Dan Bell | 2600 LBS TOTAL, WORLD RECORD HOLDER, Table Talk

“It costs you nothing to be a good person” if more people could understand that, the world would be a better place.

[@zackhurwitz9441]

Hate to be that guy, but it can definitely cost you to be a good person. Doesn't mean you shouldn't try, but it certainly can backfire.

[@DanTejedaFit]

@@zackhurwitz9441Can’t stand people who say this smh. Being a good person doesn’t mean being a dumb one or allowing others to step on you.

[@zackhurwitz9441]

@@DanTejedaFit Some people are very good liars, and sometimes the circumstances can't be helped. Sometimes you just lose for doing the right thing. Pretend you've never been taken advantage of, or that you've never lost if you want, but we both know different.

[@AndJusTIceForRob]

@@DanTejedaFit I don’t think he was talking about being dumb. I think he was referring to moral courage. Most people know the right path but refuse to walk it because it’s the hard path. Doing the right thing sometimes costs a promotion or an opportunity. Doing the right thing can absolutely be costly. But I suppose that’s not always the same thing as just being nice to someone.

[@zacheryrobinson5939]

Dan helped me out probably 10 years ago when he was coming up and I had some questions/…..very humble dude

[@benmathews6225]

The Joe Rogan of Powerlifting and Dan “giggles” Bell! Awesome podcast guys!

[@AndJusTIceForRob]

Yes! I loved his amicable personality. Lots of laughter!

[@danieldreizehn9459]

You can't dislike a hard working person with that big heart.

[@derektheround8911]

Dude came to a UPA meet in Iowa, judged a bit but was back in the warm up room loading bars, talking to people, encouraging people. Super cool.

[@priceperez6058]

When Dan started talking about intaking information. It’s very crucial. We had a new guy move to my gym and he had randomly gave me cues while I was squatting. Which I’ve been wanting since most of my powerlifting buddies moved away. The guy cueing me moved from Kabuki down to my area. He has helped me greatly within the last few weeks. Where things that didn’t click now click. All in all I love Dan Bell’s take on being receptive to knowledge and information from people.

[@lukejc0110]

Dan just seems like a really good dude who happens to be one of the strongest guys on the planet

[@SOC-ir6im]

I’ve watched most of your podcasts and all’s I have to say is WOW! Great great convo that just flowed so naturally-Dan is such a humble great guy,breath of fresh air. Best podcast to date hands down!

[@MeanBob_Games]

Damn not even halfway through February and each interview has been fantastic. Jimmy and Dan both have been 2 of the best you've ever done. This one with Dan is easily one I can revisit multiple times. Thanks for doing them, a podcast like this makes my week.

[@TrailofDestruction]

Very happy to see Dan Bell on the podcast 👏🏽

[@GenXPower]

This guy always looks so serious on the platform, i had no idea how fun he is. He might be my new favorite lifter. Don't take yourself so seriously. None of us get out alive, lol.

[@BlackAdam2784]

Elitefts's interviews, man ... wow. 🔥

[@jenmelberg-731]

Life has taken over lately. I was so stoked to see this! Dans amazing! Team is hitting it outta the park with content this year!❤❤❤❤

[@eliteftsofficial]

Thank ya!!!

[@mrwiskerz666]

Dave is a great interviewer and Dan interviews very well. Great episode

[@PLeonard71]

These podcasts are amazing and are the premiere content being produced in the world regarding powerlifting and its top athletes, coaches, and personalities. Thank you for creating these.

[@eliteftsofficial]

Much appreciated!

[@patrickvanmeter2922]

Humility from a guy of Dan Bell, is refreshing to me. We're human beings first and Bell hasn't forgot that.

[@rarepower]

Can't wait for Dan vs Thor here! Really great chat between you guys!

[@timothynavratil437]

Awesome discussion!! Dan is the real deal !

[@idealcommentary]

I’m binging this playlist lol. Some of the best lifting related podcasts out

[@eliteftsofficial]

Glad you like them!

[@stokiemanbrent4200]

Are you going to be at the Arnold? I think you could get Thor on your podcast pretty easily if you asked, he does podcasts/interviews quite often. Would be fascinating to hear more about his powerlifting goals Someone else who would be AWESOME is Sebastian Oreb (Australianstrengthcoach)

[@yevgeniyzhuravlev6100]

This is amazing. Simply amazing. Thank you for these. 3.5 hours flew by like 30 minutes

[@DaRealCharlieBrown]

Never comment on KZbin but all these interviews are great. Simply amazing and inspiring guest.

[@eliteftsofficial]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@apatu1]

To me, one of the best podcasts ever.

[@hairyape_8103]

This is my first time seeing Dan in this kind of long format interview. A very chill humble dude and one of the all-time greats

[@Marvin-Thomas05]

This is a really cool chat. What a guy

[@louiseleuteri4120]

Big Dan....A Force of Nature.. Mr.Tate... Sharing Knowledge...Awesome! Thanks.

[@RichMorti]

Great episode

[@Michael-ok8zg]

Excellent episode!

Dan Bell Is The True GOAT

[@Balonishell]

Incredible interview. Amazing repore between these men.

[@yep318]

Favorite podcast!

[@drpain7319]

Always love the content

[@tylerhamilton9056]

I completed in a strongman como with Dan, I was a division below him but he was a great dude to talk to

[@xboxfan0101010]

Where the time tags ??

[@mitchmccue3083]

I got to sit on a bench with him and talk for a few minutes at a meet he was at as a spectator. Pretty fucking cool

[@malachiankrom4185]

Best one yet!

[@Zach845]

Genuinely worried for Dan. He seems like an amazing guy. Glad he’s very aware of the consequences of being a world record power lifter.

[@Zak_Kelley]

Love the vids!!! :)

[@reignconsumer]

The GOAT 🔥🔥🔥

[@richardcerritelli9657]

I totally agree I'm into Raw lifting no bulshit or gimmicks he's legit holds the all-time world record three lift total without all that crap lifting gear the only problem is he gets no recognition I never heard of him and I follow powerlifting and weightlifting I wish this sport was more popular. When you Google who's the strongest powerlifter ever he ain't even in the list check it out and he should be.

[@dansmith9724]

Good show👍a genuine bloke. So the best powerlifter in the world for an intra workout drink uses beer 🍻. What's his post workout nutrition? I think I could follow this style of nutrition 😉

[@Oldtimenattylife]

Commenting and liking for the algorithm, not hard to do and I know your pain 😂

[@Pantelifts10]

Be honest, took that hop back after deadlift from the legend KK right? 😆

[@johnnickless2529]

What a cool human being.

[@jarredbarno7270]

Being a bigger guy you always get asked to help move people's houses

[@razman95x]

Out of curiosity, I’m 27 years old, bench 150kg, deadlift 230kg and squat 180kg at 75kg bodyweight - should I get on gear to go further? I’ve been training for 15 years. (Genuinely wanna see what the comment section thinks)

[@Oho159]

nah too soon.

[@tylerstronk]

No. Unless you know so much about training, fatigue management, nutrition, and decreasing stressers. Maybe or maybe not you can probably move up 1-3 weight classes. Push volume on your accessories keep the big 3 on maintenance for bit ie train to get as big as you can. Really understand hypertrophy training than so can maximize that without getting weaker. Until you gather so much information and propertly train hard and effectively I don't care how old or how much experience someone has. If you don't understand everything you're doing to a t you don't have any business hoping on gear.

[@razman95x]

@@tylerstronk that’s a very good point - for a bit of history I previously weighed 120kg and was bodybuilding (badly) over a period of 5 years I learnt a lot and dropped down to 75kg (no focus on powerlifting). 5 years on from there I’ve been training for strength and all my lifts have gone up by a significant amount. In the process I broke L5 in my back, tore a pec, fucked up thoracic spine etc and came back from all of those injuries over the last 2 years to where now I’m able to train again, have earned back my old lifts and would feel comfortable talking about nearly any topic when it comes to performance with references to studies and books etc (not peer studies, actual studies). I understand it all, the only thing I don’t understand because I have 0 experience with is taking the gear itself lol

[@tylerstronk]

@razman95x with injury list like that gear can very possibly make things worst. Because we know what gear can do like increase in strength and size by very degrees. It's bell curve effect, so it'll be based on someone's genetic response and quality of the gear. But along with that being that injury prone naturally at that young of age , I strongly suggest not hope on. You can take so many bad injuries. I really only see gear exacerbate that even more rather make things better.

[@razman95x]

@@tylerstronk aaaaaah that’s true but I was also doing a lot shit wrong, hydration was poor, nutrition was focussed on the wrong things and to lose that weight I was training twice a day for literally the whole time so I think I just fucked myself rather than being injury prone. But yeah that’s a fair point. My initial interest was honestly to try to bolster up injury prevention but I hadn’t considered the strength increase potentially making that worse

[@robertchalfant7233]

I trust you and Matt Wenning

[@matt1755]

he is a giant. its really hard on the body to carry that much weight, no matter if its muscle or fat. he is also on PEDs and that carap is horrible.

[@BlakeGibbons]

I saw the thumbnail and thought somehow Shaw and Oberst morphed

[@wernerbro3208]

Females getting hairy and doing Anavar seems like a step in the wrong direction to me.
