Jim Wendler and Jason Pegg take a seat in this 189th podcast episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk.
Jim Wendler is the first employee of elitefts. He is worldly known as the creator and author of the 5/3/1 Training Program. Jim played football and graduated from the University of Arizona, where he was a three-time letter winner. Wendler went on to squat 1000 pounds in competition and is an accomplished Elite Lifter with a 2,375 pound total. He serves the London, Ohio, community as a strength coach at London High School.
Jason Pegg was blown up in Afghanistan, spending 18 months in the military hospital. As a collegiate football player before the Army, it was after his arm was shattered by a roadside bomb in 2005 (his second tour) that he squatted 1000 pounds as a sponsored athlete for elitefts. Jason claims he's most famous for g** p*** with Jim Wendler.
