Hey guys, welcome to episode number 386 of the Industrial Strength Show.

As you probably already saw in the title, Dave Tate is joining me here today after a

seven-year hiatus we realized it's been seven years since he's been on the podcast.

But today he makes his return to the Industrial Strength Show.

And I know you guys are going to enjoy this conversation.

You know, Dave is someone that, man, we go back well over 20 years.

I have known Dave.

I met Dave before I even started my business before DeFranco's gym, before DeFranco's

training systems, I knew Dave.

And he was someone that I looked up to and really consider a mentor, especially early

in my career, not only training-wise, and I've learned a ton from Dave training-wise,

but business-wise as well, when I started my business, you know, during those early

years, you don't know what the hell you're doing.

Anytime I had a problem, anytime I had a question, he was one of the first people that

I turned to, and he'd always pick up the phone, always offer advice, and very helpful

advice.

I might add, and that's something that I've never forgotten, and anytime I get a chance

to sit down and talk shop with Dave, I just, I love it.

I mean, you're talking about three plus decades involved in powerlifting, as both a world

class lifter and a coach slash consultant.
