[Show Notes]

On the top of the show, Tom answers a listener’s question about whether to cut to a new weight class and why it really doesn’t matter. During the interview, Kevin Doherty of Hassle Free Barbell Club drops in to share how he built an incredibly successful, if not THE most successful youth weightlifting program in the United States. Learn how he and his club helped lifters like Jenny Arthur, Donovan Ford, Ian Wilson and D’Angelo Osorio hit the elite levels within USAW, and how they’re developing an entirely new crop of youth and junior lifters who are poised for more incredible records and podium finishes. Plus, Tom and Kevin talk about the USAW event calendar and the changes they’d like to see, discuss the impending weight class changes, and what Kevin would like to see from the High Performance Director.
