While it might be interesting to watch, it would make very little sense to anyone without a lot of explanation (which is the opposite of what you ask for) because Dave's training is so specific.
I just started powerlifing 3 years ago. I wish you lived closer. I bust my ass and I now have 2 state records in deadlifts for the USPA. The problem is my body has been through the meat grinder. I rode bulls for 7 years, been ejected from a truck, did motorcross for a while, and a bunch of other stupid stuff. I have broke almost everything but I'm too dumb to quit lifting and want more records but I have to find that mixture that doesn't leave me out for weeks at a time. Your videos have helped a lot. Keep up the good work.
I started doing this last year at my gym as a warmup and the owner saw me doing it day after day so when I eventually asked him if he had any work for me, he said “I don’t at the moment, but if you come in and keep cleaning up before you work out, I’ll trade you a free membership.”
Thanks for sharing some fine tips and knowledge. I am 74 and do basic split workouts of deadlift, squat, bench, standing dumbbell press, occasional romanians. Have ripped or damaged my left rotator twice: once at 19 in the Navy doing left handed arm wrestling (the joint was impinged: laying on floor) and at 68 on a last set of the workout doing close grip bench and went out of position towards my feet, i.e. wrong slant. I have watched some of your other videos and enjoyed learning how power lifters train using your methods. This was a great video.....I can't wait to try the Crossbody Chain Triceps movement. I could see the effectiveness of that movement. My chains will be a lot smaller, haha.
Yep - every day at the gym: put the dumbbells back, stack the plates in order, pick up bands and boards, find the back roller, find the right bar, etc. Nice idea for the shoulders, I usually hang. I get the fan - need a spray bottle :) Excellent idea with the triceps and the chains - I gotta try this today! And for comments - hell yes, I love these and I am a washed up meathead! Only thing is I don't recognize that "washed up" part :)
Dave - I apologize as yesterday I thought this was Juji's channel; however now I realize elitefts is your channel!! I've studied everything you've put out since 2007, way back to the Testosterone Nation days. I always loved your realism and no bull shit spin on things. Also your passion and intensity I love. When you are talking...I am listening. Thank you for this great content and everything you've done over the years. Guys like you really helped shape me into the man I am today, as I really looked up to you and others like you in my early manhood years and it's paid off exponentially. Regards - Marine Mike 💪
@@joeleadbetter9041 Because I lost touch with him after T NATION days around 2010 and just didn't realize this was his company as all I read was his articles that talked about life and lifting, not his businesses. Heard of Elitefts over the years...never made the connection.
Tip #1 is something I have done since I started working out. Being a skinny sick ass 95lbs body weight diagnosed with Graves wanting to get stronger in a hole in the wall gym. Hearing Dave start with that just makes me chuckle.
Great video. The content helps. I am a semi retired powerlifter and I have learned a lot watching Dave modify his training. I can’t thank him enough. I will be adding pendulums right away.
This is awesome. Struggling with shoulder issues and pain. Everything is affected by it. In fact I convinced my gym to buy an elitefts safety squat bar. Pure gold
A few years ago I walked in the gym and it was a proper mess, so I lost my temper and tidied everything, then had one of the best deadlift sessions I've ever had. So fired up. 😂
As a fellow washed-up meathead, I appreciate these videos. I’m 52 and been in some variant of a gym since ‘84. I’ve also donated body parts for the cause so it’s nice to see work-arounds. Keep it up Dave and thank you.
I suck - I can barely do any glute ham raises correctly. Guess that points out my weak point and what I need to fix. Thanks for all the great FREE content!
Thanks Dave. these are great. As a beat up 58-yr old lifter, I wish I had started doing these types of things when i was younger. Glad to see I've already stumbled across several of these years ago. Love all of the content.
These are totally the kind of tips I'm looking for. I'm 48 and just recently started my "lift heavy shit" journey and can't wait till I'm a washed up meathead.
Love this. Had to get my own garage gym set up because I couldn't stand having to clean up after everyone at the public gym I was going to. I mean, some of the weights were color coded and people still couldn't put them back right. That spray bottle + fan tip is going to be a life saver in the garage this summer too
The older I get, the bigger difference a long warm-up makes. I used to clean up after all the slobs after I was done lifting, but I’m damn sure gonna do it before now. Brilliant.
All fantastic tips, but the most important tip for lifting and every other aspect of life was the last one: vet who you listen to and make sure they know what they're talking about :) And in general, somebody like Dave who straight up says to vet him as well and think about whether or not you want to listen to him is probably going to be a lot more knowledgeable and trustworthy than somebody who demands that you listen only to them and take them on faith.
Yoooooo, those auto-retracting barbell racks in the power cage during Dave's shoulder saver demonstration look amazing. What an awesome idea for innovating on power rack design. I wish my gym had these. Unracking the weight is the most annoying part about benching without a training partner and these would solve that problem.
I tried jacking up the back of the ghd after hearing dave mention it a bit back, still haven't forgiven him!! I really enjoy all the educational stuff you guys do, even minor tweaks sometimes click something, some of Sam's stuff variations etc has been good
I have been following your website, podcast and RUclips for quite a while now. You tell it straight up, no bullshit and I, for one love that. Keep it coming, you are one of the few people I have recommended to others if they are starting out or looking for solid advice or honest information.
Love these tips, I'm 63. Great warm-up suggestions. Another summer tip: program a 2 hour lawnmower push as non-eccentric recovery the day after legs...
Appreciate the meathead tips, especially on how to modify exercises for injury recovery, injury prevention and just scaling for adjusting to strength levels
I really like this format. Thank you for putting these out, even though most people will not or can not buy your equipment (myself due to shipping costs). But still, thank you so so much for doing this type of content. The Table Talks are also amazing, no matter who you bring on or what the topic is about.
Keep putting out this material out. I continue to cycle through your videos and it’s helpful for intermittent to almost advanced lifters.The rope handle with chain tricep looks fun!
Love these. I can retain advice better in this type format than a 2 hour seminar. Oh, Dave, using the band brackets as you did isn’t laziness, that took some engineering thought and set up time. Laziness is just rolling off. Or not moving at all.
I would like to see more on the exercises to help with the main lifts. I do a lot of heavy weight training, but trying to find more content on the smaller muscles to strengthen them so to decrease injury of back, hips etc. I’m not as young as I used to be, but I want to power my way into my 60’s with grace. Lol. Thanks guys for all the great videos
I really enjoy these types of videos. It is interesting when we get stories behind the lifters as well, swede burns jm blakely all super interesting. Sam Brown is a great addition too.
Much prefer these types of videos over anything else. Respect your knowledge and experience thanks for sharing! Would love to watch a similar video but on training with minimal equipment. Gyms here in Ontario have been closed for a year due to COVID and are still closed. Have basic Olympic bar bell / plates and bands and from watching your videos and some west side stuff have made more strength gains at home than going to commercial gyms
This was great! Thank you for everything you share and do with your company. super minor suggestion- have someone edit the the high pitch chain noise with tricep extensions. It was rough with headphones
Keep these videos coming. This is a great series and why I subscribed. I’ve found a few of these things are already in my playbook and love learning more tricks of the trade. As a 53 year old meat head, I just want to see if I can coast into my 70’s with the knowledge, being metabolically healthy, relatively pain and injury free but still bring the power from lifting some weights three days a week, walking, therapy/physio and stretching properly and I’m good. Toss in some of this intermittent fasting and a little Keto and it’s Viking status.
Awesome cool down tip my trainer in high school taught me. Put a capful of ammonia in a 5 gallon bucket of ice water and drop some rags in it, when you need to cool off grab a rag and put it on your neck and face and where ever and it makes a world of difference compared to just ice water. no idea why but it's amazing
Great tips as usual. I always burnt myself out before going heavy and that's a very under looked tip. I only do 3 reps now so I'm not burnt out when going heavier
Are you right there fella ya seem a bit exhausted hope all is well cheers for the tips they always come in handy saved my joints and muscles many times I bet take care from new zealand
The triceps tips sound really helpful. It's the bottom end of the moment that really starts to inflame my elbows. It makes sense to take most of the load off at that point and load more at the top for lock out. I'll be trying this next upper body day. Thanks for the tips. Keep the good work up. 👍
I'm wondering if the same would apply to this as what he was saying about the shoulder saver pad. That you should still work through the fullest range of motion that you safely can, but just on lighter weight and use restricted only for going heavy.
It's great viewing and listening to your suggestions. Even in the work I do in troubleshooting technical problems, I observe how others approach the same problem to learn other approaches and evaluate where I think it could apply. Same thing applies to training.
Very useful content Dave. Would be grateful if you could share with us tips on improving shoulder stability when benching and any warm up or mobility drills for shoulders in particular. Many thanks Dave.
Dave, I really like the tips, I am going to put the tri one into action ASAP as I have had tremendous tricep pain for years. The other Meathead tips are great too, some of it I have known, but forgotten or just don't seem to do anymore. Thanks again!!!!!
I'm really enjoying the Elite FTS content always learning something new to help myself and my training partners improve. The You Tube Videos, Pod Casts and Articles are all golden. Thank you Dave Tate.
Thank you Dave for all the content you put out. Really appreciate you passing on the information both on your site and here in YT. All the best from Finland.
Yes, I absolutely eat this content up! Especially as I become more and more washed up. Would love to see Dave train in live time on occasion summating his WUMH training objectives for his current cycles.
Loving the content Dave. I’ve been a fan for many years as I’ve started my lifting journey and have appreciated your insight. I enjoyed reading your book some years ago and I’ve recently been watching/enjoying the Train Your Ass Off series. Maybe one day I’ll put my hat in for the opportunity to participate.
I'm 23 but I love all these tips. Like Matt Wenning says: 'The sooner you train like you're 40, the longer you're gonna feel like you're 20.'
This is true. I've trained for 30 years now and only started to learn how train at 40🤔 lol
Just look at Ronnie Coleman....
Great perspective! Also, train what you suck at - took me 20yrs to appreciate this and at 46 I am seeing my lifts improve and still hitting goals.
yuh
*3 hours after putting away stuff* I can finally workout.
Honestly, just some raw content of Dave training and doing his own thing would be really interesting to watch in my opinion.
Hell yeeeah give me those lower body sessions
Yes
Yes we want to see zippy!
For sure! That’d be great
While it might be interesting to watch, it would make very little sense to anyone without a lot of explanation (which is the opposite of what you ask for) because Dave's training is so specific.
Thank you, Dave, for dedicating your life to teaching us meatheads how to get stronger! It's well appreciated.
If Dave is in, pretty much going to watch, or at least listen to it. The honesty, bluntness, and humor clicks with me.
I just started powerlifing 3 years ago. I wish you lived closer. I bust my ass and I now have 2 state records in deadlifts for the USPA. The problem is my body has been through the meat grinder. I rode bulls for 7 years, been ejected from a truck, did motorcross for a while, and a bunch of other stupid stuff. I have broke almost everything but I'm too dumb to quit lifting and want more records but I have to find that mixture that doesn't leave me out for weeks at a time. Your videos have helped a lot. Keep up the good work.
I like the clean up/ warm up idea... when you train at home you miss the pre workout car ride to get the mind right...
I started doing this last year at my gym as a warmup and the owner saw me doing it day after day so when I eventually asked him if he had any work for me, he said “I don’t at the moment, but if you come in and keep cleaning up before you work out, I’ll trade you a free membership.”
Guys who have been around awhile appreciate and KNOW that Dave's suggestions are real.
Thanks for sharing some fine tips and knowledge. I am 74 and do basic split workouts of deadlift, squat, bench, standing dumbbell press, occasional romanians. Have ripped or damaged my left rotator twice: once at 19 in the Navy doing left handed arm wrestling (the joint was impinged: laying on floor) and at 68 on a last set of the workout doing close grip bench and went out of position towards my feet, i.e. wrong slant. I have watched some of your other videos and enjoyed learning how power lifters train using your methods. This was a great video.....I can't wait to try the Crossbody Chain Triceps movement. I could see the effectiveness of that movement. My chains will be a lot smaller, haha.

Only thing is I don't recognize that "washed up" part :)
Dave - I apologize as yesterday I thought this was Juji's channel; however now I realize elitefts is your channel!!
I've studied everything you've put out since 2007, way back to the Testosterone Nation days. I always loved your realism and no bull shit spin on things. Also your passion and intensity I love. When you are talking...I am listening.
Thank you for this great content and everything you've done over the years. Guys like you really helped shape me into the man I am today, as I really looked up to you and others like you in my early manhood years and it's paid off exponentially.

How could you think EliteFTS was anyone other than Dave's channel in that case?
@@joeleadbetter9041 Because I lost touch with him after T NATION days around 2010 and just didn't realize this was his company as all I read was his articles that talked about life and lifting, not his businesses. Heard of Elitefts over the years...never made the connection.
Mr. Tate , your record and your experience speaks volumns for itself . Thank you sir for doing these videos . At 65 I can use all the help I can get .
Need a day in the life series with Dave Tate. Always need more washed up tips! Keep em coming!
Tip #1 is something I have done since I started working out. Being a skinny sick ass 95lbs body weight diagnosed with Graves wanting to get stronger in a hole in the wall gym. Hearing Dave start with that just makes me chuckle.
More!
We got to see a little of your own training and why you chose the exercises you do. I would like to see more videos like this.
I love the combination of actual information and ridiculous bullshit.
Love these meathead tip videos, always watch them right away
The lazy meathead trick is also a good prego meathead trick. Only way I could get up from bench during 3rd trimester ha Love your stuff!
Great video. The content helps. I am a semi retired powerlifter and I have learned a lot watching Dave modify his training. I can’t thank him enough. I will be adding pendulums right away.
Being close to 56 now I appreciate every advice that keeps me moving and lifting. Keep on the good work.
As an advanced (in age) lifter, I love these meathead tips and have implemented many of them into my routines.
Loved the tips about the shoulder saver pad. Also glad to see Dave can touch the bar to his chest. That's awesome.
This is awesome. Struggling with shoulder issues and pain. Everything is affected by it. In fact I convinced my gym to buy an elitefts safety squat bar. Pure gold
A few years ago I walked in the gym and it was a proper mess, so I lost my temper and tidied everything, then had one of the best deadlift sessions I've ever had. So fired up. 😂

I’ll watching anything that Dave puts out.
Thanks Dave. these are great. As a beat up 58-yr old lifter, I wish I had started doing these types of things when i was younger. Glad to see I've already stumbled across several of these years ago. Love all of the content.
I love everything Dave allows us to learn from him, and watching him train and bullsh!t between sets
These are totally the kind of tips I'm looking for. I'm 48 and just recently started my "lift heavy shit" journey and can't wait till I'm a washed up meathead.
Love this. Had to get my own garage gym set up because I couldn't stand having to clean up after everyone at the public gym I was going to.

It’s nice to have you back putting out content. I feel like y’all are one of the best if not the best source of power lifting content.
washed up meathead tips are good at all ages lol i love this stuff. glad I'm not the only one that uses the pegs to get out of the bench setup
Bought the Red Shoulder Saver Pad, works like a dream. Would like the stitching/adhesive to be a little more rugged, but 10/10 worth the price.
The older I get, the bigger difference a long warm-up makes. I used to clean up after all the slobs after I was done lifting, but I’m damn sure gonna do it before now. Brilliant.

Thank you for all the money, time, ideas, and energy you guys put into these videos, lockdown was brutal without elitefts vids
Great tips.
Some things are learned with time. It is allways great to hear from quality experinced coaches.
I really like this format. Thank you for putting these out, even though most people will not or can not buy your equipment (myself due to shipping costs). But still, thank you so so much for doing this type of content. The Table Talks are also amazing, no matter who you bring on or what the topic is about.
Damn!! Dave Tate, The Strength Yoda. 💪🏼May the Elitefts be with you 😉👍🏼
Cleaning up... Lately I've been doing this when I get started. Hasn't been a "warm up" perse but an OCD thing. Didn't even think of it as a warm up
Dave you seem so happy and motivated.
I love it. Keep it rolling
I wish everyone would use cleaning up the gym as their warm up.
Dave it is truly an honor to get advice and insights from you. Thank you.
Keep putting out this material out. I continue to cycle through your videos and it’s helpful for intermittent to almost advanced lifters.The rope handle with chain tricep looks fun!
Yeah, more of these wumt please, thanks.
Love these. I can retain advice better in this type format than a 2 hour seminar.
Oh, Dave, using the band brackets as you did isn’t laziness, that took some engineering thought and set up time. Laziness is just rolling off. Or not moving at all.
From a guy who's turning 50 next month. Thank You.
Enjoying these videos lately, some day in the life’s would be cool too. Thanks Dave for everything 🙏🏼
I would like to see more on the exercises to help with the main lifts. I do a lot of heavy weight training, but trying to find more content on the smaller muscles to strengthen them so to decrease injury of back, hips etc. I’m not as young as I used to be, but I want to power my way into my 60’s with grace. Lol. Thanks guys for all the great videos
The low reps, high set warmup tip is fantastic! Thanks Dave!
I'm definitely going to use the tip about the spray bottle when I train outside this summer.
I really enjoy these types of videos. It is interesting when we get stories behind the lifters as well, swede burns jm blakely all super interesting. Sam Brown is a great addition too.
Thanks for last clip Dave, first thing i look at in my coaches or trainers now is their neck 😂😅
Much prefer these types of videos over anything else. Respect your knowledge and experience thanks for sharing!

I like it and I would like to see the progress made in Dave’s modified lifts and exercises.
Love the new content! I miss all the handles to help ones old ass of the bench :) you literally have thought of everything up there
Looks like I am late to the party...adding this channel to my subscribe list!!

Love the 1 on 1 videoa with you. Great to get that knowledge passed on

Great video Dave. Support the company yall!
I'm really enjoying the Elite FTS content always learning something new to help myself and my training partners improve. The You Tube Videos, Pod Casts and Articles are all golden. Thank you Dave Tate.
Love this videos as they are both informative and funny! Especially as Dave is showing lots of different interesting exercises.
These are so close to the wire im like, is he joshing or is this a legit tip.
The answer is yes.
Love seeing this man's tips
Great video, these tips are helpful as I get older and more worn out!
Thank you Dave for all the content you put out. Really appreciate you passing on the information both on your site and here in YT. All the best from Finland.
THIS WAS GREAT THANKS FOR YOUR TIME!
I listened to Dave to get my snap universe crushing strong.
More of those please!
Yes, I absolutely eat this content up! Especially as I become more and more washed up. Would love to see Dave train in live time on occasion summating his WUMH training objectives for his current cycles.
These videos are great Dave, appreciate all the content. The tips are great. Started using some of them in my training
Great video, I'd be interested in seeing more of Dave's current training
Good stuff Dave! Keep this type of content coming!
More meathead tips! Loved this vid
Dave these videos are awesome! Keep them coming!
This is great Dave, loving the tips.
Loving the content Dave. I’ve been a fan for many years as I’ve started my lifting journey and have appreciated your insight. I enjoyed reading your book some years ago and I’ve recently been watching/enjoying the Train Your Ass Off series. Maybe one day I’ll put my hat in for the opportunity to participate.
There is so much knowledge in these videos
I'm a big fan of these videos.
Great stuff, Dave. I'll be 40 this year and am starting to really look for this kind of stuff for and aging lifter.
Great content no filler thanks
Look forward to anything you post
