Hey everyone, thanks for tuning into Power Athlete Radio.

So you've been training the Olympic lifts for a while, but your progress has stalled.

Sound familiar? Enter Jedi Sean Waxman of Waxman's Gym.

Having coached numerous national competitors over his 25-year career, he knows the science

behind successful lifters.

What you may not expect is his belief that aerobic work in the form of sport can give an

Ollie athlete the edge.

When periodized appropriately, how exactly does this translate to more power and efficiency?

In this episode, Sean Waxman and

the crew discussed the overlap of sport and Olympic lifting down to the muscle fiber. Waxman

generously gives an overview of how he programs microcycles leading up to a competition, and

some fascinating discussion on the potentially positive role that fatigue has on performance,

and what it means

to train to improve your average maximum force versus your absolute maximum force.

This is a dense one.

This is episode 229.

I'm smoking going down the road.

Power athlete nation, what is up? I won't do the waza. Wala. No, it's on. Dude, I call my buddy, and he fucking did was up back. From 1999 to 2003, I think that was popular. Yeah, yeah, that's where I peaked. We already covered this last episode. So it's probably about a decade and a half ago. Ladies and gentlemen, you're listening to another episode of the premier podcast in strength and conditioning. So public service announcements up front. Don't just hit that fucking 30 fast forward button. I know what you're thinking people. Like, oh, here they go.

Maybe there's going to be a surprise in this one.

Maybe there's going to be a nugget.

You could miss out.

Don't hit the fast forward button.
