Today we are talking about that uneasy sensation that comes with lack of oxygen or energy, that most of us have felt after a heavy clean. Maybe you see spots or darkness begins to close in, and you’re not quite sure whether to try and save your lift or just dump the weight forward. If this is a regular occurrence for you, it’s worth considering possible roots to the issue, as well as trying out any of our suggestions within this recording. Enjoy the show!

Tune into The USA Weightlifting Podcast for conversations that go far beyond the barbell. Guided by hosts and Olympians Cheryl Haworth and Chad Vaughn, this official podcast offers a unique backstage pass to the sport. Each episode features in-depth interviews with the athletes and coaches who define weightlifting, sharing their journeys, training philosophies, and the mindset required to compete at the highest level. You’ll also get thoughtful breakdowns of major competitions, understanding not just who won, but how and why. What makes this podcast stand out is the blend of monumental personal stories with practical, everyday wisdom. Whether you're a seasoned athlete, a weekend lifter, or simply fascinated by the pursuit of human potential, these conversations are built to resonate. You’ll find genuine inspiration in the shared experiences of the community, and perhaps more importantly, you’ll consistently walk away with actionable tips that can be applied to your own training or life. It’s about the pursuit of excellence, the lessons learned from both victory and setback, and the collective passion that fuels the weightlifting world.
