The Science of Lifting

Such a great series of podcasts which I do occasionally watch on You Tube. Chad and Max bring lifting technique alive and with great guests this podcast is a must for anyone interested in strength training

Lifting shoes and five star reviews - it’s a lifestyle

This podcast is a rare breed in that it is genuinely both informative and entertaining. When listening, I find myself just as likely to be laughing out loud on a crowded train as I am to be taking notes.

The quality of the podcast and the esteem that Max and Chad are held in within strength sport shines through in the standard of guests that they get on the show. People of considerable standing want to be on this podcast, making each episode worth a listen.

Really impressed with the free output from Juggernaut and this is primary amongst it.
