Description

Make sure to visit IRON COMPANY for all your gym equipment needs including dumbbells and dumbbell sets, weight plates, and rubber gym flooring.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. Check out our weekly Powerlifting Articles by Marty Gallagher where Marty discusses everything from the squat, deadlift, bench press, overhead press and much more. His latest article "Post-Workout Replenishment For Weight Training" is up now. And don't forget the Jim Steel Weight Training Articles combining his head strength coach experience from the University of Pennsylvania for twenty years with decades of successful powerlifting meets and bodybuilding competitions for us all to learn from and enjoy. His latest article "Bicep and Tricep Training" is up now. Thanks for listening and if you like what you hear please give us a review on your favorite podcast player.
