PowerCast episode originally released Mar 16, 2016.

Weightlifting and powerlifting coach Max Aita returns to the program. We jump right in with a discussion of why Americans don't dominate Olympic weightlifting, what Louie Simmons has to say about it, and what Max thinks it would take to change the situation. We speculate about the impact of performance enhancing drugs across all sports, and why they're only part of the story. We also breakdown Max's weightlifting career, what he did when he knew it was over, and what the next chapter of his life is going to be.

You can find Max at @max_aita on Instagram and you can email him [email protected] for private coaching.
