Great catching up with Justin. Where has he been? What was he up to? What is he doing now? All this and more...

Dave Tate sits down with bodybuilding contest prep guru Justin Harris, who helped bring Dave down to single-digit body fat levels — a feat few people thought possible.

What is the optimal number of times per week a lifter should train?

Just another night in the gym.

The takeaway is, regardless of the position, you always need to be building your skills or you will be demoted, replaced or go out of business. ⁣

In this episode of Table Talk Podcast, Dave Tate is hosting solo once more and has plenty to say about a variety of subjects, such as JM Blakley not knowing how to use the Internet and things he's learned in his training career, and more.

I will not do this for any less or more than 4 people per session. NO EXCEPTIONS

We want our members training with the BEST equipment which is why we keep both our gyms fully loaded with @elitefts! Our loyalty & respect to that company made the decision easy to put a mural of @underthebar up for some added motivation!

They were serious, hardcore and Powerlifting IS Life. If you have been around more than a decade think of how often we see this cycle.

Your actions in how you help others is what really gets remembered.

While Dave's AWOL, Jim Wendler, Matt Rhodes, and Vincent Dizenzo fill in and answer questions. This question (what lifts are you most proud of?) sparks a conversation about coaching and fond memories this trio of friends shared and are now sharing with you.

What has changed between the interview in 2007 to the one we just posted?

I just realized I have been teaching the Box Squat for over 20 years. The video in this post with Matt Smith was posted first in 99 - taken down and reloaded in 2000. These 20 years do not include all the seminars before we filmed the one with Matt for the Seminar VHS set (yep, before DVD's). First that is a lot of box squats. Second I can only think of 3 injuries I have personally seen from box squatting; One groin tear, One quad tendon and one torn bicep because the lifter dumped the bar on the spotter.

Almost everything you will ever need to know about the Maximal Effort Method.

Alwyn Cosgrove made quite the splash at the SSTSS 2019 event, so it's only natural we'd have him sit down with Dave... plus, we have a couple of other guests joining Dave and Alwyn. Any guesses? Their last name starts with ant and ends in O...

Well, I got a butter dish and filled it up with water. I put an apple in the middle of it and put it into the freezer overnight.

Believe it or not, Cailer Woolam gets a lot of questions about why he's not gaining weight to break more records. But at age 24, he's got plenty of time and work ahead of him.

I really had a good time with this Podcast. It's rare that a Podcast host does research and formulates a theme and questions as Leslie does. The other cool part of this is we recorded it all as a table talk. In this post you can listen to both versions.
