The Odyssey Podcast Odyssey Strength

The guys sit down to discuss Adam's recent success in the ABS Series 17 Division 1 in Cologne!

The weight cut process, future plans, Conor's eventual competition in wraps and Article 14, there was plenty to discuss.

In this episode, Adam and Conor discuss one of the most requested topics - Meet Day Handling. Handling athletes on the day of competition is as much an art as it is science. The guys discuss all the ins and outs of good meet day handling in various scenarios. Handling your own lifters at national/ international competitions, competing for podium, medals, and records on the stage, or for handling friends at first time competitions. This is a deep and broad topic, give it a listen and let us know what you think!

In this episode, Adam and Conor look back on the two of the biggest powerlfiting spectacles the island of Ireland has ever seen; IrishPF Junior Nationals 2024 and the ABS series Clash of the Titans 2. Both of these competitions have increased the bar for tested and untested lifting respectively, and begs a question on "what's next?" as the bar continues to raise. The guys reflect on their experience participating in and attending the competitions, as well as looking forward in what's to come with their own training.

Adam and Conor are joined by fellow Odyssey Strength coach Clarice Tighe to recap the recent Masters Euros and the performances of the entire Irish team sent over to Malaga.

Clarice, Jen and Ben did a phenomenal job of guiding the contingent to some incredible performances, overcoming plenty of adversity and as always coming away with a huge amount of silverware to show for it.

It was an absolute pleasure to be able to sit down and discuss the highlights from this bunch of excellent competitors and representatives of the sport.
