The Difference Between Olympic Champions and Casuals [Ep. 68: Seb Ostrowicz]
We've got a special episode of the podcast for you this week...
We interviewed Seb Ostrowicz, the owner of Weightlifting House - and the biggest fan of weightlifting I know!
In the episode we discuss...
How Olympic champions train compared to hobby lifters like you and I
The similarities between how GOAT's like Karlos Nasar and Ilya Illyn approach competition
Which weightlifter he thinks is the hardest worker in the world
The underrated weightlifters who don't get the recognition they deserve
The lessons he learned from our late coach Glenn Pendlay (like the one below)
You can watch the episode on YouTube or Spotify, or listen to it on Apple Podcasts here!
“If I had Lu Xioujun’s technique, I could maybe add 5-10kg to my snatch, but the real difference is that I can’t squat 300kg ”
That's a quote from a discussion we had on the importance of focusing on getting strong at all costs.
Technique is important. You NEED to have good technique, but without the strength to back it up, great technique doesn't mean as much.
