I (Joshua Gibson) interview elite level weightlifters, coaches, and experts in the field of strength and power development.

    Ep. 250: Sex-Based Differences in Training Response | Lauren Colenso-Semple, PhD

    Ep. 250: Sex-Based Differences in Training Response | Lauren Colenso-Semple, PhD

    There are a lot of unspoken, even unrecognized, assumptions when we think about how individuals respond to training. Regarding gender, we think we know how females will adapt to training compared to males, but are these assumptions valid?

    Lauren Colenso-Semple, a PhD in muscle physiology, sits down to chat about her work and the larger body of literature examining how females adapt to training. We also single in on the menstrual cycle, specifically how fluctuations in hormones influence the adaptive response. 

    Enjoy.

    Ep. 249: Better Exercise Sequencing = Better Results? | Chris Taber, PhD

    Ep. 249: Better Exercise Sequencing = Better Results? | Chris Taber, PhD

    The ability to effectively stack together productive training blocks is the hallmark of great programming. It sounds simple, but it can be challenging to do, let alone do well across long stretches of time. 

    In this episode, I sit down with Chris Taber, PhD, to discuss exercise variation, peridization, and the ins and outs of long-term planning.

    Enjoy.

    Ep. 248: Biomechanics Research and Weightlifting Performance | Kristof Kipp, PhD

    Researchers in lab across the world are trying to better understanding the biomechanics of weightlifting. Why isn't that information accessible to coaches and why is it so difficult to translate to practice? 

    In this episode, I sit down with Kristof Kipp, a Doctor PhD and associate professor, to discuss all things related to biomechanics and weightlifting performance. 

    This is one you won't want to miss.

    Ep. 247: Dr. Michael Ray | Tame Pain

    Why isn't science straightforward? 

    In this episode, I sit down with Michael Ray, a Doctor of Chiropractic medicine and assistant professor, to discuss the bridge between pain science and its communication and application. We examine how we know what we know, pain science and physical activity, and academia.

    Ep. 246: Rahmat, Clarking, & Philosophical Weightlifting | Max Aita & Declan Smithies, PhD

    Have you ever wondered what bats, zombies, and epistemology have to do with weightlifting? If so, that's odd... But if you haven't, let's change that. 

    In this episode of the podcast, Max and I sit down with Declan Smithies, who has a PhD in philosophy, to discuss the bridge between the mind and weightlifting. We discuss the blow up with Rahmat in Thailand, skill acquisition, a theory behind choking in competition, and more.

    Enjoy.

Excellent

PW potentiates my brain one episode at a time 😀

Rcsnyder ,

Essential listening

The most thoughtful and far-ranging podcast for Olympic weightlifting. Interviews are insightful and don’t let the philosophical throw you. There is great practical and training info in every show.

Heavily caffeinated lifter ,

Distilling Complex Information Into Bite Sized Pieces

Josh consistently distills complex information down into bite sized pieces and marrying up theory with practice. Huge fan of his work. Keep it up!
