This is Power Athlete Radio.

With your host, Denny K.

Professor Bouti, and V. Luke Summers.

And now, toes forward, hips locked, shoulders set, and retract those scampulas.

It's time for some knowledge bombs.

Hey everyone. Thanks for tuning into Power Athlete Radio.

We have an amazing two-parter coming at you from Power Athlete HQ.

The reason for this extended episode is none other than wealth of knowledge, Mr. Dave Tate.

Dave is a former competitive powerlifter and, of course, the founder and CEO of Elite FTS. John, Bobby, and Dave caught up at the recent Elite FTS summit in Ohio several weeks back.

Hear them recap their thoughts about some of the speakers, content, and general experience from

that weekend. Next, Dave makes no bones about not really being a coach.

A true example of putting ego aside,

he notes that his strength lies in nerding out about training philosophy

and its transference to how we operate in our daily lives.

Dave explains how he continues to be baffled

by a competitive lifter's ability to go all in in the weight room, but lack the discipline to succeed outside of it.

This has been the driving force for several books, hundreds of articles, and a very busy public speaking schedule.

Towards the end of part one with Mr. Tate, We talk about training setbacks and several tips he recommends

to overcome them. The words move the dirt definitely come to mind here. And finally, we hear those

sage words of wisdom intended for anyone still holding on to their athlete glory days.

One of your Power Athlete Radio hosts regularly records from his sanctuary, aka his office, aka The Head.
