In this 140th podcast episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk, Travis Ortmayer takes a seat.
Travis Ortmayer is a professional strongman who has competed in eight world championships. In 2010, Travis broke his ankle, placing fifth at World's Strongest Man. The injury led to opioid addiction and tragically escalated to crystal meth. After a 10-year hiatus (a record for most years between WSM appearances), stripped of strength and muscle, Travis returned to the World's Strongest Man in 2021.
