John Haack | 2270 LBS TOTAL, WORLD RECORD HOLDER, Table Talk

[@cameronbatko]

I know it get said often, but Dave is crushing it on the interview/conversation. Keeps the flow going, asks great questions, asks follow up questions. Makes for very interesting listen every time. Even for guests I don’t know. Also impressed by the consistent lack of bathroom breaks.

[@TheHeebiJeebies]

Was just about to comment this but you said it all. Dave is really becoming a world class interviewer. I'm more interested in bodybuilding but I listen to almost all of these because the conversations are just so engaging and educational.

[@watsonkushmaster3067]

He became so much better at moderating this year, he is no longer repeating his own stories and yeah, the flow is great, just like a casual conversation

[@abdullahtaher9335]

John is the definition of walking lightly but moving big weight. Really humble guy and overall enjoyable podcast.

[@matttzzz2]

Hes the definition of not knowing how he became the best in history. Started training before any of us knew what muscles were. Has no technique just does what feels naturally to him. Needs no psyching up or yelling or screaming or ammonia, just gets in position and lifts. Has no esoteric explanations of anything just does whatever naturally feels good to him. He's so far above the rest he's on his own level.

[@Nickademaslifts]

@@matttzzz2 he uses ammonia 🤣🤣

[@MrScottyT21]

Dave is such a great host, keeps the chat flowing asking good Qs but balancing it spot on in terms of when he speaks/to when the guest speaks. Thanks for the content!

[@tenzinglama1580]

I love john's personality, seems like a down to earth humble guy

[@kimmonurmi3074]

Yea, yea.. It's better to take a stand with your head up on the sky (but not in clouds, if you know, what i mean 🚬💨🤪) and your both legs steady on the ground. - Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮! -

[@nimeshgurung6600]

No motivational bullshit, analytical and thoughtful. Also the most comfortable I have seen John in a podcast.

[@ashmerch2558]

John is that dude we all wish we were.... Incredible genetics, impeccable work ethic, good diet, correct supplementation and was in the right setting to achieve.... Idk what's more impressive. His 903lb conventional deadlift @ 90kg or his 600lb raw bench in a full power meet under 100kg.... Or his 2270lb total at 205lb-210lb bodyweight... Wow

[@seanbarker9272]

Good to see a fellow introverted guy blasting everyone ☝️😎

[@ThePayneFactor]

Love this. Thanks Dave for your line of questioning, seemed more specific than I’ve ever noticed, and even better with John asking questions back. Enjoyed this so much, thank you both.

[@joshualup9529]

Dave produces the interviews with the best information!

[@TheJoshBartlett]

You can really tell John is a genuinely great guy! Awesome podcast and I look forward to future table talks with John and other world class lifters

[@kindadumbkindastrong4429]

So stoked for this episode

[@tnash87]

Met John when he was giving away his deadlift platform before moving out of Cali. He's a super cool guy. He's very much what you see in this interview / online.

[@rawrmusic55]

Yes!!!! I’m a huge Haack fan along with highly appreciating/admiring the wisdom Dave continues to share with the community. Let it sink in how much respect Dave has for what John is accomplishing given the history Dave has in the sport. John’s approach and perspective rivals the sheer insanity of his capability/work ethic, all of which are beyond world class. Both of you gentlemen are fascinating individuals that I do my best to absorb whatever knowledge you are kind enough to share. Thank you both for embodying what I love about strength development, which has been central to my health for the last 20 years and God willing, many to come. Early Merry Christmas to you both!

[@bahamut5608]

Love his honesty about ped use. Man is a great lifter

[@gojira444]

200mg test and a tab of anadrol? I don't know about honesty.

[@delizhpowerlifting2581]

@@gojira444 i agree with you. He must have missed a 0 on the dosages.

[@hansneggs]

You will find that dudes that do heavy dosages blow up in weight crazy . John doesn’t .

[@DannyHamar]

You cant compare dosages between people

[@bahamut5608]

@Gojira missed the exact details of his cycle. Definitely not that low. That's laughable and insulting he expects lifters to believe it

[@joecowan3719]

My favorite podcast so far, it was a master class on a great coach talking an elite lifter through how he has auto-regulated his way to the top of the sport. A must listen!

[@darbyparke9105]

Listened to this yesterday, listening to it again today. So much knowledge shared on this podcast, Dave did a great job asking the right questions

[@jenmelberg-731]

This month has been Christmas every episode! Thank you!

[@123kidkid3]

I think this is the best john haack interview

[@vipermuscle440]

Saturday morning bench with John at Madtown was some of the most fun I’ve ever had in a gym.

[@Andreastheduck]

best interview I've seen with John!

[@francoisstrength]

People don't get how much 300mg test + 50mg real pharma var actually does. I mean that's still a 650mg cycle and anavar is really really effective at making you strong as heck without packing on too much size. He also never even MENTIONED his anadrol dosage. It's still very 'low' doses compared to what people often take but it's still very close to the point of diminishing returns. Any compounds added on top will inevitably increase size too much and will land him in yet another weightclass, or be completely unsustainable (tren) which I'm sure he's saving for when he notices no more progress with the options he's going for now. However I will emplore him to switch the masteron for primobolan instead.

[@jaredray7001]

These pods are the greatest and Dave is the man!!! I know basically everything I know about powerlifting from watching Table Talk. I came here as a bodybuilding fan looking to pass the time. Sure glad I did. Table Talk is forever in my rotation. 👍💪💯

[@fabiobonetta5454]

One of the very few living legends around

[@renaereps]

I could listen to John and Dave talk all day!

[@breitemasse]

awesome talk ! much love, keep up all the best

[@michaellopez2070]

Damn good interview. Thanks, Dave! John gave a lot of detail in this interview. Great stuff.

[@nickmanc386]

My dude such a gentic god he cant even answer straight questions.. anything he does just works

[@user-zz5og2lf7p]

Lmao its insane. Its like clarence kennedy just squatting heavy everyday without a program and just hitting a 600+pound atg squat as a skinny 18 year old natty vegan.

[@TheMichaelx]

Dave is honestly a talented host!

[@tusharbaghel2952]

What a man pure humbleness

[@gojkogalonja]

I was literally searching yesterday if Dave Tate and John Haack had a conversation :O

[@conradpratt1240]

Been waiting for this one ❤

[@Disciplekratos]

Just heard about this guy with this podcast...he's so mellow and chill. New fav along with Dan Greene. Humble aggressive lifters.

[@redmudkip]

I'm so sad he doesn't post accessories, it's the thing I'm most interested in when it comes to John's programming lol

[@andrewbrown5808]

He will go down as the greatest

[@anaussie213]

Yep it's the fact you get used to it that you don't feel it so much anymore when you smoke all the time, you were correct Dave.

[@MetalsForBrunch]

Great discipline and humbleness from Haack. I don't powerlift but I do strength training/Muay thai/boxing/calisthenics.. No crossfit for me. I admire his life strength and determination to where he is at now.

[@TheDippits]

This is excellent love getting the deep dive on programming

[@rrace002]

220 lb is pretty heavy body weight for a 5'7" height.

[@tomrhodesmays]

excellent

[@poolman20001]

Questions are good, but you have to many. The person asking the questions always has the control. John as the host, you should let John control a large percentage of the post cast. Shoot for letting him control 40%, maybe near 60% This is why the guest on Joe Rogans pod cast doso well. They own some of it.

18 more pounds for John to respect my squat lol

He has to pull more than Coan on a stiff bar to be in the contention for GOAT.

[@user-he8lq8ny3v]

They’re just different though. John is better bencher, Ed a better squatter, and they have different deadlift sumo vs conventional, which is the part making it impossible to compare. That both are greats to be appreciated

John physically looks ordinary . Ed coan looks like a freak midget . This is why I think john is more impressive . Very simple

He is the personality type that is okay to be on roids. I don't think he would be very social baked lol. As far as the training stoned, I do it all the time. Just like anything your body adapts.

Powerlifting is cool it enjoyed it a lot. Up until it became like “ hardcore “ like oh I’m so fucnin hardcore Bc I lift. Like stfu. It took me 3 meets to figure out I hate these fake personas. Then I found Highland games and I figured oh I can lift to be better at something else. To each their own I suppose.
