Summary

Alex Maclin (@alexqmaclin) is on a mission to light the fire within you, to help you have a body you are proud of, perform amazingly, and live a healthy life.

Alex is a long time friend of the Shrugged crew, and you may have seen him on many videos and our programs. He even hosted Barbell Shrugged for a moment.

Alex has coached hundreds of athletes through online training programs for weightlifting, strength and conditioning. He has also competed at national-level and regional-level meets in Olympic Weightlifting.

In this episode, we dive into how to periodize your nutrition at different times of the year. Going over gaining strength, making weight for competition or sometimes gaining muscle to move to a new weight class.

We also cover how much body fat a weightlifter should be carrying, whether macros are better than paleo for weightlifters, how to pick the best weight class for you, and much more.

Enjoy!

-Doug & Anders

0:04.6	The Barbell Shrug. This week we're hanging out with Alex Maclin. What a gangster that guy is.
0:11.4	There's like a little right of passage that comes with being the host of Barbell Shrug.
0:17.0	You got to meet all the people and Alex is one of those guys that has just been a huge piece of the Barbell Shrug story.
0:23.8	There's so much love for the dude out there that I was just really excited to meet him interview him.
0:30.0	And turns out what an amazing dude. We hung out with him here in San Diego as well as down in Austin at Paleo FX.

1:45.2	I train every single day, but that doesn't mean that I'm in there trying to PR my clean and jerk and my back squat seven days a week.
1:52.2	It's a very spread out thing and when I try to start explaining it to people,
1:56.2	I feel like I am explaining this gigantic puzzle to somebody that makes so much sense in my head.
