After years of abuse on my body doing powerlifting and venturing to strongman caused me some issues. As a firefighter now I struggle to try to lose weight because I’m 300 and still have the muscle mass from competing but being 300 plus as a firefighter sucks big time

[@mikehinson5935]

Spot on Matt. I’m 23 yrs deep on the fire truck and boy does your body take a beating. We are expected to preform for 30 years!! It’s to damn long and should be outlawed. I did 2 jobs for 15 years on the side too. Sure as hell can’t do what I could do from 25-35. Now 45 and 4 operations on both shoulders and knees. You are so right about getting guys to buy into longevity!!! Most eat like shit and have no clue how to train. I wish I would have never trained with weights like a mad man too!! Not many around to teach like you. As I lay here at the station popping Celebrex cause I’m wrecked.

I stack shelves and lifting helps me keep in healthy condition

[@mikeanthony5206]

Probably one of the most informative Table Talk podcasts, and that’s saying a lot with some of the people Dave has had on.

[@samuelgardner5939]

Matt's so damn smart. Love hearing how he approaches training different populations.

[@lancemartin2513]

I love how the people Dave has on talk about the importance of longevity. I don't hear any of the people who train solely for aesthetics talk about continuing to train in your 50's and beyond.

[@young_herc]

It's not about aesthetics vs strength, it's about understanding bodily function as a whole. Bodybuilders, fitness models, it doesn't matter - any resistance training athlete needs just as much attention to their longevity

[@anthonyluisi7096]

Nobody talks about this …longevity … thank you Matt and Dave …

[@JuicyOcelot]

So awesome hearing this conversation. I work in the tactical setting with H2F. All thus is true.

[@bugballsy8569]

0:27 I’m an ER nurse and deadlift 700 squat 515, when we transfer patients over the medics and firefighters are like “ooooohhhkaaay ya ready?”
Then I just lift them up and put them on the gurney.
FF: “woah”

[@networkthrift9163]

Matt Wenning is giving the best training information on TH-cam in my opinion

[@LeeH3nson]

Matts big on longevity, really enjoyed this podcast, nice seeing matt in a nice mood 🤣

[@mustang8206]

There's a firefighter at my gym who doesn't powerlift for the reason you mentioned. He's got to be able to do a physical job until he's able to ready and he said he doesn't want to risk injury

[@WenningStrength]

That’s the wrong mindset

[@BigSheaux]

I’m a first responder for 15 yrs. Being a patrol deputy I was more in shape then I am now sitting behind a desk a majority of the day as a detective! I gotta save myself before it’s too late

[@pizzawuff1773]

I'd start with calisthenics, it's a great way to get into it and you can do them anywhere. It's a fun rabbit hole to jump down when finding new exercises or learning the forms / techniques. Keep in mind, Slow and perfect-form routines. If you're too good might be worth it to get some resistance bands to make the movements harder. 💪🐺🔥
Best tip: Find that goal or reason to pursue fitness. Wish you the best bruther 🔥💯🔥

[@BigSheaux]

@@pizzawuff1773 appreciate the advice bro! ✊🏼

[@P60B40]

Get a workout in before or after your shift or like the other guy said do some calisthenics. 30 minutes a day is decent enough for some maintenance

[@BigSheaux]

@@P60B40 what’s crazy is when I was on patrol it seems like I had more time to go to the gym working 12 hr shifts cause I did a 2/3 split schedule now I work 8 hr days but mon-Friday.

[@DantheSavageProject]

Thanks!

[@011keepers]

Wow, that is a lot of valuable information

[@huntertaylor8328]

Would love to hear Matt’s comments on Corrections. And Job specific training for them.

[@milfmuncher6962]

25,000 to 30,000 steps a day. And cycling 🚴‍♀️. It keeps super lean and your stamina is athlete mode year round. Weight room slows you down work on your boxing skills power KO shots.

[@alanevans4198]

Love this content. I want to thank y’all for doing what you you do. With that said who’s paying firefighters or paramedics 100000/year

[@coachfoulds3798]

Overtime!

[@mattwenning2164]

Top pay scale around here is 90k plus

[@sirisrex7542]

pulling a morbidly obese patient out of an apartment building when the stretcher can't fit in the elevator = permanent back issues for many a first responder
