Olympic weightlifting puts very specific demands on the body. If the demands are specific, should the diet be specific too to fuel the performance optimally?
Also, many weightlifters need to manipulate their body weight at some point during their careers. Ideally, this should occur later rather than earlier, and only for the highest-level competitions. Nonetheless, how the weight is cut, maintained, or gained will significantly impact the lifter's performance. Therefore, choosing the most optimal strategy and timeline is crucial.
Darren Delaney is nearing the completion of his Master's degree, where he has been investigating nutritional approaches for Olympic weightlifters. In this interview, he goes into detail on the available literature and provides science-based guidelines on calories, macros, and supplements for Olympic weightlifters.
Enjoy!
