For this week's Strength Chat it was a pleasure to be joined by strength and conditioning coach and writer, having worked with Elitefts, Breaking Muscle, and Kabuki Strength, Daniel DeBrocke. There can be a lot of variables that can influence someone's progress.

For this week's Strength Chat I was joined by coach, athlete, and mentor, Nick Gloff. I was lucky enough to catch Nick's presentation at the Kabuki Education Week and wanted to continue the conversation of the topics he covered. When it comes to hypertrophy, there is a lot of information on the training to build muscle, not necessarily how to keep that muscle. Therefore, in this episode, we chatted about how to create long lasting hypertrophy.

In this week's episode I was joined by Physical Therapist and the Owner of Fitness Pain Free, Dan Pope.

In this weeks Strength Chat, I was joined by registered dietitian, personal trainer, and competitive powerlifter, Dan Feldman. As more people start to participate in strength sports and training, it’s only natural that they look at information on nutrition as well.

I last spoke to this guy back in episode 57 and 101, which were really popular episodes. This week I caught up with the one and only, Jordan Syatt.

With that in mind, in this episode, we chatted about why working out isn’t all about burning calories, why being 100% all the time isn’t sustainable, and how to adjust your goals.

In this week’s episode, I was joined by competitive powerlifter, martial artist and the Assistant Head Coach at Kabuki Strength, Kyle Young. With experience of competing in two sports that are at opposite ends of the spectrum, and traditionally conflicting training styles, it was interesting to speak to Kyle about the lessons he has learnt from both powerlifting and combat sports. Therefore, in this episode, we chatted about how they can complement one another and clash, as well as how competing in both has impacted Kyles’s coaching and philosophy on training.

I’ve spoken to this guy twice before on the podcast back in episodes 82 and 124, in addition to keeping in touch in between as well. I always enjoy catching up with him and I always learn a lot whenever we speak, and this episode was no different. In this episode I was joined by the one and only Joel Proskewitz. As one of the worlds leading lower back specialists, the last year has been a challenge for Joel with his own experience of dealing with lower back pain and his journey through diagnosis to the operations and rehab.

For this weeks Strength Chat, I spoke with competitive powerlifter and the Founder and CEO of My Strength Book, Mike MacDonald. With powerlifting becoming more and more popular, the level of professionalism is also starting to increase. It makes sense then that the systems coaches and lifters use need to improve and advance as well. What Mike has created with My Strength Book has done just that.

In this week’s episode, I caught with a silver medallist from this year’s European Championships, as well as now holding all three British records in her weight class, Sarah Davies. With all the obstacles that have been thrown in Sarah’s way over the last year or so, and for her to then go and smash her first competition back on the international stage, was great to see.

In this week’s episode I was joined by bodybuilder, powerlifter and coach, Brian Minor. I was lucky enough to attend Brian’s webinar at the Kabuki Education Week on powerbuilding which provided some great content and information on a topic that can sometimes be misunderstood by lifters and coaches.

I’ve been lucky enough to have this guy as a guest on Strength Chat before back in episodes 42 and 99, so I was really pleased to catch up with him in this week’s episode. Today I was joined by probably one of the coolest guys in the world of strength, Eric Helms. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, you can’t help but learn something whenever you listen to Eric speak.

To have this guy as a guest for this weeks Strength Chat episode was awesome. For this episode, I was joined by a coach passionate about helping people move without limitations who has trained dozens of first round draft picks across all the major US sports and a National Championship winning baseball team, Conor Harris. I really enjoyed speaking with Conor. How he puts his information and content across is so useful and allows you to understand some concepts that at first can seem quite confusing. He also challenges traditional thought processes to help you improve your training and performance. Therefore, in this episode, we chatted about his eBook Bulletproof Powerlifting and additions you can add to your training for longevity and potential injury prevention.

In this week’s Strength Chat I got the opportunity to speak with a coach and competitive powerlifter, with 2x British and Commonwealth titles to her name, Sophia Ellis.

She has also been a great ambassador for building people’s confidence in getting involved in strength training and powerlifting. Therefore, in this episode, we chatted about body image, training to beat yourself up and what does healthy look like.

He has so much knowledge and experience, and some great stories, which just adds to any conversation you have with him.

In this week’s episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with an athlete and coach who has competed in both powerlifting and weightlifting, and is now a super mum, Meg Scanlon.

This guy was one of my first ever guests on Strength Chat way back in episode 25, so to have the opportunity to catch up and speak with him again was awesome! In this week’s episode I spoke with powerlifter, coach and all-round good guy, Bryce Lewis. As such a successful athlete and coach Bryce’s insight and knowledge surrounding lifting is second to none. However, he has also shown how to balance life and lifting. Therefore, in this episode, we chatted about failure and the pros and cons of going off programme.

In this week’s Strength Chat I had the pleasure of speaking with an applied sports scientist with over 25 years’ experience in high performance, as well as being involved in over 250 peer reviewed published articles, Tim Gabbett. To have the opportunity to speak to someone of Tim’s knowledge and experience was awesome.

For this weeks Strength Chat, I spoke with a powerlifting coach working with beginners to elite level lifters as well as delivering seminars and educational content for fitness professionals, Will Berkman. The content and information that Will produces is so insightful and makes you think about how you can practically improve your training and performance. I think sometimes lifters can get lost and confused in what they need to do to improve, rather than thinking logically and not over complicating things. This is where, I think, Will comes into his own as coach as you can see by the progress and results, he gets with his lifters. Therefore, in this episode, we chatted about developing a system and how lifters can make progress when they look like they’ve fallen into a habit of coasting.

In this week’s episode I got the opportunity to sit down and chat with the Founder and Head Coach of AMP Athletic, Steve Mellor and Matt Curley. It’s safe to say that the last year or so has not been the best for the fitness industry with gyms having to close for large periods of the time. AMP Athletic has been no different. However, due to the service and care that they put into their work, they have adapted to the restrictions placed on them due to COVID to still maintain their high standards for their members. Therefore, in this episode, we chatted about how the gym has coped with closures due to COVID and the transition into online coaching, as well as the impact having a strong culture and community has had in keeping members consistent and engaged. We also touched on the specialist area of AMP Athletic with their work with physios and helping their members move better and pain free.

What an episode to kick off 2021! In this week’s episode, I had the opportunity to speak with a coach and competitive bodybuilder, having been involved in various published peer reviewed literature and articles, Scott Stevenson. With so much experience from the academic environment, as well as in the gym itself, it was great to chat about all things training with Scott. He had some great analogies and thoughts on topics that can sometimes seem confusing to people. Therefore, in this episode, we covered periodising programming for muscle building and how do you address areas for improvement, as well as tracking progress.

He has so much experience and knowledge, as well as a great mind for looking to improve and advance the field of strength training. Therefore, in this episode, we chatted about the difference between full power meets and exhibition lifting, is there such a thing as being in your prime as a lifter, and challenging movement patterns to further increase your strength.

As nutrition can be a bit of minefield at times for some people, the work that Eric does with Stronger by Science in producing blogs and podcasts, it really does provide more easily digestible information that people can use. This can be even more so when you start to look at protein powders and nutrition surrounding training. Therefore, in this episode, we chatted about whether all protein powders are created equal, best practises of using protein powders and their effect on performance.

In this episode of Strength Chat, I got the opportunity to speak with the founder of Revival Strength, Marcus Filly. From speaking with Marcus, it was clear that he is passionate about helping people achieve their health and fitness goals and doing so in a way that they feel and look better in a sustainable way. Too often you can see people opting for the easier or quicker option, but never actually getting closer to achieving their goals. Therefore, in this episode we chatted about what functional training is, and can that differ person to person, as well as getting outside of your comfort zone and the fear of failure.

For this weeks Strength Chat, it was awesome to have this guy as a guest. In this episode I was joined by a chiropractor, strength and conditioning coach, powerlifter, and the Co-Founder of Pre-Script, the one and only Dr. Jordan Shallow. I have followed the content that Jordan produces for some time now, whether that be from articles he has posted, the podcast he runs, or the content he shares on social media. He’s a really smart guy and has definitely made me think a lot more about how I coach the clients I work with. Therefore, in this episode, we chatted about what does optimal look like, and whether chasing optimal can be a hindrance, as well as the importance of being adaptable.

It was a real pleasure to have this guy as a guest on Strength Chat. For this week’s episode, I spoke with a strength and conditioning coach, working with some of the worlds most elite combat athletes, Dr. Corey Peacock. With a background in sports science, and now working in combat sports where sports science is still finding its feet, it was a great conversation about the behind the scenes of working with elite combat athletes. We covered balancing science and the sometimes old school methods of combat sports, using data and how to manage an elite combat sport athlete.

It was a real pleasure to have this guy on this weeks Strength Chat. In this week’s episode, I had the opportunity to speak with sports scientist, personal trainer, sports massage therapist and nutritionist. He’s worked with Hollywood A listers, world champions and European royalty. Today I was joined by Luke Worthington. With the influence of social media, a lot of people can fall into the trap of quick fixes and getting results fast from seeing snippets of celebrity workouts and transformations. With the variety of clients Luke has worked with, and his background in education and coaching, it was interesting to get an insight into the behind the scenes of these celebrity transformations. Therefore, in this episode, we myth busted the misleading information for celebrity transformations that may mislead the general population, as well as trying to define what healthy means.

I really enjoyed hosting this episode! In this weeks Strength Chat, I was joined by an international powerlifter and a coach with numerous national and international lifters to his name, Cat Smith and Lawrence Farncombe. With most powerlifting competitions in 2020 cancelled, I thought it would be a good opportunity to see what the impact this has had on coaches and athletes. As Cat and Lawrence have worked together for such a long time, and will have planned out their competitions for the year, it was interesting to hear both sides of the impact of COVID from the coaches and athletes point of view. We chatted about motivation, programming and the plan heading into 2021.

It was a real pleasure to have such a legend of powerlifting as a guest on Strength Chat this week. In this week’s episode, I was joined by a guy who is widely regarded as the greatest powerlifter of all time, setting over 71 world records, Ed Coan. As someone who has been there and done it, using methods that have stood the test of time, it was great to chat with Ed about all things training and the key to getting stronger. We covered why the small details in training are so important when it comes to getting stronger, as well as why you should take your time and make sure you get your technique dialled in.

In this weeks Strength Chat episode, I had the opportunity to speak with IPF World Champion, holding the most Open world records, Blaine Sumner. Blaine is at the very top of his game, lifting some crazy weights, having squatted the most weight in IPF history with a 515kg squat back in March! Obviously as spectators, we only see the final lifts on the platform from Blaine. Therefore, in this episode, we chatted about his training, how he manages his fatigue around heavy sessions, as well as his exercise variation in his programmes.

For this weeks Strength Chat, I had the pleasure of speaking with biomechanics and rehab specialist, David Grey. To have the opportunity to speak to David was awesome. For topics that from the outside looking in can look too complicated to understand, he does a great job of putting across the information and content in a more digestible way for people to understand. From my point of view as a coach, David has helped me understand the world of pre/rehab a bit more. Therefore, in this episode, we chatted about foot health and why it’s so important, as well as his thoughts on activation exercises and long-term vs short term fixes.

This was probably one of my all-time favourite episodes hosting Strength Chat. To have this guy as a guest was awesome as I have followed his work for such a long time and have a massive amount of respect for what he does. In this week’s episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with the coach to some of the strongest athletes in the world, Sebastian Oreb. It was clear from the start of the episode I was pretty excited about this one. How Sebastian puts across his knowledge and content has massively helped me as a coach, as well as in my own lifting. You can see from the athletes he works with that his methods are tried and tested and elicit awesome results. Therefore, in this episode we spoke about all thing’s strength training. This included working with a variety of strength sport athletes, how to tap into an athlete’s full-strength potential, as well the importance of technique.

In this weeks Strength Chat it was awesome to talk about all things training, nutrition, competing and a whole host of other topics with former CrossFit athlete turned weightlifter, winning the 2019 Pan American Championships, Alyssa Ritchey. This episode was probably one of my favourites to record as Alyssa provided some awesome content and gave a real insight into the world of a top-level athlete. We chatted about her transition from competing in CrossFit to taking on weightlifting full time, maintaining her weight and having a team around her for an individual sport, as well as how to balance life and training.

It was a real pleasure to have this a guest on Strength Chat this week. In this episode, I spoke with a PhD in neurology and behaviour, as well as being a multiple masters world champion in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Dr. Mel Davis. After following Mels work and hearing her speak on other podcasts, it was great to have opportunity to speak to her about her area of expertise on all thing’s habits and behaviour change. Creating habits and changing behaviour is something I have found as a coach that some people can really struggle with.

I last spoke to Phil way back in episode 55, so to have him as a guest on Strength Chat again was awesome. Ever since our last conversation, the advice and guidance Phil gave me, as well as following the content and information he puts out there has had such a positive impact on my own coaching and training. He has so much knowledge and experience you can’t help but learn something from him every time to you speak to him.

In this weeks Strength Chat episode, I had the pleasure to chat with gymnastic and bodyweight training specialist, Pamela Gagnon.

I don’t think I’ve ever been as excited to host a Strength Chat episode! For this week’s guest, I had the pleasure of chatting with a multiple world record holding powerlifter, exercise physiologist and a Doctor of Physical Therapy, the one and only, Stefi Cohen. To be able to chat to Stefi, who is such an influential figure within the world of strength sports, about training and building success was awesome. With the amount of records Stefi holds, I think it can be forgotten sometimes the hard work and successful habits it took to get her where she is today. Therefore, in this episode, we covered how you can still have variety in your training and still be successful in powerlifting, how Stefi’s training has changed over time and how to build successful habits and behaviours.

It’s always great to catch up with these guys and chat about all things coaching, powerlifting and strength training. The last time I hosted The Powerlifting Roundtable was back in episode 87, so it was about time I got this group of coaches back together. In this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Chris Kershaw, Dan Bedford and Tim Garrett. These guys bread and butter is strength training, whether its powerlifting, strongman or just generally getting their clients stronger. With lockdown limiting peoples access to equipment and disrupting those clients who may have had competitions on the horizon, we chatted about strength training during lockdown and strategies Chris, Dan and Tim have implemented with their clients. We also covered the journey of strength training from the very first time a client gets involved with coaching.

He is a strength and conditioning coach with over 6 years’ experience and is currently the Head of Youth Strength and Conditioning at Huddersfield Giants Rugby League, Adam Megretton.

This week’s guest is a 5x IPF World Champion, Ray Williams.

Since finding out about this charity and seeing what great work they do by using powerlifting to improve people’s lives and communities, I had to take the opportunity to share their story. In this episode we chatted how Lift4Life was created, the work they do within the communities and the positive knock on effect of their projects.

For this week’s Strength Chat, it was an absolute pleasure to have the opportunity to speak with British weightlifter, who won a silver medal at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, Sarah Davies. To be able to chat to a lifter of Sarah’s calibre was awesome. She is also really friendly and a great role model to follow. In this episode we chatted about her own training and routine, the purpose of skill work to improve your lifts and set new PBs, as well as competing in pageants outside of weightlifting.

In this week’s episode, I spoke with a coach involved in the business of training for over 16 years. He’s authored numerous books. Today I was joined by Christian Thibaudaeu. Christian has so much knowledge, and puts some great content out there, it was awesome to pick his brains and learn from him.

I last spoke to this guy way back in episode 36, and since then he has become my coach, so it was great to catch up and have him as a guest for this weeks Strength Chat. In this episode I spoke with former Junior IPF World Champion, now taking the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world by storm, Mark Macqueen. With powerlifting having been such a big part of Marks life and been his focus for such a long time, starting afresh in a completely different sport must have been a big challenge and change. Therefore, we chatted about how his training and mindset has changed, the biggest challenges he’s faced, and what the future holds for his journey in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

It was awesome to have these two guys as guests on this weeks Strength Chat. In this episode, I chatted with the co-creators of Citizen Athletics, Teddy Willsey and Sam Spinelli. These two guys combine their experience of strength training and background in physical therapy to put some great content out there. I know from following them myself for some time, the information they provide has massively helped me out as coach working with my own clients and in my own lifting. Therefore, we chatted about building robustness, what that involves, and how you can add that into programming.

In this week’s episode, I caught up with two coaches from Reactive Training Systems who have helped countless lifters get stronger and smash their PBs, Mike Tuchscherer and Jim Elli. Both Mike and Jim put some awesome content out there through their work with Reactive Training Systems and have really mastered their skill of coaching, programming, and getting the best out of their lifters.

Having followed strongman since I was young, to be able to have this guy as a guest on Strength Chat was awesome! In this week’s episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with a guy who has appeared at Worlds Strongest Man 14 times, the Miracle Man, Mark Felix. Mark has been one of the most consistent performers in strongman, known for his herculean grip and being able to rep out deadlifts for fun. In this episode we chatted about how strongman and his training has changed throughout his career, how he has managed to keep himself in such great shape and compete for such a long time, as well how he manages training and travelling alongside a full time job.

After last speaking to this guy all the way back in episode 57, it was an absolute pleasure to be able to catch up with him in this week’s episode. In this episode I spoke with your very own strength and nutrition wizard, Jordan Syatt. Jordan puts so much quality information and content out there which massively helps clear up confusions and myths that can be floating around the fitness industry. I know he has massively helped me in the way I put information across and coach my clients. That’s why in this episode, we aimed to clear up how there is more to losing weight or fat than just being in a calorie deficit, good and bad calories, and how there’s more than one way to track results.
