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)
