Howdy Quadzillas! This week’s guest is prolific Matt Foreman who you may know from:

His Writings on Catalyst Athletics
His Books “Bones of Iron” and "Olympic Weightlifting for Masters”
His American Open Titles
His Collegiate Record
The 2004 Olympic Trials
His state records in both Washington and Arizona
The Scottish Highland Games
His Football and Track Coaching
His Coverage of Kong Fest
and his full and magnificent beard.

Matt dropped by the echo-chamber and we talked about the shift in attitudes about both weightlifting and CrossFit, as well as how the two modalities have transitioned from feuding sub-cultures to allies in fitness with CrossFit increasing the install-base and Weightlifting increasing the proficiency.

We also talk about:

Some of the greatest sins committed in the gym.
Switching Modalities
Getting stronger in the face of age, injury and surgery
The shame of a 700lb squat
Giving props to LA Fitness
and Whores
