If you’re the best at what you do, you will always get hate. Im sure that eddy coan got some hate in his day, Ronnie Coleman towards the end got hate, tiger woods, MJ, Phelps, Tyson, they all got hate. But their greatness outshines the bs, mostly foundation-less hate.
Dave’s ability to understand auto-regulation is probably a huge reason why he’s the best in multiply. It’s interesting to hear his thoughts on training.
Hoff is just the realest guy - whenever I feel disassociated from powerlifting or feel as though I’m going mental, Hoff always has a way of making me feel like I’m perfectly sane and helping me understand my own issues.
Like he deserves more exposure, and maybe you could bring him out to do lifting videos together or when you have a guest like Juji, have him there too. Or I think a lot of us would love seeing a table talk with Hoff and Chuck
This is exactly what I needed to hear. I let some negative things mess with my mind at my last comp and didn’t hit what I had set my mind on. I just couldn’t focus and was passive with everything. These pale in comparison to his losses (all of which I’ve been though, so condolences).
I competed for 5 years, single ply and raw. Geared lifting was FAR more difficult on both a technical and physical level. I hated it! AHHHH, the ruptured blood vessels in my eyes and face after a heavy geared squat session 😆
At 1:09 talking about things not going according to plan, all good lifters except for maybe an injury, figure out how to make it work and put up big numbers.
I have commented b4 with this but have to say it again! I am not what I would call a fan of powerlifting. That being stated first, this channel has turned me into a fan. Also love that "meathead" is thrown around in the same podcasts, when at the same time, complicated, intense programming is being discussed. I bet half of the book smart people could not even grasp programming because it involves a healthy amount of common sense. Thank you always for the content! And sorry to bring up sadness but I miss the chemistry you and John had when either of you collaborated on the others videos. There are few things better than seeing a Mutually respectful strong great friendship & that is what the 2 of you showed always! Thank you & God Bless!
On the first discussion - I can remember (years before I switched to multiply) a friend made the jump from raw. Asked him why and his response was along the lines of "Raw is just genetics and drugs, and my genetics suck. At least in gear there's a chance everyone else bombs".
Also, when Hoff discusses the death of his dad (his dog and Louie, too), that's some real life takeaway that's valid outside of power/weightlifting and applies to anyone. This was a really good interview. Thanks for sharing this one.
Fk yes Longhorn!! 🙌🙌🙌 We know 😂 If you've ever truly fried your central nervous system, you know the hell it is to recover from. It takes a lot of care and a lot of reprogramming. And the cost is very high.
Dave Hoff : when you said you made the decision to outlast Louie, and that you would beat everyone that Louie brought in for as long as he was alive, you would not yield, and that drove you, It kept you being the best, for as long as he lived. Wasn't that exactly his intent?
I'm confused about his distinction between "actual" 1000lb benchers wearing one type of shirt vs another. In both scenarios you're "actually" benching 1000lbs but in both scenarios you're getting massive assistance from the shirt so what's the difference?
He’s saying in traditional bench shirts there’s a learning curve/skill aspect that you need to develop over months/years whereas the band shirts you just slap on and day 1 you’re getting 200% carryover
@@adamzevchik1385 I guess what I'm getting at is that while I understand the amount they're getting out of the equipment is different, at the end of the day drawing a line between one type of shirt and another makes no sense to me. I'm genuinely trying to understand where he thinks the distinction is, I'm a raw lifter so I have no context. If you're wearing the gear then trying to call your group of people "actual" thousand pound benchers and the other not "actual" 1k benchers seems odd.
@@craighoughton3176 I don't think it's any different to distinguishing between the 2 different types of knee coverage in raw lifts (sleeves vs wraps) or even between raw and equipped, or single ply and multiply. Otherwise the best parallel I can think of would be; raw = high jump traditional bench shirt = pole vault band shirt = high jump off a trampoline
@@Dr_Footbrake I'll be honest, none of your examples make any sense to me. I can squat exactly as much without sleeves as I can with them, just less confortably. So adding a device (wraps) to increase that number seems pretty different than already wearing one type of device to using another. It seems more like Raw is high jump, bench shirts are on a trampoline, and banded bench shirts are on a more bouncy trampoline. The stuff they do on that trampoline (or in the powerlifting gear) is obviously mind blowing but if you said one guy was "a real triple backflipper" and another guy wasn't because of the type of trampoline then you see where my confusion lies.
@@mattphillips7349 no shit genius. you know how much food 400g of protein is? Are you gonna eat 3.5 lbs of chicken in 8 hours? Will your body process all that within that 8 hour window? It goes deeper than you can probably explain cunt. Fuck off.
So this guy is hating band shirts , and talking about real 1000 pound benchers... While using a different shirt to bench 1000 pounds Bench them raw or shut and stop hating band shirts
Dave: I don't hate bandy shirts Also Dave: Fuck your 1000lb bandy shirt press I love this lmao. Had to know that question was gonna get a good rise outta him! That being said though, the day he goes full unlimited and throws a 4ply F8 on we're gonna see the first 3500+ total for sure.
Best quote ever I don’t care if there is a building over there , as long as there is no Loui Simmons there is no westside barbel ~Dave Hoff~
Not sure why this guy gets so much hate on the internet...seems like a smart guy, and down to earth. Great video. 👍
He gets hate? Lol
@@AbesamisM it’s mostly about his squat depth he gets hate on. I don’t understand tho blame the fed or judges not him he doesn’t white light himself
People don't like multi ply and instead of just moving on they want to be little babies
I agree with the comments above.
Personally, the hate for Dave, in my opinion, is unwarranted. Seems like a really good guy.
If you’re the best at what you do, you will always get hate.
Im sure that eddy coan got some hate in his day, Ronnie Coleman towards the end got hate, tiger woods, MJ, Phelps, Tyson, they all got hate. But their greatness outshines the bs, mostly foundation-less hate.
“He who angers you; controls you” Great words to live by!
What a great perspective Hoff has on dealing with loss! Definitely said some things I personally needed to hear! Keep on killin' it Hoff!
Dave’s ability to understand auto-regulation is probably a huge reason why he’s the best in multiply. It’s interesting to hear his thoughts on training.
Hoff is just the realest guy - whenever I feel disassociated from powerlifting or feel as though I’m going mental, Hoff always has a way of making me feel like I’m perfectly sane and helping me understand my own issues.
Very few people will ever cross that 3k total threshold. Were lucky to have this content.
Great guy. I would love to see a meet where Hoff, Bell, Oliveras, and Ray Williams go at it Raw, then the next week they all go Multi ply.
Elitefts sponsor Hoff somehow, this guy is the best and deserves everything in this world.
Like he deserves more exposure, and maybe you could bring him out to do lifting videos together or when you have a guest like Juji, have him there too. Or I think a lot of us would love seeing a table talk with Hoff and Chuck

Dave Tate looking very healthy and lean right now. 👌
3103 total. Just monstrous!
Loving the podcasts lately
Their is very few people who I stop and listen to. Dave Hoff is one of them...
Hoff dropping wisdom! I needed this.
I competed for 5 years, single ply and raw. Geared lifting was FAR more difficult on both a technical and physical level. I hated it! AHHHH, the ruptured blood vessels in my eyes and face after a heavy geared squat session 😆
He is the GOAT of geared equipped powerlifting. 🐐
Mendy impression was spot on 😂
Awesome podcast. Really appreciate Daves openness!
Always a great and honest podcast with the hoff !!
Damn boys, this is a great one. Thank you.

This was awesome to read! Glad you have been converted haha! Thanks for watching brother
He is one of the GOAT's for sure, one hell of a resume!
Thanks Dave!
Incredible podcast! Thank you.
The Longhorn lunch chicken sandwich and burgers are great. I went and tried them shortly after I heard his recommendation! Definitely go try them
scott mendelson voice is spot on. haha!
Sorry to hear about your father Hoff. My paternal grandfather died at 36 of a heart attack due to agent Orange exposure.
Multiply is ridiculous, and that is why I love it.
I hope they end up getting Jon Hamm or Michael C Hall for WPO documentary. Very solid voices
The “Hoffster” 👍👍
Hofff is awesome
“I’m not sponsored by Longhorn…but I would be if I could be “
On the first discussion - I can remember (years before I switched to multiply) a friend made the jump from raw.
Asked him why and his response was along the lines of "Raw is just genetics and drugs, and my genetics suck. At least in gear there's a chance everyone else bombs".
Raw, genetics (strength) + PEDs
Multi ply, how much mass you can cram into a suit + neurological drive + PEDs
perfect love this guy. anytime i see his face i wanna go bench. lol
Also, when Hoff discusses the death of his dad (his dog and Louie, too), that's some real life takeaway that's valid outside of power/weightlifting and applies to anyone. This was a really good interview. Thanks for sharing this one.
"5% increments are roughly 50lbs", that's a tremendous figure
Thank you Gentlemen!
Fk yes Longhorn!! 🙌🙌🙌 We know 😂
If you've ever truly fried your central nervous system, you know the hell it is to recover from. It takes a lot of care and a lot of reprogramming. And the cost is very high.
What are some of the telltale signs of your CNS being fried?
“There’s no solution in indecision” - Dave Tate
Agree 100%. If you order a steak well done, just get a burger instead man. What’s the point 😂

How tall is Hoff?
Screw it give us lord of the rings length for the documentary

How do you fast and still get 300-400g of protien
Whenever you're out of your fast, you consume 300-400 grams of protein. Complicated, I know.

Bench them raw or shut and stop hating band shirts
EXACTLY
Who are you again? Lol
WHY THE BOMBOCLAAT THIS PAGE CAA COME OFF ME FEED
😎
All geared up though
Take a shot evertime Dave says auto-regulation. The most overused term in powerlifting. It's called listening to your body!
I watched hoff squat raw once and he struggled with 455.
Dave: I don't hate bandy shirts
Also Dave: Fuck your 1000lb bandy shirt press
I love this lmao. Had to know that question was gonna get a good rise outta him! That being said though, the day he goes full unlimited and throws a 4ply F8 on we're gonna see the first 3500+ total for sure.
