Ep. 252: Beyond the Sets & Reps | Newton Cheng, Director of Health + Performance at Google
As coaches, sport scientists, and athletes, we love intellectualizing our sport. There is an attempt to understand as much as possible so we can prescribe training to maximize performance. Behind all of this, the person carrying out this training can get lost amidst a myriad labels.
In this episode, I sit down with Newton Cheng, National champion powerlifter and the director of performance and health at Google, to discuss his life's journey. This journey involves burnout, anxiety and depressive symptoms, and understanding who he is and what he values. After struggling during the start of the pandemic, he turned his life around by doing deep work, finding his values, and pursuing them.
This show is dedicated to the people who compete, coach, and study the sport, but are much more than that.

Ep. 251: Why We Miss Lifts and Applied Biomechanics | Wanda Sihanath
There are many questions coaches and athletes knowingly (or unknowingly) want the answers to. We have research at our fingertips that may be able to inform our coaching practice, but how do we translate it?
In this episode, I sit down with Wanda Sihanath, a PhD student studying under Dr. Kristof Kipp at Marquette, to discuss why weightlifters miss jerks and how to apply the biomechanical research available.
This is one you won't want to miss.

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
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.

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.
Enjoy.

Customer Reviews
Excellent
PW potentiates my brain one episode at a time 😀
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.
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!
