Welcome to another podcast episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk. Today's guest is Ilya Khazov.

Ilya Khazov, born in Russia and a long-term resident of Cyprus, has made a significant mark in strongman competitions. He set a Guinness world record on Italian TV for rope jumping while holding an 80kg anvil, a challenge he prepared for with rigorous training that now forms part of his weekly routine.

Ilya competed in multiple Strongman Champions League (SCL) events in 2022, achieving notable placements and setting records, such as lifting a 360kg front loader in Finland. Despite suffering serious injuries, including a career-threatening bicep tear, he remains focused on competing at the highest levels, including the upcoming World's Strongest Man.

Ilya's athletic endeavors extend beyond strongman competitions to martial arts and professional paintball, where his team placed third in Europe. When not competing, he enjoys playing competitive PC games and solving escape rooms with his wife, Lily.

In this 285th podcast episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk, Matt Reynolds takes a seat.

Matt Reynolds is on a mission to help strength coaches and personal trainers turn in the keys to the gym and reclaim their life by embracing an online coaching business model.

With 25 years of experience competing at a high level in strength sports and coaching barbell-based strength and conditioning, Matt transitioned from the classroom to the world of business ownership in 2008 when he founded STRONG Gym in Springfield, MO. Matt honed his business and customer service acumen, and STRONG quickly became one of the strongest and largest strength gyms in the country.

Matt sold STRONG Gym in 2015 to turn his attention to the broader audience of online coaching and has since helped grow Barbell Logic into one of the largest online strength and nutrition coaching companies in the world.

Needing to better serve their clients and coaches with superior service compared to what third-party applications could offer, Barbell Logic developed its own proprietary platform to manage an online coaching business, TurnKey Coach. Today, Matt’s focus is on redefining traditional personal training by creating connections in the online space to give anyone with smartphone access to a personal, professional strength and nutrition coach, forging opportunities for the world to experience a life improved by strength.

In this 275th episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk, Jaden Lacaria, Nydir Hayden, and Josh Gallone join us. Welcome, Jaden, Nydir, and Josh!

Jaden Lacaria has been competing in powerlifting for six years in both multi-ply and raw categories, achieving multiple pro totals in the 198 weight class for each style. His best lifts in the raw 198 category are a 830-pound squat, 450-pound bench press, and 678-pound deadlift. Formerly, he trained at Westside Barbell under Louie Simmons. In addition to powerlifting, Jaden has competed in bodybuilding for two years, with a highlight second place finish at the 2021 NPC North Americans. He aspires to secure his IFBB pro card at this year's NPC North Americans in Pittsburgh, PA. In 2022, Jaden faced a significant setback, tearing both quad tendons and undergoing five surgeries due to a MRSA infection. He now works full-time as an online coach for powerlifting and bodybuilding, traveling across the country to coach at meets and shows. Jaden holds a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in Sports Coaching from The Ohio State University.

Nydir Hayden, a 28-year-old Philadelphia native from Germantown, has been an Advanced EMT in the city's 911 system for nine years and is a father of two. Throughout his youth, he engaged in various sports including football, track, boxing, and martial arts. Nydir began powerlifting in 2017 after being introduced to the sport by a colleague in the fire department. Under the guidance of his coach, Jaden, he transitioned his focus to achieving a professional total and an all-time world record (ATWR) squat at 82.5kg/181lbs. Over the past two years, Nydir has competed in three professional meets, securing best lifter honors and a pro total. He concluded 2023 with a 771-pound squat, the highest wrapped squat in his weight class and ranking him 19th all-time in the 181-pound category.

Josh Gallone, 28, resides in the suburbs of Philadelphia and is a family man with a wife and one-year-old son. He started powerlifting in his senior year of high school, driven by the desire to build strength after recovering from an accidental shooting injury.

In this 270th podcast episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk, Eric Bugenhagen takes a seat.

Eric Bugenhagen is a dynamic powerhouse whose electrifying journey has taken him from dominating the wrestling mats as a Wisconsin state champion to captivating audiences worldwide in WWE and igniting the fitness community on YouTube with his extraordinary feats of strength (and humor).

A Wisconsin native, Bugenhagen carved his niche early on as a formidable wrestler, becoming a Wisconsin state wrestling champion. His prowess on the mat led him to the University of Wisconsin, where he not only competed for the Wisconsin Badgers Wrestling team but also served as its captain, achieving a notable rank of #4 in the country at one point. After his competitive days on the mat concluded, Bugenhagen transitioned into a vital role behind the scenes as a strength coach for the Wisconsin Badgers wrestling team for two years, imparting his knowledge and expertise to upcoming athletes.

Expanding his impact in the realm of strength and conditioning, Bugenhagen took his talents to NX Level, a renowned training facility where he worked with professional athletes, including the likes of JJ Watt. He also served as the strength coach for Brookfield Academy athletics, further establishing his reputation in sports performance training.

Bugenhagen's athletic career took an exciting turn when he joined WWE, where he was featured weekly on SmackDown in 2021. Unfortunately, his promising trajectory in professional wrestling was interrupted by a significant injury, a blown patellar tendon, which sidelined him from in-ring competition.

In this 266th podcast episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk, Chris McGrail takes a seat.

Chris McGrail is a 45-year-old former athlete from Staten Island, New York, with a diverse background in sports and a distinguished military career. He found his athletic calling in track and field, becoming a city champion in long jump and triple jump. McGrail's athletic journey led him to the United States Military Academy at West Point after high school, where an injury diverted his path from track to powerlifting.

Graduating from West Point with degrees in Engineering Management and Mechanical Engineering, McGrail also became a certified Army Master Fitness Trainer. His military service took him to Fort Benning and into the heart of combat during the Iraq invasion in 2003, where his service earned him the Bronze Star and Presidential Unit Citation. The aftermath of war left him with PTSD and severe health challenges, but also fueled his success in powerlifting.

With over 20 years as a strength coach and 24 years of competing in powerlifting, McGrail has coached soldiers and elite athletes, achieving significant success as an athlete himself, setting numerous records and winning gold medals. Despite medical setbacks and a warning from a surgeon that he would never lift again, McGrail defied the odds, continuing to compete at high levels and setting ambitious goals.

Holding a Master of Science in Sport and Fitness and an MBA, his career includes roles in sports promotion and management, and he is currently the Utah State Chairman for the USPA. McGrail has directed national and world championship powerlifting meets and maintains a limited client roster for training due to his commitments as a father, husband, business owner, and advocate for using powerlifting to overcome PTSD. He is also an executive at a protein supplement company.

In today's 265th episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk podcast, guest Matt Wenning sits down.

In this episode, Matt and Dave discuss kidney function and health (delving into Matt's recent stem cell treatment in Cabo), business, the 70% rule, and much more!

Matt Wenning is a three-time world champion powerlifter. He has directed over 6000 troops in strength, conditioning, and wellness for the U.S. Army, including Infantry and Ranger Divisions. He holds a Masters Degree in Biomechanics and a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from Ball State University.

Matt grew up in Indiana, raised by a hard-working, middle-class family. His mother was a nurse, and his father was a Marine and truck driver. When he was six years old, Matt was hit by a car going 50 mph, which took a toll on his physical development. After undergoing 12 months of full leg casts and 12 months in a boot, his legs were underdeveloped.

Four years later, Matt discovered lifting. It allowed him to see he was capable of anything, despite what he had gone through during recovery from his injuries. Then, when Matt was 13, his father passed away due to cancer; a result of complications from agent orange. That's when he started lifting in competitions.

In the beginning, lifting was just a stepping stone to the goal of football. But it became a much larger pathway in his life. Lifting inspired Matt to attain higher education and become a strength coach. He excelled with a 3.9 GPA.

He has been an adviser for the NFL, an international speaker for the NSCA, and a contractor for border patrol, airborne divisions, and the pentagon.

Support and help the Podcast grow by Joining The Crew: https://whop.com/tabletalkcrew/

In this 254th episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk, Jesse Ackerman joins us. Welcome, Jesse!

As the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach for the DC Defenders and the St. Louis Battlehawks during the XFL's 2022-2023 relaunch, Jesse Ackerman orchestrated simultaneous strength programs leading to triumphant seasons. Notably, the Defenders clinched a championship game appearance, with several players seamlessly transitioning to NFL rosters under his direct guidance.

From 2016 to 2020, Jesse served as the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach for the Atlanta Falcons in the NFL. His integrative approach, blending activation methods, biomechanical analysis, diverse strength modalities, speed development, and sport-specific movement refinement, significantly contributed to the optimal performance of numerous NFL players.

A testament to his methods, a 2019 analysis by Weiss and Paarz Medical Malpractice Attorneys revealed the Falcons as the least injured NFL team during Jesse's three-year tenure. "Total Games Lost" decreased by 10%, and "Injured Reserve" by 12%, solidifying his impact.

Jesse's commitment to excellence extends beyond the NFL. His tenure as a Performance Coach with the 75th Ranger Regiment 1st Battalion showcased his prowess in preparing soldiers for deployment and bridging physical therapy to performance for those recovering from injury. He also crafted a regeneration manual for rangers deployed in challenging environments.

In the collegiate arena from 2007-2015, Jesse's impact reverberated through NCAA Division I Power 5 schools. Notably, he developed the A.R.M. System during this period, initially benefiting quarterbacks and later adapted for law enforcement and military personnel. His versatility as a Football Strength and Conditioning Coach included roles at the University of Florida, The University of Texas, and Iowa State University, where he influenced athletes across multiple sports.

Jesse's coaching journey commenced in 2001, leaving an indelible mark at his high school alma mater, Mentor Lake Catholic High School. His inaugural year as Defensive Line Coach culminated in a 2001 OHSAA Division III State Championship.

A Willowick, Ohio native, Jesse's collegiate years at John Carroll University saw him excel as an All-America Defensive Lineman and Team Captain. His commitment to education includes a Master's in Exercise Science from California University of Pennsylvania, a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and a Bachelor's in Education from John Carroll University.

Beyond accolades, Jesse embraces a holistic training philosophy, advocating for methods beyond traditional strength and conditioning. His dynamic career includes clinic presentations nationwide, reflecting his passion for sharing knowledge.

In Winter Garden, FL, Jesse resides with his devoted wife Christine and their son, DC.

Logan Varner is a 28-year-old powerlifter, full-time powerlifting coach, registered respiratory therapist, and the owner of South Side Elite Strength out of Houston, Texas.

Competing since 2012, much of Logan's success as a powerlifter and coach has come from experimenting with and utilizing the conjugate method in various ways for raw lifters.

He currently competes in the 308 raw with wraps class and has a best total of 2220, which is 28th all-time at 308. In the 308 raw with wraps weight class, he ranked top-20 in 2019, top-10 in 2020, top-5 in 2022, and ranks top-10 in 2023.

In 2022, Logan was diagnosed with an extremely rare autoimmune joint disease called Intermittent Hydrarthrosis. This disease causes his knees and elbows to swell for five days in a predictable, pattern-like fashion. Despite this diagnosis and its challenges, he totaled 2182 in July of 2023.

He's looking to beat his best total in 2024.

Aram Grigorian takes a seat in this 232nd podcast episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk. Welcome, Aram!

A former finance douche and party boy, Aram came to the hard realization that it wasn't the material things in his life that drove him but rather the impact that he made on the lives of others in a positive way.

He started personal training people after being laid off from his finance job, and ten years later, he has coached hundreds of clients with his belief system of food quality/quantity, training intensity/frequency and rest/recovery.

He provides food for thought daily on his Instagram page @4weeks2thebeach and he gets clients to release themselves of their limiting beliefs by changing perspective and helping folks see that there are solutions to everything if you want to find them.

He offers full-service coaching, including training programs, nutrition programs, and the mindset work required to tie it all together. He co-hosts the Other Side Lifestyle podcast and hosts an annual educational summit for coaches and lay folks called The Real Coaches Summit.

Chad Aichs is a former world-class powerlifter. He owns Courage Barbell. Having a late start in powerlifting at the age of 27, he rose to be one of the top powerlifters of his day. Chad put up many world-record lifts in amateur and professional powerlifting. At one time, he held the fourth-highest total in history, the highest full meet bench in history, and the fourth-highest squat in history. Chad had a training style that went against the norm, as he was not constrained by the theories that were most popular in the industry.

Anthony Hobaica takes a seat in this 222nd podcast episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk.

Anthony Hobaica has always been relentlessly competitive. He graduated at the top of his class in 2009 from Hobart College as a three-year starter as a running back.

Anthony began competing in powerlifting in 2002 at age 15. He quickly came up the ranks, holding world records in both raw-wrapped and sleeve categories, including three overall Arnold XPC Championships and totaling ten times his body weight in 181 and 198 classes.

In the 2017 Animal Cage, he completed an expo lift (one squat, one bench, and one dead), totaling ten times his body weight in less than 60 seconds.

Anthony has always been a fan of the entire sport of powerlifting, so in 2020 he transitioned into equipped lifting with his eyes set on becoming the lightest man in history to squat over 1000 pounds. In September 2022, he successfully squatted 1010 pounds at 191.5.

When Anthony isn’t competing, he works as a District Sales Manager in the construction industry, overseeing 60+ employees in Nevada, Utah, and Arizona. He and his wife, Melissa own a private gym in Las Vegas, NV, called Back Alley Barbell, where they promote old-school team lifting concepts in both raw and geared powerlifting.

Dr. Andrew D. Lock takes a seat in this 216th podcast episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk. Welcome, Andrew!

After graduating from La Trobe University in 1994 as a Physiotherapist, Andrew began working with Sports Medicine Victoria alongside leading shoulder specialist surgeons, medical professionals and being involved in clinical research.

SWIS 2023 - https://www.elitefts.com/elitefts-2023-swis-symposium.html

In today's 208th episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk podcast, guest Matt Wenning sits down.

Matt Wenning is a three-time world champion powerlifter. He has directed over 6000 troops in strength, conditioning, and wellness for the U.S. Army, including Infantry and Ranger Divisions. He holds a Masters Degree in Biomechanics and a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from Ball State University.

Matt grew up in Indiana, raised by a hard-working, middle-class family. His mother was a nurse, and his father was a Marine and truck driver. When he was six years old, Matt was hit by a car going 50 mph, which took a toll on his physical development. After undergoing 12 months of full leg casts and 12 months in a boot, his legs were underdeveloped.

Four years later, Matt discovered lifting. It allowed him to see he was capable of anything, despite what he had gone through during recovery from his injuries. Then, when Matt was 13, his father passed away due to cancer; a result of complications from agent orange. That's when he started lifting in competitions.

In the beginning, lifting was just a stepping stone to the goal of football. But it became a much larger pathway in his life. Lifting inspired Matt to attain higher education and become a strength coach. He excelled with a 3.9 GPA.

He has been an adviser for the NFL, an international speaker for the NSCA, and a contractor for border patrol, airborne divisions, and the pentagon.

Bryce Lewis is a competitive drug-free powerlifter and powerlifting coach with ten years of coaching experience and 13 years of competitive experience at the local, national, and international levels.

His highest in-competition lifts are a 755lb squat, a 490.5lb bench press, and a 799lb deadlift.

Bryce remains a student of the sport with a robust curiosity for all things powerlifting.

Through his coaching organization, The Strength Athlete, he advocates for balanced, effective training plans, healthy attachment to training, and the experience of being an athlete.

In this 197th podcast episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk, Mike Tuchscherer sits down at the table for his second visit.

Mike began coaching in 2004 when he took over as Cadet-in-Charge of the USAFA Powerlifting club. After he graduated in 2007, he wrote about what he had learned in his first book, "The Reactive Training Manual." The book taught lifters how the concept of Rate of Perceived Effort (RPE) could be adapted to lifting. It went on to shape powerlifting and popularize the notion of autoregulated training.

Mike was an early adopter of online coaching for powerlifting and helped to develop that industry. He coached and handled lifters worldwide for the next several years. In 2016, he began developing his "Emerging Strategies" framework—a planning style that systematically determines what a lifter responds best to.

Over the 15+ years, Mike has been coaching. He has coached over 400 lifters. Sixteen of those lifters went on to earn a medal at the IPF Classic World Championships under his guidance. Fourteen lifters have earned World Records.

The founder of Reactive Training Systems, Mike has taught more than 500 athletes and coaches how to make better training decisions. Whether through innovative concepts or ground-level coaching, free online systems or direct teaching, his lifting, or the coaching of others, Mike has inspired countless other powerlifters to individualize their training so that it works best for them.

Support and help the Podcast grow by Joining The Crew:

As a top-ranked super-heavyweight, Chris Janek earned the nickname “Tank.” As a two-time all-state wrestler and an all-state third team all-American football player, he received multiple full-ride scholarship offers, choosing to play football for the University of Wisconsin. During his collegiate football career, Janek was a four-year letter winner and a two-year starter. He was part of four Bowl Games (two Rose Bowls, in which they won).

After college, he furthered his football career with a tryout with the Cleveland Browns and an eight-year career in the now-defunct Arena Football League.

Since 2009, Chris is the owner of Tanks Training Facility in Granite City, Illinois. In 2010, Janek totaled 2660 to win best lifter at the GPC Worlds (in Prague). In 2014, he won first place and best lifter overall at the XPC Finals with a 2725 total.

He had a hereditary issue called aortic valve regurgitation that put his lifting and life on pause. What was supposed to be an easy fix led to four open-heart surgeries, then ultimately a heart transplant.

Dr. Adam Hotchkiss takes a seat in this 186th podcast episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk.

By trade, Dr. Adam Hotchkiss is a podiatric physician and foot and ankle surgeon. HeHe found that 90% of his treatments and recommendations were reactive in medicine. Patients sought treatments from him when a preventable disease had progressed to the point where amputation may be their only choice. Rarely did he have the opportunity to empower healthy patients to prevent disease.

In his personal life, Adam is passionate about human optimization. He's been competitive in CrossFit, powerlifting, and bodybuilding. He aims to enhance his health in every facet: physical, mental, and spiritual. He became a physician with high hopes he would help people do the same.

Given these experiences, Adam has changed his focus to overall human optimization and disease prevention through health coaching. His company Atlas Optimization has partnered with Marek Health, where he takes a holistic approach, utilizing nutrition, exercise, physician collaborations, and in-depth laboratory work to improve systemic markers and overall well-being.

But – after turning his original 500 square foot storage closet into an athletic performance mecca – it suddenly became "in vogue" to own a small garage/warehouse gym. Joe's "gym blueprint" is now the industry standard, and DeFranco's is a globally recognized brand.

Joe is currently focused on educating and inspiring other trainers and gym owners worldwide. He hosts the Industrial Strength Show – a top-ranked weekly podcast dedicated to training for peak performance, mindset, and living your passion. He is also the co-creator of the Certified Physical Preparation Specialist (CPPS) certification course – one of the most respected credentials in the personal training industry today.

In this 136th podcast episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk, Mike Tuchscherer takes a seat.

MIKE TUCHSCHERER

Mike began coaching in 2004 when he took over as Cadet-in-Charge of the USAFA Powerlifting club. After he graduated in 2007, he wrote about what he had learned in his first book, "The Reactive Training Manual." The book taught lifters how the concept of Rate of Perceived Effort (RPE) could be adapted to lifting. It went on to shape powerlifting and popularize the notion of autoregulated training.

Mike was an early adopter of online coaching for powerlifting and helped to develop that industry. He coached and handled lifters worldwide for the next several years. In 2016, he began developing his "Emerging Strategies" framework—a planning style that systematically determines what a lifter responds best to.

Over the 15+ years, Mike has been coaching. He has coached over 400 lifters. Sixteen of those lifters went on to earn a medal at the IPF Classic World Championships under his guidance. Fourteen lifters have earned World Records.

The founder of Reactive Training Systems, Mike has taught more than 500 athletes and coaches how to make better training decisions. Whether through innovative concepts or ground-level coaching, free online systems or direct teaching, his lifting, or the coaching of others, Mike has inspired countless other powerlifters to individualize their training so that it works best for them.

Chuck Vogelpohl, Kenny Patterson, Todd Brock, Joe McCoy, and Dave Tate shared close to a decade in the gym together. Combined, they share 60+ years' worth of Westside experience (at Westside) — dating back to when Westside existed out of Louie Simmons' garage to its current location on Industry Drive.

This will be unlike other episodes, as it’s been a long time since these guys have seen each other.

In this 133rd podcast episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk, Matt Wenning returns.

Matt recently squatted an impressive 520 pounds for 24 reps! Listen as Dave and Matt talk about this feat of strength, strength endurance, and longevity!

Matt Wenning is a three-time world champion powerlifter. He has directed over 6000 troops in strength, conditioning, and wellness for the U.S. Army, including Infantry and Ranger Divisions. He holds a Masters Degree in Biomechanics and a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from Ball State University.

Matt grew up in Indiana, raised by a hard-working, middle-class family. His mother was a nurse, and his father was a Marine and truck driver. When he was six years old, Matt was hit by a car going 50 mph, which took a toll on his physical development. After undergoing 12 months of full leg casts and 12 months in a boot, his legs were underdeveloped.

Four years later, Matt discovered lifting. It allowed him to see he was capable of anything, despite what he had gone through during his recovery from his injuries. Then, when Matt was 13, his father passed away due to cancer, a result of complications from agent orange. That's when he started lifting in competitions.

In the beginning, lifting was just a stepping stone to the goal of football. But it became a much larger pathway in his life. Lifting inspired Matt to attain higher education and become a strength coach. He excelled with a 3.9 GPA.

He has been an adviser for the NFL, an international speaker for the NSCA, and a contractor for border patrol, airborne divisions, and the pentagon.

Matt will be presenting at the 2022 elitefts SWIS Symposium. Register today and take advantage of 45% off the ticket price (sale ends August 19th, and registration prices will only rise the closer we get to the event)

#121 Matt Wenning on the Wenning Warm-up, Conjugate, and Turds? Jun 14, 2022

Register SUPER early for the elitefts SWIS Symposium 2022 (registration prices will only raise the closer we get to the event): Click Here!

In this 121st podcast episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk, Matt Wenning takes a seat.

In this episode, Dave and Matt will be discussing the following topics:

How Westside Barbell was different based on their experiences and timeframes
Matt's warm-up protocol
How Matt incorporates block training into conjugate
The turd story, plus gaining and losing weight
Views on the industry and the future of powerlifting
PEDs
And more!

Matt Wenning is a three-time world champion powerlifter. He has directed over 6000 troops in strength, conditioning, and wellness for the U.S. Army, including Infantry and Ranger Divisions. He holds a Masters Degree in Biomechanics and a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from Ball State University.

Matt grew up in Indiana, raised by a hard-working, middle-class family. His mother was a nurse, and his father was a Marine and truck driver. When he was six years old, Matt was hit by a car going 50 mph, which took a toll on his physical development. After undergoing 12 months of full leg casts and 12 months in a boot, his legs were underdeveloped.

Four years later, Matt discovered lifting. It allowed him to see he was capable of anything, despite what he had gone through during recovery from his injuries. Then, when Matt was 13, his father passed away due to cancer; a result of complications from agent orange. That's when he started lifting in competitions.

In the beginning, lifting was just a stepping stone to the goal of football. But it became a much larger pathway in his life. Lifting inspired Matt to attain higher education and become a strength coach. He excelled with a 3.9 GPA.

He has been an adviser for the NFL, an international speaker for the NSCA, and a contractor for border patrol, airborne divisions, and the pentagon.

#119 8x WPC World Champion: Doug Heath Jun 08, 2022

In this 119th podcast episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk, Doug Heath and Adam Zevchik take a seat.

In this episode, topics include: - What benefited Doug working as a shift worker (working nights and regarding recovery)? - Advice for someone who wants to double their current squat at roughly the same bodyweight. - Increasing strength while maintaining a low bodyweight. - How powerlifting has changed (comparing the 80s and 90s to present day). - Mental prep for big lifts. - What it was like training Buster Douglas when prepping for Mike Tyson. - And more!

In September of 1976, Doug Heath met Louie Simmons at The Ohio State University. In Louie's mind, Doug was "strong as hell, but really eccentric, to say the least." In Doug's mind, Louie was the biggest guy he'd ever seen as a 20-year-old (traps to ears) and was enamored to be invited to train with Louie in his basement (before Westside Barbell existed) based on strength—deadlifting nearly 365, weighing 117 pounds.

Two months later, Doug competed in his first meet. Fast forward to 1984, he won Senior Nationals with a 1306.2 total, weighing 132.

Adam Zevchik, the newest elitefts athlete, trained under Doug for roughly seven years. Through Doug, Adam feels his powerlifting career took off after he learned the historical makeup of the sport and harnessed Doug's mindset.

Adam was born and raised in Columbus, Ohio. He graduated from Ohio State University with a degree in sustainable plant systems with a specialization in turf grass science and a minor in business. He's the superintendent at The Golf Club at Little Turtle and manages the golf course and off-site landscape operations.

As a multi-ply powerlifter of twelve years, he has one AWPC and three WPC world titles. He holds the junior squat record in the WPC at 148. He's ranked in the top-30 all-time at 148 and 165.

Adam's most recent competition was APF Nationals (June 4th).
