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.

You’ll also get thoughtful breakdowns of major competitions, understanding not just who won, but how and why.

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.
