On Episode 33 of The Philosophical Weightlifting Podcast I was joined by Donovan Ford. Donovan is an American weightlifter in the 105kg class. He has won many national competitions, medaled internationally, and competed on the world stage for team USA.

In this episode Donovan and I discuss his career in weightlifting, including the seven years he spent at the OTC. We discussed his experiences training full-time as a weightlifter and then transitioning to training while juggling a job, going to school, and being married. We also dive in to his experiences competing and training under Zygmunt Smalcerz and now, Dave Spitz.

Enjoy!
