Hugh Cassidy was a powerlifting pioneer becoming the sports first super heavyweight world champion in 1971. He could bench 570 lbs. with a two second pause and squat 800 lbs. below parallel without a suit. As a pioneer, there was no template and very little information, if any, to follow. He was a true strength strategist and ironically, many of these strategies are still used today. Listen in while we discuss this unique powerhouse, Hugh Cassidy.

Marty recently began working with a 15-year old named Andrew who he set up on a 12-week periodized strength program consisting of mainly the core four lifts, bench press, overhead press, squat and deadlift. For the most part, this is the same lifting strategy Marty used himself as a teenager in 1964. We also discussed questions and concerns parents may have about pre-pubescent kids and teenagers when it comes to strength training, sports performance and nutrition.

Today I’m talking to powerlifter Jimmy Kolb, the all-time record holder in the equipped bench press. In June 2021, he benched an astonishing 508 kilograms (or 1,120 pounds) in a single-ply bench shirt. It’s the heaviest bench press ever performed by a human. Jimmy joins us to talk about training as a bench specialist, his transition from raw to equipped lifting, misconceptions about equipped lifting, and pushing human performance past boundaries of what was once thought possible. It’s an interesting look at one of the most focused strength approaches we’ve ever seen.

Special thanks to Dr. Ryan Chow for another great podcast. Please visit his websites at https://www.reloadpt.com and https://firstprinciplesofmovement.com

Mark Chaillet was a powerlifting savant. He eventually squatted a below parallel 1,000 lbs in training and 940 in competition. Mark deadlifted 880 weighing 270. He set a dozen world records in the deadlift. He asked for no one’s opinion about training. He had one way of training: period. He trained minimally within each session: three lifts and three lifts only, each done once a week for a single periodized rep. He trained infrequently and he championed the “rested effort.” Mark showed us how little was needed, in terms of training volume, to become massive and strong beyond comprehension. Never has a man done less and gone further.
