 Total Heart Health With Renowned Physician-Scientist Dr. Robert H.

Jerzy Gregorek has overcome incredible odds to escape from political troubles and alcoholism before coming to America and dedicating his talent in pursuit of changing lives. Through Olympic weightlifting success and implementing these fitness techniques in his own programme, he’s improving the mindset of clients and increasing both their physical ability and their happiness.  Today, this approach has earned him the attention of the most successful people in the world from his home in Silicon Valley. He’s also appeared on podcasts and in books by entrepreneur Tim Ferriss, and he’s still going strong over 60 years old. Watch the full episode on YouTube  In 1986, Jerzy Gregorek left Poland, together with his wife, as political refugees. Since then, they have both won numerous World Weightlifting Championships, founded the UCLA weightlifting team and coached and transformed hundreds of people. Developing The Happy Body programme in response to their clients wanting to remain youthful, Jerzy is in great shape at 64 years old. This episode of the Escape Your Limits podcast is a history of weightlifting and bodybuilding, personal growth, rolled into improving your mindset regardless of what you’re faced with. The Happy Body programme was created by Jerzy and Aniela Gregorek. They explain its purpose below… “The most potentially damaging myth about exercise is that its main purpose is to burn calories. This eliminates any joy associated with the activity, making it obsessive and stressful. In addition to discouraging people from actually exercising, this myth also stifles improvement. “The Happy Body returns joy to the practice of exercise, helping to infuse your body with a sense of dignity. You cannot fall in love with burning calories but you CAN fall in love with exercise, the RIGHT KIND of exercise, properly executed. “Exercise should relieve the stress that is accumulated on a daily basis, rather than add to it. The approach is one of mindfulness, so the mind is focused at any given moment on what the body is doing.”   Episode highlights -  The importance of having a space to get away from your day-to-day stresses. How your mindset is key to weight loss or life changes. You have to enjoy living the life of someone that weighs 120lbs if you want to weigh 120lbs. If you lose weight but still have the mindset of someone that weighs 160lbs, you’ll be unhappy and revert back. Why you need to find ways of bringing joy to exercise and stop it being all about calorie burn, whether that’s for yourself, clients or members. How business can build from simple working relationships and favours through microprogressions and developments. Why you shouldn’t ever hire a trainer that’s younger than you, as they won’t understand what you’re going through. How recovery is made up of transitions built up over years, and why it’s never a straightforward story whether it’s weight loss, personal growth, alcoholism or anything else. How to master self control and your own reward system, and why your need for instant gratification can affect so many other aspects of your life. Why delayed gratification is the gift of life, and how that’s different from purely concentrating on future success.    Join Matthew Januszek in conversation with Jerzy Gregorek…

Since Gregor (of ATG fame) and I are currently in Ashgabat, Turkmenistan to help cover the 2018 World Weightlifting Championships he thought it would be fun to do a very informal podcast recording of us chatting at the end of the day. The idea was borne of the fact that this is generally what happens at the end of the day for any competition: you sit around and talk about weightlifting, despite having just spent the past 10-12 hours watching/talking about weightlifting. Who doesn't want more weightlifting?! So enjoy, if you like, 40-ish minutes of us, unedited, chatting about weightlifting, the city, the venue, the training hall, and anything else that comes to mind. Hopefully there will be more to come! https://the2doctors.files.wordpress.com/2018/11/worlds-2018-d01.mp3 

The 2018 World Weightlifting Championships is upon us! The guys give a preview of the WWC and talk about Ilya Ilyin bowing out of competition. Also the guys talk about the hypocrisy of the Australian weightlifting federation, as well as question the legitimacy of the CrossFit Level 2 certification.

Today we are joined by Dr. Loren Bertocci, a biochemist and one of the foremost experts in mitochondrial research as well as the Director of Science at Pangea Biomedical, a company he founded to make high quality supplements for the Masters athlete. He holds an AB in Human Biology from Stanford, a PhD in Physiology from Washington State, and a post-doctoral fellowship in Advanced Radiological Physics from University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. His special area of expertise is the biochemistry of skeletal muscle and exercise, where he conducts research to identify and characterize atomic-level triggers for mitochondrial biogenesis.   Dr. Bertocci is also an accomplished weightlifter, having won a Bronze Medal in Olympic Weightlifting at the 2015 Pan Am Masters Championships and currently training to compete at the World Weightlifting Championships in the 65+ category. He also has an athletic background in swimming, water polo, triathlon and track.   Proper training, nutrition, and recovery are the cornerstones of progress, but supplements can help optimize your gains, especially if you are an athlete. The Masters population has special supplemental needs, as various metabolic and muscle building processes begin to slow with age. Dr. Bertocci helps us understand the essential supplements for the "athlete of aging."   Here is some additional information about the supplements mentioned in the show by Dr. Bertocci:   Tell us about your company. I started and own Pangea Biomedical. Its purpose is to produce dietary supplements with a product line targeted at active adults aged 40+. We currently have one product called Origins. Its primary characteristics and features include: Some limited anti-inflammatory effects; Some limited effect at attenuating post-exercise muscle damage; Stimulation of the growth of new mitochondria. Most people notice this as a “gee, doing x for this long a duration is easier than it used to be” kind of effect; Generalized anti-aging; Its effects are noticed proportional to two things; (1) the age of the person taking it and (2) the training intensity of the person taking it.   We have two other complimentary products ready to release once we get Origins up to enough profitability to be able to launch these next two products.   Do you recommend masters supplement with vitamins? Minerals? Things to look for, stay away from.   I am a strong supporter of dietary supplements for masters-aged athletes. There are three major reasons for this: Market pressures on modern agriculture have resulted in crops with lower levels of minerals, complex oils, and proteins than in ages past. Thus, regardless of how good your diet might be, it is increasingly difficult to have all you need in your diet; With aging comes an unavoidable reduction in daily metabolic output. In order to eat enough even very good foods to satisfy your real mineral/oil/protein needs, your caloric input would be so large that you would likely gain weight; Also with aging comes some decreasing capacity to absorb some of the complex molecules you do actually ingest.   The vitamins and minerals that, for most masters-aged athletes, might be most in need of supplementation are: Vitamin C (ascorbate) because of its role in the ascorbate-glutathione oxidation- reduction cycle; Selenium (the mineral in the center of glutathione); Calcium and phosphorus (bone minerals); Zinc (an important metal ion in the middle of some important metabolic enzymes); Vitamin D (for anyone who lives a largely indoor lifestyle).   My current dietary regime is representative of what I would recommend for any active masters athlete: An “age-specific” multi-vitamin (I happen to take Centrum Silver); Origins with a dose of 4 capsules 2x daily; An additional 2,000U of vitamin D if you are not normally exposed to a lot of sunlight.   Other: There is an enormous amount of data supporting the use of creatine as a supplement. I personally do not take it because I think my daily protein consumption is sufficiently high that I already consume plenty of its amino-acid precursors. I mention this not only to support it as possibly useful but also to warn against contamination by β-quanadino- propionic acid (aka β-GPA). This molecule is a competitive inhibitor of creatine kinase, the very enzyme required to convert phosphocreatine to free creatine and in the process make ATP. It is not at all uncommon to find β–GPA in the creatine you can purchase.     What supplements do you recommend based on good science? Obviously creatine – this is addressed above. Beyond that, the following molecules are supported by the largest number of publications in top-level journals (in no particular order): Resveratrol – this is the closest thing to a magic molecule there is. Its value was originally elucidated as a result of the famous French Wine Paradox study. Its health benefits are numerous; Quercetin – this is almost as effective as resveratrol; Pyrroloquinoline quinone (aka PQQ); Pterostilbene – a naturally occurring derivative of resveratrol with similarly broad beneficial effects; Ubiquinol – essential but for a somewhat more specific audience – those of us who take statins for hypercholesterolemia; Acetyl-L-carnitine;   Others that might be useful: BCAAs – leucine is required for activated mTOR gene to begin transcription, so an adequate amount of leucine in the diet will allow for the strength training adaptation to proceed maximally. All three of them can lead to the production of succinyl-CoA to anaplerose the citric acid cycle. This will have the effect of allowing acute responses to endurance-type exercise to (also) proceed maximally; HMB – this is a product of leucine catabolism and has been implicated in several pathways related to muscle protein synthesis. However, insofar as it is a product of leucine catabolism, it is not clear to me that it has any additional value if you already have enough leucine; A combination of curcumin and black pepper extract – there is a lot of (at least) decent evidence that this combination is an effective anti-inflammatory agent.   What do think about protein intake and the older athlete? I would say this is a minimum. I consume at least 2g protein per day per lb body weight. Aside from the negatives resulting from possible protein-related fat load, there is no real reason to limit this. If you consume more than you need, you merely deaminate the amino acids and use the carbon skeleton (directly) as a CHO or indirectly to store the C-C bonds as fat.   Should Masters stay away from many supplements? Unfounded claims etc. wasted money and junk?   Generally speaking, there is not much benefit to consuming anything other than what we have addressed already. For the most part, all you do with most supplements is functionally make expensive urine.   Aside from the waste of making expensive urine, there are several factors to consider as you stroll down the aisles at your neighborhood (or online) supplement store:   In most cases, there is no guarantee that the ingredients on the label actually provide nutritional value. In most cases, the people making these kinds of ingredient decisions are not sufficiently knowledgeable about the underlying science for their ingredient decisions to be trusted. The only way to avoid this problem is to assess the qualifications of the scientist(s) making the ingredient decisions. For most non- scientists, this is difficult if not impossible; There is no guarantee that what is on the label is actually in the container. Currently, in the USA, nutritional supplements are not subject any regulatory oversight; Similarly, and for the same reason(s), even if what is on the label is actually in the container, there is no guarantee that there are no possibly harmful and/or illegal contaminants; The only way to avoid the latter two problems is to only consume products with some sort of external certifications. The three most common certification processes are: USP – a pharmaceutical product produced by a company the follows the “U.S. Pharmacopoeia” standards set up by the FDA. Mostly, this is designed to ensure efficacy in comparison to existing and similar drugs. It does not apply to nutritional supplements. This is the kind of certification common to things like prescription drugs; GMP – a product produced by a company that follows the “Good Manufacturing Practices” set up by the FDA. Mostly, this is designed to make sure that the end product is not contaminated. This is the kind of certification common to things like multi-vitamins; BSCG – a product produced by a company that subjects its products to testing by the Banned Substance Control Group. A BSCG certification means the product has exactly what is on the label (or if proprietary, what it is supposed to have), does NOT have what is NOT on the label, and (perhaps most importantly) contains nothing that would trigger a positive USADA test. It is this certification that should be considered to be the “gold standard” for any nutritional supplement you consume. Unfortunately, the vast majority of nutritional supplements are not BSCG certified.   How can people get in contact with you?

Chad and Max recap the 2017 World Weightlifting Championships that just concluded in Anaheim, CA.

Welcome to Flex Your Heart Radio! This podcast is about body, fat and gender positivity, fitness, feminism, recovery, risk, and crushing it at life.  On this episode, we talk to Kulsoom Abdullah of Lifting Covered! Kulsoom Abdullah is a Pakistani-American competitive Olympic Weightlifter and was Crossfit Level I certified.  She attended the University of Central Florida and received her doctorate in electrical/computer engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology.     Her website, LiftingCovered.com and Facebook page documents her experiences weightlifting in an effort to compete at U.S. national competitions.  She advocated to compete in clothing that adheres to religious codes, opening the door for women from cultures around the world to compete and move beyond preconceived notions of gender, race, and religion.  Her athletic feats and determination culminated in an invitation to deliver remarks following Secretary of State Hillary Clinton at the U.S. State Department’s Eid ul Fitr reception 2011.  She represented Pakistan as the first female at the international level to compete wearing hijab at the 2011 World Weightlifting Championships.  She resides in Atlanta, GA and is currently taking a break from major competitions but continues to train.  She continues the cycle of empowerment by helping others and supporting relevant causes. In 2014 she was one of four women in The Pakistan Four short documentary - redefining what it means to be a Pakistani Muslim female, one of the recipients of the Georgia Influential Muslim Award and spoke on a panel at the Religion Newswriters Association.  In 2015, she was also presented in a 2015 calendar of female South Asian American role models, “Saris to Suits Empowered”, and she is on Team Shirzanan  (Persian for "female heroes") as a spokesperson and role model.  The team recently participated at RAGBRAI 2015 (The Register’s Annual Bike Ride Across Iowa) to celebrate our Right to Ride. Currently, she works for ADP as a data scientist.    In this podcast we discuss: - What it's like to go into the male dominated space of weightlifting and take up space as a woman - Effective ways to lobby monolithic governing bodies - Why she felt it was so important for those who want to weightlift competitively without the standard singlet uniform - How she modifies her lifting to continue training during Ramadan - Busting through stereotypes  and so much more!   ---   You can find Kulsoom on her website and Facebook Page, on twitter, and on Instagram.    --- A very special thank you to our 10$ and 25$ level Patreon Patrons: Jordan Faulds, Andi Olsen, Aja Vines, Bianca Phillips, Sky Chari and Kelly Knight!

It's become especially popular among my friends in Silicon Valley and across the country because it provides the same high-end financial advice that the best private wealth managers deliver to the ultra wealthy -- but for any account size, at a fraction of the cost. Wealthfront monitors your portfolio every day across more than a dozen asset classes to find opportunities for rebalancing and harvesting tax losses, and now manages more than $5B in assets. Unlike old-fashioned private wealth managers, Wealthfront is powered by innovative technology, making it the most tax-efficient, low-cost, hassle-free way to invest. Go to wealthfront.com/tim to take the risk assessment quiz, which only takes 2-5 minutes, and it'll show you -- for free -- exactly the portfolio it would recommend. If you want to just take the advice and do it yourself, you can. Or, as I would, you can set it and forget it. Well worth a few minutes: wealthfront.com/tim.
