In today's 203rd episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk podcast (#DTTTP), guests Jim Wendler, Matt Rhodes, and Vincent Dizenzo sit down.
Jim Wendler is one of the first employees 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.
Matt Rhodes began his coaching career in football at the University of Richmond and later interned for Buddy Morris at the University of Pittsburgh. After eight years as a personal trainer, he returned to the collegiate ranks as a strength and conditioning coach with stops at Yale, the University at Albany, and the University of Rhode Island as an assistant. Rhodes oversaw the strength and conditioning program at Morehead State University for eight years. He is currently the head strength and conditioning coach at Gravette High School in Gravette, Arizona, where he has been tasked to build the program from scratch.
As a self-coached athlete, Vincent Dizenzo held an all-time world record in the bench press and was a top-ten-ranked lifter for over a decade. He has benched 600 or more raw in three different weight classes and has a 900-equipped bench. Now Vincent is focused on becoming a more fit version of himself. With his undertaking of Operation Be Less Fat, Vincent has lost over 100 pounds. Through this journey, he continues to provide invaluable advice on training, nutrition, and conditioning.

| 0:00.0 | All right, guys, I'd like to thank today's sponsor Merrick Health. |
| 0:03.6 | If you've been following the podcast for a while, you'll know that Merrick was the first |
| 0:08.6 | company to step up and help support the Table Talk podcast. |
| 0:12.0 | You guys are selecting Merrick for your telehealth platform needs, but it also tells me that |
| 0:20.5 | they're providing the service that you're all looking |
| 0:24.6 | for. They have a couple different ways that they go about doing this. The first is through a self-selected |
| 0:32.8 | experience. So you go to the link in the description box. There's a table talk panel, which is the full panel. |
| 0:40.1 | That would be the panel that I personally get twice a year, but probably is more suggested to get |
| 0:45.6 | that full panel once a year. That's checking everything. Optimal performance, longevity, |
| 0:51.6 | health, hormones, you name it, it's all there. The other panel is a checkup |
| 0:56.6 | panel. You don't need to have the full panel every single time you have blood. I get my blood work |
| 1:02.3 | done on a quarterly basis. So once a year there's a full panel, sometimes there's even more than that. |

| 1:16.9 | care coordinator will meet with you to determine what your needs are, what you're looking for. |
| 1:23.0 | Anything to be able to help optimize your health or mitigate without judgment like you would have if you go to see your physician. Now, you're going to be able to help optimize your health or mitigate without judgment like you would have if you |
| 1:29.9 | go to see your physician now. So the discount code again is table talk. The link is in the description |
| 1:37.6 | box, MerriCal, for all your hormone optimization and performance needs. The Swiss Symposium, 2023. Yes, we are bringing this |
| 1:47.4 | back to Columbus again. The date is October 20 and 21. Columbus, Ohio, Hilton, it's the same |
| 1:55.8 | location it was last year. If you head over to the website, there's a big banner that links directly to Swiss. |
| 2:02.5 | There's also a link in the description box. So you can see who the presenters are as we are |
| 2:08.2 | booking them for the symposium. The symposium has been going on for 20 years. It's, in my opinion, |
