    A lot of great information on competitive weightlifting. Just hope the recent trend of featuring products by sponsors doesn’t continue.

    A weightlifter toolbox
    This is such a great set of tools each podcast. The cues and tips are so easily absorbed into your current program. Highly recommend this for anyone who wants to improve their Olympic Weightlifting.

    Gold medal advice
    I really appreciate the in depth technique analysis from these elite weightlifters. Cheryl and Chad are personable and easy to listen to as they condense their years of experience into broadcast excellence. Highly recommended.

    Great podcast for weightlifters

    Best Weightlifting Podcast!
    I love listening to the podcast when I’m on my way to work in the morning or during lunch break. Cheryl is just so fun/easy to listen to and Chad trying to center the conversation, makes me feel like I’m listening in on friends talk about weightlifting, I learn something new every time. Really appreciate the advice on recovery, overtraining, moving and hearing from guests like Sarah Robles, Oscar Chaplin, and Ursula. As a person who got interested in weightlifting through CrossFit, I’d love to hear more on competition/championship recaps, mental heath and competing, dealing with injuries and how to return after that.

    6/6 all day
    Love this podcast! Really awesome content delivered by the colorful cast of Olympian’s, Cheryl and Chad! They always find a way to make this great for both coaches and athletes.

    Great Podcast!
    A lot of great topics explained in a simple and effective way! Would love to hear about the benefits of drinking PBR as a recovery tool from training!

    Hopefully this gets better
    Listening to Cheryl talk about cutting for a meet was practically intolerable. I get that she’s in the plus category, but she spends a lot of her time just making unhelpful comments about people that do choose to cut into their weight class. Shaming people goes two ways. Obviously the wrong episode to start listening to this podcast.

    Let guess talk
    I just listen to the RP part one and part two when are you going to let Mike talk like you would ask a question and then you would go into a 15 minute a description and answer your question and then you would ask Mike hey Mike you have any thoughts he would talk for about a minute and then you would interrupt him again. Just my two cents.

    Thank you for bringing your own stories, the interviews, the insights, the history — they’ve been so interesting & really go a long ways in helping me grow my love for this sport. You’ve definitely some of the best content out there! Thanks again, Cheryl & Vaughn — it is incredibly awesome listening to every one of your podcasts (over, and over, again). ...I love the lengthy embellishments you share, so please don’t feel you need to shorten these podcasts up!
  • JDFSigue
    Thumb up (with tape on them)
    Get Ryan Grimsland on here or other super sting youth lifters
  • CjcNSRD
    Yes!
    Competing for the top spot of my favorite weightlifting podcasts! Everyone needs a little Cheryl Haworth in their lives (and I guess Chad too. ;-P)

    Brings back memories
    Love how usaw brings 2 of the great American lifters from back in the day when I lifted! Love listening to y’all!
  • Afarr007
    Great Podcast! Amazing expertise
    I love listening to the combined experience of the hosts as well as the who’s-who of guests in American weightlifting. I feel like I’m really becoming connected to USAW and learning the top names of the organization. I would love an episode based around the less-used variations of the lift (i.e. the split snatch and the squat jerk), when they might be used and why they aren’t used as often. CJ Cummings May be a good person to talk on this topic to learn why he does the squat jerk.

    Entertaining and Informational
    I’ve listened to every podcast and can say that if you are a true fan you will appreciate the knowledge that comes with these podcasts with the history from the legends of the sport! I love the variety of interviews from current coach’s and athletes to legends of USA weightlifting to the CEO of USAW. Their is always something to learn and laugh at in each and every episode.
