Joshua Gibson & Max Aita: Evolving the Coaching Landscape in Weightlifting
Welcome back Weirdos to another episode of the podcast! This is another episode for my fellow Weightlifting Nerds out there with a guest double feature of Joshua Gibson and Max Aita. Join us as we explore the needs for evolving the current landscape of understanding in Weightlifting for both lifters and coaches. How we can continue to be curious to challenge our assumptions and collaborate with the latest science to continually improve our lifts/lifters.
Both Joshua and Max are known for their contributions into the sport between their many podcast appearances over the years, their own podcasts, their own coaching, software, and now with their new mentorship: Coachlogik. I've been so impressed by the level of thought and years of experience they both bring to this podcast and many others that this mentorship group has become a much-needed lighthouse for coaches (myself included).
Enjoy the episode, and stay weird out there folks!

Tristan Gibson's Comeback: Soccer, Surgery, and Mental Strength
For this episode we’re joined by a truly inspiring guest, Tristan Gibson, also known as Captain Orangutan. From being a promising college soccer athlete to enduring a series of life-altering medical issues including a brain cyst, hydrocephalus, and a shunt implantation that led him through intense pain, multiple surgeries, and even a brain stem stroke, Tristan’s journey is nothing short of remarkable.
Today, he’ll share how these challenges forced him off the soccer field but set him on a path of mental health coaching and holistic living. We’ll dive into how Tristan coped with his health setbacks by changing his beliefs about depression and anxiety, adjusting his diet, and avoiding medications. He'll also discuss his aspirations to travel the country in an adventure van, live sustainably, and continue spreading his knowledge through his coaching program. So, gear up for an episode filled with stories of resilience, transformation, and the pursuit of freedom and well-being. Join us as Tristan discusses how he turned his darkest moments into opportunities for growth and healing.
