Featured Athletes:

Now we train with more games and competitions

Some good throwers don't do snatches or cleans

During competition season I'm only using 60% of my max weights

It's an adrenaline kick

Be the best version of yourself

There are no bad trainings, we train according to our daily shape

What's great about sport is that you can get to know so many people

I want to test different training theories on myself to see if they work

In 2-3 years you can teach regular people to squat over 200kg

We always do abs before the workout rather than after

When I start my day with training, it sets me up for a good day

If someone punches you, you want to be up on your feet as fast as possible

Freedom is to be 100% you

Before, I thought gluten was bad, but now I bake my own bread

Fats are overlooked in the recovery process

The more you schedule, the more freedom you have.

The training should feel nearly too easy.

I increased my PR [in the Snatch] with 15kg just by working on my technique.
