I sat down with Cailer Woolam while he was in town and we knocked out this Podcast.

Tell me again how backward the sport is moving?⁣

In this episode of Table Talk Podcast, Dave Tate sits down with Cailer Woolam — a 220-pound powerlifter with a 950-pound deadlift. Listen to how he makes training a priority at 4 a.m.

Massenomic's made a Powerlifting Rookie card with me. Several questions popped up after this posted so I made this short video to address them.
