Summary
In this 123rd episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk, Dave answers YOUR questions that you asked on his Instagram post. Historically, the roots of the show (before guests became a thing) began with Dave answering your questions. Dave covers various topics relating to powerlifting (all levels), strength training, programming, recovery, business, motivation, Westside Barbell, nutrition, and more!
Some specific questions he'll be answering (gathered from May, too) include:
- What's too much weight for dynamic work?
- How can I stop shaking when I bench?
- Where do I start as a beginner (conjugate, block, linear)?
- When should I deload?
- How has Dave's coaching evolved over time?
- Can we train at elitefts?
- Does Dave still visualize?
- And more!

| 0:55.9 | we've had somebody guest. So I put this one together for that reason. Here I am stumbling |
