Dave has always been on my Mt. Rushmore of fitness pros along with the Great John Meadows. I know Dave could give a damn about fitness unless it relates to getting stronger. Maybe I should say muscle heads instead of fitness pros wtf.
Short of Louie Simmons himself, I truly believe nobody has given more to strength sports than Dave Tate. His early seminars were very informative and he’s amassed tons of athletes to share their knowledge on Elitefts
Two things Dave does really well: 1. Teach everyone from the novice to the advanced. What a blessing to keep learning. 2. Remind us of important human truths that we need to be frequently reminded of.
This is awesome. To anyone who has followed EliteFTS, read the articles, or done business with them, Dave has ALWAYS held strongly to the message he gave here. Giving back to others to make the community of lifting stronger and better
These two guys define “self-made”. They are two of the most respectable, bad-ass people of our time. They both came up with similar struggles and have reached great heights. What Dave says about helping people is truly powerful! I’m not a power lifter or body builder but have respected these guys for more than a decade! 💪💪🙏🙏🙏
Love this! Dave is the man. Been reading Elite FTS since I was in middle school. Just had a cool article idea. Maybe make a sort of “coaching-tree” diagram that included all the generations of athletes/coaches/lifters that Dave has worked with/sponsored. That would be cool.
@@eliteftsofficial That is a crazy list! I was just scrolling through and stopping randomly and every time, I saw a name that I recognised, either through online, youtube or read articles they had written! Amazing legacy!
Seeing the catharsis in both of their faces when Mark told Dave that it was him made me emotional. Years of hard work and effort pinpointed into a moment of realization. The empathy they share is admirable and is probably why they have both been so successful in helping so many other people. A one in a million moment caught on camera, very awesome.
I thought this was one of the best parts of the podcast the genuine surprise by Dave was just awesome and it’s great to see these guys still friends after all these years
Dave I ordered a bunch of equipment from you about 19 years ago. I built my entire home gym based on conversations that we had when we talked on the phone. I also learned most of my good information from watching your VHS tapes in that box set that had 3 or 4 tapes and the Periodization bible. I ordered a rack with 1 inch hole spacing with attachments for bands, an adjustable heavy duty bench, a glute ham raise, an adjustable box squat, dip attachment, bands from jump stretch and several lengths of chain from a link on your site. So you've vchanged a lot of lives for the better. I used that equipment to train at least a dozen people who went on to influence others so although I'm no Mark Bell in terms of what he's done for the strength, you have definitely have an impact rhat has gone far beyond the individual, me, who purchased equipment from you so long ago.! Thanks! Mark you have also had a huge impact on my training so thanks to both of you. I am 48 now, but I still train like I did when I was in my late 20s. I actually peaked my strength at 41. Now I train hard but I'm more conscious of being injured so I train quite a bit more conservatively.
I thought I knew pretty much everything there was to know. Then I seriously started to listen to Dave's podcasts and read his articles in 2018. That dude rejuvenated my "ability" to learn, and has helped me immensely. So I would answer this question exactly like Mark did. Thank you, Dave!!
You’re a huge inspiration Dave! Started watching the Channel afew years back which lead me to buying a sled first of all then finding JM and mountain dog from there and hooked ever since. Thankyou- truly
Dave made me wanna be a better bencher.. thank you dave the stuff you shared 90% of that i was able to put to good use... 🙏 more power from the philippines!! 🔥🤙🏻
It’s true , westside and Dave tate really built the major foundation for powerlifting and strength sports. the future people should continue there craft where they left off and the cycle grows like how life does. Dave has give so much free knowledge on stuff that it’s mind blowing. I wish I could upload a pic on TH-cam , because the stuff he explained oone has helped me change my body and strengh so much
I went to a squat seminar a long time ago with Dave at WSB. That day changed my life forever and helped me to change many athlete's lives as well over the years.
I have so much respect for Dave because he has such a passion for this. And I see this passion and use it towards my everyday life. He has a lot of knowledge and shares it, thank you Dave!
Love you guys ,,, youve all helped so many people so much Dave , Chuck , Ed Coan , Kirk Karwoski ,,, those were the guys to me , the legendary beasts if you will .... from the days of sitting around reading PL USA 30 years ago until now , trying to copy and emulate the form the technique , the work ethics .... God Bless
AMEN BROTHA. THATS AWESOME. WHEN YOU LOVE DOIN THIS, YOU JUST WANT TO HELP OTHERS DO IT TOO. WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN ALL OF THE DAVE TATES AND JON MEADOWS AND GOOD HEARTED OLD SCHOOLERS ARE GONE.
This is amazing
Honestly one of my favorite episodes and this part was just awesome
Definitely would love to see Dave on the power project, a combination of my two favorite pod casts.
Trent Brown the short series dave did with john meadows recently is great guys like dave are great ambassadors for the sport

The passion Dave has for his craft is absolutely incredible and always extremely inspiring. Thank you for all you have done and all you still do Dave.

Shit like this is why I randomly think "man I hope Dave tate is having a good day rn"
JM Blakely and Dave Tate showed me I can learn, and I have confidence. I cannot thank EliteFTS enough.

Really connect with what Dave said after learning that he was the catalyst for Mark
Their love of lifting is contagious and I'm grateful to have been exposed to their knowledge, passion and generosity. Two of my favorites.
Two of my favorite lifters and teachers!

Louie can be confusing dont believe me or mark watch him on the joe rogan podcast
He called him "Jim Rogan" 😂😂
He is very very confusing
That's right Jim
I have so much respect for Dave because he has such a passion for this. And I see this passion and use it towards my everyday life. He has a lot of knowledge and shares it, thank you Dave!
A true mentor.

Interesting discussion. I've known you both a long time. This is truly why, so many of us do what we do. This is the best from both of you.

Good shit!!!! 💯🇲🇽🇺🇸
I do box squats on the toilet as well😂
Unselfish amazing men.
Put me in the Dave Tate bandwagon, too.
WAIT! Dave has feelings?! I thought his only feeling was angry and ornery not sure if they both feelings
Ended up being a kind of pyramid... help one and it creates a wild fire
Where can we watch the full podcast
2005. These two men , Louie Simmons and Ronnie Coleman introduced me to my true love: Powerlifting.
