Strength Chat

In this week’s episode I was joined by a Strength Chat veteran, being a part of the famous Powerlifting Roundtable episodes. This weeks guest was coach, powerlifter, and the new Head of Strength & Conditioning at Oldham Rugby League, Dan Bedford. I’ve known Dan for some time and have know he’s competed to a good level in both rugby league and powerlifting. However, changing from one sport to another isn’t always straightforward. In this episode we chatted about adjusting to both sports, the pros and cons, as well as touching on the misconceptions about being a powerlifter to other sports.

It was an absolute pleasure to welcome this guest back to Strength Chat. We last spoke back in Episode 196, which was a really popular episode. This week I caught up with Andrew Coates. I’ve followed Andrew’s content for quite a while now and feel like a lot of my philosophies and values are aligned with his. In this episode we chatted about how to develop your career as a coach or trainer, common pitfalls for coaches and trainers just starting out, as well as content beyond social media.

Here’s an episode from the archives for this weeks Strength Chat. In 2018 I had the pleasure of hosting this guy for a seminar in Leeds, U.K., fresh from winning the 2017 Worlds Strongest Man title. Here is the footage of the chat from before that seminar with first man to pull 500kg, Eddie Hall. It was great to hear how open and honest Eddie was, as well as getting a great insight into his mindset. If you’re looking for motivation, this is the episode for you.

It was absolute pleasure to welcome this guy back on Strength Chat for this week’s episode. We last spoke back in Episode 115. He’s a physical preparation coach and the Co-Owner of IFAST, Mike Robertson. When it comes to developing systems and knowing what to programme that is going to get results, Mike has so much knowledge and experience. In this episode we chatted about programming, and can we make athletes and clients bulletproof, filtering out what doesn’t work, as well as the influence of technology within strength and conditioning.

For this weeks Strength Chat, it was awesome to be joined by the deadlift king, pulling a mind blowing 487.5kg at The American Pro this year, Danny Grigsby. This feat of strength is even more impressive as Danny is also a full time US Marine and as we discuss in the episode, it’s not always straightforward with managing training. We also covered how he balances training the other lifts in his training, preparing for a competition, and how he keeps on top of his recovery and nutrition.

In this week’s Strength Chat, I was joined by two awesome guests, the Founder of INDI Performance and a Sports Dietitian, Paige Mills and Leah Higl. Nutrition is important for performance; however, it often falls down the list of priorities behind training and life getting the way.
