Dave Hoff & Anthony Oliveira l ALL-TIME World Record Total, WPO LIFTING, Night Crew, Table Talk

[@omarazami7377]

This is why I will always support Elitefts. There’s no avenue on the internet that talks about these nuances/intricacies/details than EFS. This podcast cuts to the heart of the matter. Gets down, dirty, and detailed without giving into hyperbole. Anyone can talk about the highs……..EFS talks about the lows. We need more of that! It’s unfortunately an inherent part of training that most people and fans don’t understand. Also horse lineament inside your knee sleeves rule.

I could listen to Dave Hoff talk about training all the time. Thanks Dave Tate for this interview.

i think Dave and Dave's explanation of how gear makes you truly think about the lift is spot on. Great explanation.

[@mannysfitnessfortress989]

Great topics and answers to many questions i had.

[@tobyhurley5744]

Definitely all time favorite episode

Dave you crazy I dont have that much time to watch your podcasts, but they are all so greath and guests are soo good Like Hoff I watched the last one, and would this too!!!

[@ChalkandIron]

I don't identify with multiply powerlifting, but when these guys speak the wealth of experience, wisdom, and training knowledge just comes out. Great content

[@0123darren]

What a morning trifecta! 😎🤝

[@Kknise3]

Epic podcast! Crazy knowledge bombs and fun to listen to!

[@marwall22]

Just found this channel. Great!

Hearing you talk about the technicalities of geared lifting gives me a new found appreciation for it.

[@zaaknicholls8944]

Great explanation with the car in the workshop.

Been waiting for this one. Love these guys

[@sebastienleblanc2708]

I like how lifters has a different way of dealoading after a meet.

[@ct9bo7im7v]

this was awesome on so many levels. Just came out and I've already listened to parts of the discussion for 3 times to memorise everything. Thanks for all your efforts!

When I was stuck in training at 425 for a paused triple and 405 for a paused 5, my bench was stuck at 455 raw. I rarely did singles but warming up to my heaviest weight 455 went up fairly quickly with authority and 485 stapled me. My training partner would do 405 for 5 touch and go. 455 1 touch and go slow. 495 1 paused fairly slow but never missed it. He ultimately hit 525 that year while I was stuck at 455 for so long, I switched from wide grip semi flared to a tucked narrow grip when training. I hammered my triceps or so I thought. Extensions to the chin with 295 for a triple. My shoulder width grip tucked bench was exactly where I had been stuck on wide grip flared using delts and pecs to bench getting hurt constantly. Now my set up was tight, bar path was consistent, triceps were strong and lats were strong. I got 425 for an easy single, 455 easy, 485 went up about 4 inches and crashed down. How could that be my extensions were 135 for 3x8 and now I could do over 300. It made no difference. I tried pin presses, board presses and I had been doing speed work with minis but I was using 225. I was fast but when I learned about 600 raw pressers 800 shirted pressers using 185 plus 1 mini, something clicked. 2 weeks of speed work at 185 and 1 mini and I plowed through 465. I put on a early slingshot. The blue reactive model. I smashed 495 with it and realized I needed more work with it because it corrected my stroke as if it was made for me. My friends both bigger (heavier) with 500 plus benches used it and it screwed them up. I had figured out what I needed to do. 2 weeks later in jiu Jutsu (I was aware that sparring at more than 75% intensity more than 6 minutes 3 days a week was too much but I had my recovery dialed in until my left shoulder started hurting a lot. I partially tore 2 rotators including the infraspinatus. This happened in the wrestling room senior year. I elected to rehab it. Stopped hurting and I never thought about it again. Well the MRI show all 4 of my left rotators were torn in half. After surgery and recovery I worked back to 465 raw and started using the slingshot 1 day per week to help my stroke but I still spent time training without it. At a commercial gym some idiot offered to spot when my partner was out. He was a typical gym guy, never trained legs, did 6 chest exercises blah blah blah. I explained that the hand off is not a lift off where you heave the weight over the lip shocking the presser. I explained after a gentle hand off step back. It was 405 and I was doing 4 paused reps. It was not an especially challenging set but enough load where things can go wrong. He was a fig guy and heaved the lift off and didn’t guide it to the proper spot. I recovered and lowered the bar for a 1 sec pause. Smashed it. I did the second and as it was coming up he yanks it to the rack and it misses so I had to adjust and bring it back down. I pressed and he grasped the bar pulling it off the path and started saying it’s all you but the weight was in the verge of dropping on my neck or face. I said take it and heard a pop. Now my other shoulder is separated and my labrum is torn. This moron said great set bro, you were going for 2 and nearly got 3. You’re lucky that chick isn’t spotting you. No idiot that chick knows how to spot and not knock the bar off path. I was so livid and also in pain that I just sat there shaking my head knowing this idiot thought he did his job and did not listen to a word I said. His goal as far as I could tell was to gain some perceived gym glory by spotting me and making lots of noise as if he was the coach or something. That was 5 years ago at 45. I spent 45-47 rehabbing my shoulder and now I still train but do weighted push-ups and dips because of the closed chain I don’t have to rely on a good partner. There is not a big scene in Chicago as Franz passed and Quads in Thornton is too far. There are some places but I am a businessman and do not have interest in competing for 1 of the 2 powerlifting gyms in Chicago at my age. In fact competitive strength sports were never something I was interested in simply because I spent 8 years competing in wrestling and was glad when the pressure and weight cutting was over. At 22 I wanted to start training optimally and get as strong as possible with a decent physique. I hung around 200-215 and I was strong but my era was the equipment era and I didn’t want to learn all that. I used briefs for squats, I bought a custom rack from Dave, I got a flute ham raise, did box squats ,bought chains and jump stretch bands. Admittedly it took a while to really understand conjugate is more about figuring out what you need vs simply doing exactly what you assumed people were doing at west side. Nothing against equipment. I would love to learn it but I bought a Karin closed back shirt and couldn’t get my Rae max to touch. The system helped with the squat and raw bench but I had to deadlift more traditionally albeit 2 times. Month was plenty. When you are training alone except with respect to bench., or trying to teach guys how to box squat using there posterior chain turned out to be a real pain in the ass.

[@yanwain9454]

when i use my slingshot and my arms are stuck in front of me like a t-rex, i pretend i'm scot mendelson.

[@Invictus13666]

Hoff is awesome but I love listening to Anthony.

[@chrisweidner4768]

Indeed. “Who gives a fuc.” Embrace the process and bust your asz when your body tells you. The Louie impersonation was 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍☝️

[@brandonmitzel4481]

This may be the best guest combo yet. Both are phenomenal guys and full of knowledge.

[@marien2477]

The best that work for me is just pick a weight you can rep 14-15 timesto failure, add 2.5kg each workout. So i started with 14 x 80kg - 14 x 82.5kg - 13 x 85kg - 13 x 87.5kg - 12 x 90kg - 12 x 92.5kg - 10 x 95kg (bad day) - 10x 97.5kg - 9x 100kg - 9x 102.5kg - 8x 105kg - 7x 107.5kg - 6x 110kg - 6x 112.5kg - 5x 115kg - 5x 117.5kg - 4x 120kg - 4x 122.5kg - 4x 125kg - 3x 127.5kg - 2x 130kg - 2x 132.5kg 2x 135kg - 1 x 137.5kg - 1 x 140kg, when 1 rep max is reached start over with higher weight like 95kg. I also add lots off paused reps to failure after each bench session with 60-70kg. This is like a 20kg increase on one rep max in like 2-3 months which is realistic if you work hard

What movie are they talking about towards the end, doesn't sound like its Westside vs The World, it sounds like something that hasn't come out yet?

Yeah, same director has been working on another one focusing on the WPO I believe.

Oliveras said if you’re scared go to church. Jesus told Peter he’s the church and Peter and all of the apostles other than one were brutally killed for their faith. The church is hardcore not lifting weights.

Amen on the peptides. Everyone ive tried has been useless...assuming the various sources i got them from were even legit. I see less and less talk and hype on them...thinking more and more ppl have caught onto the fact that these peptides arent what they are hyped up to be. Marine Mike 🇺🇸 💪

[@yanwain9454]

smaller guys < 242lbs

[@michaelholder98]

I get these guys' logic and it makes sense BUT lets compare their cumulative success with all their clients and compare it to Westside's. Who won more meets? Louie's results speak for themselves. Yes he definitely had flaws, we all do, but at end of day im going to go harder than less hard, as long as my body is telling me i can. They are saying only do what you have to do...well, you really dont HAVE to do anything at all, so why even train then. It is all relative i suppose. This was a great interview and these guys for sure know what their talking about. Marine Mike 🇺🇸 💪
