The JuggLife | Weightlifting with Max Aita & Zack Telander 

I think an important addendum to something Zack said at about 12:20-12:30, Rip probably doesn't know anything about modern Weightlifting and I would add that Louie doesn't seem to know anything about the modern state of Powerlifting either. Stefi Cohen filmed stuff for her RU-vid channel at Westside a few months ago and he had no idea who the fuck she was. Westside vs. the World kinda painted him as this out of touch luddite and that's something he seemed to almost take pride in.

I've deadlifted 705lbs, front squatted 550lbs, strict OHP'd 335lbs, and I can't clean 315lbs, much less 405. Self admittedly suck hard at cleans.

It is amazing that stating the obvious is necessary in this day and age - the difference between a deadlift pull and a clean or snatch pull is dramatic, almost unrelated. Acceleration from the knee bares no relation to grinding from the floor to the mid-thigh. I deadlifted 600, but am truly starting from scratch to cue weightlifting pulls in a path that allows for acceleration. Sad its necessary to even have this discussion, but certainly well done on your end gentlemen. As an aside, low bar squats are a path to nowhere. Watching Chad squat huge weights with real quad engagement is inspirational

Holy crap did you slim down looking good man?

Great episode

Wow!!! Chad Wesley Smith looks completely different. 10 years younger!

Top 10 anime crossovers 2019

looks like everyone already said this, but holy shit you're looking fit! I just finished watching the Scientific principles of strength series again and to see you now is mind boggling

Man i hope some day you make this kinda podcast with a video because im the kinda guy that easy to fall asleep while just hearing people but don't see any movement 😅

It seems like a good analogy would be that running a faster 5K won't help you run a faster 100m. They are similar movement patterns with different levels of power output and rate of force production.

Hey guys, just a heads up, I think something weird is going on with the audio only version of this podcast. Normally listen to y'all on Spotify, but there's a point where all audio just goes dead when I tried with this episode.

Yay! Zack🖤

Im here because, well elbows.

We need time stamps !

im late to the party, but louie simmons in fact did train for weightlifting in the 60s.

RIP is gonna be in Thailand for the lady boys...I fucking love you guys

It's like the training make podcast and jugg lift had a baby.

Chad is strong as fuck

I want y’all to weigh in on Toshiki. Why he squat so damn much, why not work on shoulder health and his jerk? Should he just make the switch to powerlifting official?

I made the mistake of trying to post constructive comments on Rip's weightlifting video. I just got dirty. Thank you for this cleansing podcast.

Where's my Gerber Baby Chad? Looking good though 💪

You look like a Cub Chad from Grizzly Bear Chad

Here's another thing I noticed. Rip's narrative, which he has been pushing for at least the last 10 years, is that US coaches don't care about developing strength in their lifters. I asked for the name of one coach who Rip thought was not doing a good job of getting his or her lifters stronger. Crickets.The one response I received from a person posting under the Starting Strength name was that developing strength was different from getting stronger. Not sure that there's a difference, but at any rate the response did not answer my question. This mythical US coach who doesn't care about strong weightlifters is simply a strawman that Rip has created to fire up his supporters and, presumably, to market the Starting Strength brand. He portrays himself as the curmudgeonly "Uncle Rippy" who has the one simple solution to make the US dominate in weightlifting, but all of the US coaches are too stupid to listen.

Putting the clean before dead horse.

Hi chad

My training videos are similar to what you saying lol

So my dream of Mark Rippetoe doing a podcast with you guys is dead.

So we still suck ? Almost half way through, was just curious.

Rip never said that deadlifting 700 makes cleaning 350 or 450 “lighter”. He said it makes you stronger and therefore better able to generate more force against the bar. This “more force” results in higher acceleration, results in higher momentum at the end of the pull, results in the bar moving higher. All of this is required to be able to clean the afore mentioned weights. And he never said that just getting your deadlift up would result in a 1:1 improvement in your clean. He DID say that you have to practice with weights close to your third attempt C&J in order to develop the technique required.

🤘💀🤘

Louie started out competing in Olympic weightlifting, albeit only for a few years. And I get that guys like this liked to oppose Louie and paint him as the out of touch old guy. But he was right, it wasn't a lack of technique holding them back. You guys look silly

Who is this impostor? What happened to Chad?

Damn Chad you sick?. You prepping for a show?

Chad bout 230lbs now

Chad skinny boi toy smith

How many fallacies can you guys make? Unbelieveable.

Man, I am just disappointed. You guys used to be a lot better. Shame.
