Dave Tate - a master, a giant, humility in spades

For beginning or intermediate lifters who need to get to know him, Dave Tate is wise beyond anyone in the field - no experienced lifter doesn't already know this. He is open in his belief of live, learn, and share and no matter who he has on or regardless of the topic he is the alpha at the table and everyone knows it. A real OG type, I highly advise the listen if lifting is an interest.
