My Guest – Mike Tuchscherer
My guest this week is no other than Mike Tuchscherer
Sometimes life gives you the strangest curveballs.
In 2014 i was in OHIO in USA for the Arnolds sports festival.
A huge convention that houses all kinds of power and fitness sports.
I was there as a coach and tourist and i got to see so many of the greats.
In the powerlifting area i had the chance to meet Mike and we had a short talk.
More memorable for me than him ofcourse.
In 2022 i was in Africa with the world championships and the same Mike was there.
I have a list over some people that i want to do a podcast with, before I retire, and Mike (also Bonica) is on the top of that list.
So i asked him expecting a No, but to my surprise he said yes.
- Whos is Mike?
Currently, Mike’s achievements include: - Winning the Gold Medal at the 2009 World Games
- Winning 8 USA Powerlifting National Championships
- 2 Bronze, 3 Silver, 1 Gold medals in IPF World Championships
- Set 3 IPF World Records multiple times
- Competed internationally both single ply and unequipped.
- Founder of Reactive Training Systems.
- Coach of 12 IPF world-record-setting PLers.
- And a nice dude
- I got to pick his brain for an short hour and the questions i asked was:
- Rpe scale
- Using rpe for beginners? Or advanced?
- New talent, should they optimise spesific sbd or train varied?
- Best lifts? Before and now? (Comeback)
- Your thoughts about unilateral exercises for powerlifting?
- Cardio training and max power?
- Kids, how is the life compared to before?
- Thoughts on moving back to America?
- I always ask about secret for good bench, it is allowed to answer consistent training.
