    Love the show
    Love the show have since getting into powerlifting bc of west side vs the world (my pumping iron lol) and I love the varied and intelligent guests Dave has on and all he has done for the lifting and specifically the powerlifting communities. Also I think it’s the wrong Dave tate in the artist image lol

    All Talk. Hardly any Substance
    Really! You guys could condense your podcast down to 20 minutes. Tons of talk with hardly any substance.
  • Benjamin$
    Dave is the man
    Fantastic podcast covering it all in the field of Strength. Dave is an amazing interviewer asking questions that always lead the show into something interesting.

    If you train, follow this podcast
    No fluff material, no garbage . This podcast is where the big boys, and girls play. If Dave interviews them , then you should listen to what they have to say because they are the real deal!

    Amazing

    5 stars
    The amount of knowledge / info ranges from training, nutrition, life, etc is straight up mind boggling EliteFTS >>>>

    Thank you Dave
    I’ve followed Dave’s business and lifting career for 25 years. He spoke to me on the phone when I was trying to figure out how to move from PL to strongman in the late 90’s. I am in that silent majority who is still listening, grinding, learning to train… thank you Dave! I’m 40 years under the bar and I’m still learning.
  • Ryan Burnham
    Dave does all the talking
    I listened to a few episodes to hear specific guests that I like and the whole episode was Dave rambling and doing about 75% of the talking. The host should only do about 10% of the talking.
  • catholicdavis
    Love this podcast
    Straight talk about what it takes to be great at what ever you want to do. Entertaining guests and great stories.
  • mambathegr8
    Awesome
    I learned a lot from listening to dave. It made me mentally stronger in and out of the gym. Excited for listen to more guest he has in his show.
  • derivative_fx
    Runs commercials over the interview….
    So annoying, tried listening to the Jon Hackk podcast and these shameless people literally run advertisements over the interview. Absurd and never coming back
  • Patrick Idaho
    great podcast!
    Thanks Dave
  • Dchat500
    Every episode
    The podcast has always gotten better as time goes on. This season is the best yet. The guests are amazing and Dave has gotten excellent at interviewing and talking to the guests and asking all the right questions. Thank you Dave!

    Frankl Episode
    Table Talk is the working history of the extreme era of powerlifting. Dave is great at bringing out the human side of such extraordinary lifters of this era. Shawn was a great lifter and forged his way into becoming a great man!

    Awesome Resource
    I don’t listen to each episode as it comes out, nor do I listen to all episodes. I doubt few do. I do listen as I have time and do TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LISTEN TO VERY SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE EXPLAIN WHAT THEY THINK MADE THEM SUCCESSFUL. There is a wider breadth of information here than just POWERLIFTING LEGENDS and their training philosophies. The show on Autism and letter boards might sound far afield for Table Talk, but it remains one of the more impactful and educational for me personally. A lot of podcasts in this genre put out content on a schedule, and if that content is of little more value than bad morning radio, so be it. You don’t get that here. The guests are top notch and the discussions are educational.

    Extremely Informative Podcast
    My favorite part is the diversity of people Dave interviews on the podcast, ranging from old Westside guys, competitive strongman or bodybuilders, to current strength & conditioning coaches. The podcast gives a lot of variety so that you know you are getting unbiased knowledge, first hand, from a wide range of sources! Unrelated to the podcast itself. After hearing about Marek Health and frankly fast forwarding through the “commercial” a handful of times, I finally decided to check them out and the Table Talk panel is BY FAR the most comprehensive panel I have ever seen and is significantly more thorough than anything my doctor has ever ordered. As I get older the concept of hormone optimization and longevity is becoming more important and I just ordered my labs with Marek Health to start their guided process. Great podcast, and true to Dave’s motto of life learn and pass on!
  • Hotelfishboy
    Great podcast
    Every time I listen to the podcast I take away some info. It a great learning resource and entertaining at the same time. Dave also provides in some episodes the spark to start searching out new ways to train, better exercise variations etc. good stuff!
  • Zach Even - Esh
    Learning from REAL LIFTERS & Coaches!!!
    I was lucky enough to come across Dave’s website in 2002, his website changed my life because he introduced me to people who are doing this because they bled Iron! Dave’s conversations bring me back to keeping it real & sticking to what REALLY WORKS. Looking forward to the next season! Update: This podcast keeps on getting better, super grateful how Dave brings these guests on, they going to some deep conversation and you can’t help but be inspired every time you listen
  • B.Nuzzolese
    Only one negative
    Love the show. Definitely has an independent voice in the genre. However, my biggest criticism is that often guests are difficult to hear. The sound level of JM and Mike Israetel was pretty bad. With your show I have to have it max volume with no background noise. Definitely keep up the hard work, really enjoy the content.

    Best podcast for lifters and coaches
    I’m a lifter and a coach of a group of newer powerlifters. I can’t express enough how valuable all the information Mr. Tate and his guess share has been to me and therefore my clients. But I think the best and most unique aspect of Mr. Tate is his was of expressing how the answers to most questions aren’t purely black and white but very nuanced. There are many ways to success and no matter how knowledgeable you are you can learn valuable things from all different types of people. Listening to Dave Tate has increased my desire to keep learning and not instantly dismiss things that don’t fit into my bias. Huge thank you to everyone at elitefts for clearly spending so much time and effort for free to educate others.

  • Pearl River Fan
    Must listen for anyone who strength trains
    Consistently excellent content.

    Dave’s Dropping Serious Truth Bombs
    So many lifters need listen to this so.
  • MD839
    Truly the best podcast on strength!
    Season three has been one of the best— if not the best— runs of podcasts on strength and training that have ever been produced. I’ve listened to them all, so I’m not saying that lightly. The guests are all legends in their respective fields and lanes, and Dave clearly comes prepared with excellent questions. It’s a pleasure to listen.
  • J Wagstaff
    Amazing content
    Best place to find out information on training, giving back, and being the best at what you can do. Dave and who he invites on give great examples of how to train more effectively and even great life advice.
  • outstandingbigdog
    Essential listen for anyone who is serious about lifting or training for sports, life etc.
    Nothing else needs to be said. Listen, learn and tell others about it.
  • LucasH1223
    Great podcast with useful information for all levels
    Great podcast for information that transcends simply weight lifting. Provides great insights to just living a great life
  • BiggsyMA65
    Great
    Great show with good variety of guests. I learn something every time Dave talks.
  • KYoldtimer
    Big fan of the AMA’s
    Big fan of all of Dave’s content, particularly the AMA’s and washed-up meathead tips.
  • Lockdown_Strength
    Full of fun and knowledge
    Dave Tate is a legend and lives the motto “Live, Learn, and Pass on.” Always giving out free lessons that help in and out of the gym. Give Table Talk a listen, it’s well worth your time.
  • Antb13
    This podcast changed my life.
    I’m not joking or exaggerating. Initially I began listening because I wanted to learn more about training. In the process this show facilitated many strategies and ideas that affected my life far beyond lifting.
  • r_o_w_a_n
    So informative and entertaining
    I’ve taken so much from this podcast so far and I know I’ll take more in the future. It’s also just genuinely enjoyable to listen to.
  • smoothglider
    A bit of everything
    Each episode covers a number of different lifting topics from mindset, to nutrition, to training intensity, and exercise variations. It's all valuable. I've been lifting for ten years, competing for five, and I always learn at least five new things each episode. I love it.
  • charlie.haskell
    Hidden wisdom.
    I cannot recommend this podcast enough. Dave is humble, and one of the most knowledgeable people in the industry. Everyone should listen to this.
  • ChucklingSkeleton
    Live, learn pass on!
    Heard Dave talk about getting feedback on the pod, I’m an active listener hope it still continues!
  • JDMorgan4
    Best powerlifting/strength podcast
    Amazing podcast. Leaving a review to show Dave the content in this podcast is helpful and appreciated.
  • this isn't Steve
    Love it
    Dave is a wealth of information. Whether it’s practical application of strength and conditioning or old meathead stories, it’s always entertaining. Out of all the sports performance podcasts I listen to 3 and this is 1 of them.
  • majormath019
    Top Tier
    Excellent for all fitness levels from competitive athletes, to General Population, even people just thinking about getting into it. Entertaining and informative - I get as many laughs as I do information
  • Scielth
    Best fitness podcast out there.
    Some are very informative and others are very entertaining with good friends joking around. One of the few podcasts out there that will straight up saw they don’t know an answer or give multiple answers to questions too generic. Seriously listen to these and go watch their videos and then try to listen to another podcast where advice is given. You’ll have a hard time with those others after listening to this awesome podcast
  • AJT0228
    One of my favs
    I love the training and philosophical focus of this podcast.The fact that I can walk away from every podcast learning something new about training as well as ways to improve my mindset and approach to life is what keeps me tuned in!
  • greg, Coram NY
    Thank you!
    I could never thank Elitefts enough. I have been following them for over a decade and got all the info and knowledge I could ever need to pursue strength... for free. Just when I thought they couldn’t get any cooler, they now drop this amazing podcast. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Please everyone- go to their website and buy something.
  • DanEg2021
    Amazing
    I love this Podcast and I never go longer than a week without listening to it. I can't recommend this podcast enough.
  • green7350
    Dave Tate’s the best.
    An absolute legend in the industry.
  • Awebster54
    Table talk is the best
    Dave Tate is a legend. Love the content! Can’t get enough. Highly recommend to anyone serious about training.
  • Tim_Tilson
    Best of the Best
    I listen to a lot of strength and nutrition content providers and hands down Dave Tate and his team put the best material out there specific to powerlifters, or anybody for that matter, that wants to get bigger and stronger. I recommend anyone that is an intermediate lifter and above listen to this podcast if you want to take your training to the next level because it’s one of, if not THE, best sources of information for strength training on the Internet.
  • HVACandLIFT
    Amazing insight
    Love the podcast. Not just for the lifting info, but the wisdom and life lessons as well. Thank you.
  • TPT36
    Great Podcast
    Have listened to most of these, great stuff. Whether it is Dave, guests, or otherwise the content is outstanding. Old school stories and training methods with new equipment and ideas pumped out for all to hear. New or washed up meatheads can find something productive for themselves!
  • Guts151
