My guest today is my Olympic Weightlifting coach Dan Bell of Rubber City Weightlifting. Dan has over 30 years of experience in strength sports. Dan has been coaching Olympic Weightlifting for the past 19 years. He has coached athletes of all different skill levels and ages. From local meet lifters to national level lifters all the way to Olympic level lifter Holley Mangold. Dan and Holley were featured on the MTV show True Lift while Dan was preparing Holley for the 2009 Pan American Championships in Guatemala.
Dan is not just a lifter and coach, he studied English from the Ohio State University. Dan has published the book "Nadir's Fire", that you can find on Amazon. Dan is one of the top Olympic Weightlifting coaches in the country. He is very good at developing national level lifters from athletes with no prior lifting experience. Dan also teaches USA Weightlifting Level 1 coaches clinics a few times a year. If you are an aspiring strength coach you need to take one of his clinics.
Today we talked mostly about Dan's background in strength sports. He has done it all from starting out lifting in his bedroom with plastic and concrete weights, to lifting stones in the park. He was a powerlifter for Westside Barbell in Columbus Ohio. He also founded Columbus Weightlifting and helped current coach of Columbus Weightlifting, Mark Cannella, organize and run the Arnold Weightlifting Championships at the Arnold Sports Festival in Columbus Ohio every year. Dan is the head coach of Rubber City Weightlifting in Canton Ohio. He shares the space with Justin Oliver of Unrivaled Strength and Fitness.
You can find Dan on Facebook and Instagram @RubberCityWeightlifting. You can visit his website at RubberCityWeightlifting.org. He has some great plans for jerk blocks on his website. People have been using his design for jerk blocks for years as they are some of the best available. Plus, they are free.
