  Making weight, in addition to being one of the most difficult aspects of sport, is often the most misunderstood. Widely criticized by both those who practice and those who watch any sport divided in bodyweight classes, making weight and cutting weight are often depicted as cheating or as reckless and risky behavior. Several academic

Using weightlifting to improve powerlifting

Eric Brown (@oracleofihop) and Marilia Coutinho (@marilia_coutinho) Few lifts have the complexity – and generate the controversy – as the snatch and clean. Included in the Olympics since 1896, they have been the basis for many strength and conditioning programs at both the collegiate and professional levels. The quick lifts have any number of benefits

By: Marilia Coutinho (@marilia_coutinho) and Eric Brown (@oracleofihop)   A few weeks ago, the two of us were discussing a topic related to fitness management, with implications to marketing and sales: client retention and untapped reserve. Let’s take a look at the physical structure of most conventional gyms: there is a strip of “cardio machines”,

Random Sunday: peeing, stress and performance – when you can’t go

More thoughts on the recent conference experience (the Arnold’s conference in Rio, Brazil). This time, about peeing. Hugo Quinteiro and I talked and we decided there is a very small higher limit to the number of conferences we can accept to speak at each year. They will be chosen according to priority. It is more

Things I’ve learned from my recent experience on Instagram with a Strength training account

Deixe um comentário / communication, sports sponsorship / Por

First I didn’t have an Instagram account. I didn’t even have a smartphone. My argument (part of which remains untouched) is that a writer can’t have constant interruptions. Neither can a high performance athlete. Writing, especially writing longer pieces, like books, requires some level of undivided attention to your work. Lifting, too. Teaching, too. So,

Powerlifting as a tool in the inner war against drugs

I want to start with two revelations that will certainly drive more than a few readers away: I am not against the use of recreational drugs for any moral reason. In fact, in a completely rational manner, I defend the gradual legalization (and regulation) of production, industrialization and commercialization of drugs as the only possible
