In this week’s episode of Healthspan Academy, I chatted with Greg Everett, who is a world-renowned coach in the sport of weightlifting. Greg and I discussed the key elements of weightlifting for slowing or reversing the aging process, some of the barriers for getting started, as well as the technical aspects of improving the lifts. We talked about programming, mobility, and injury prevention. Greg also passed on some key golden nuggets from his latest book, Tough, which is a fantastic read for developing a winning mindset and finding greater success in life.
Greg Everett is the owner of Catalyst Athletics, coach of the USA Weightlifting National Champion team Catalyst Athletics and author of the books Olympic Weightlifting and Tough. He is also the director/writer/producer/editor/everything of the documentary American Weightlifting, a co-host of the Weightlifting Life Podcast, and publisher of The Performance Menu journal. As a USA Weightlifting international coach, he has trained over 30 senior national level or higher lifters, including multiple national champions and national record holders.
