Powerlifting Overrated/Underrated Ft. Dave Tate 

Dave Tate is so conscious of his biases, that it's hard to believe that he is an old meathead. Very wise man

This was awesome, I must also say, the plate clanking is probably the most therapeutic sounding censorship of swearing I’ve ever heard.

I like that Bryce over the years has turned into a bulbous hulking mass right before my eyes.

What the box squat has helped me is to understand how deep I need to go for at least to go parallel. And it's humbling, feeling that you think you've reached depth before, but are only at a 75-80 degree angle.

These guys may very well be some of the very best in the world at what they do. Obviously they are just as world class with their lifts but it impresses me how much they know from a knowledge perspective. Incredible. Every time I watch Calgary I learn.

I could listen to u two debate and just generally converse about the sport all freaking day

More of this please

I love that racking sound they put over the cursewords as censorship. It is such a satisfying noise.

Beauty interview, one for the ages. Lots of excellent quality information in here!

Outstanding conversation and insight.Thanks!

Really helpful! Would love to see more.

What an awesome video! Great work, more content like this! Keep it up 👌

Awesome idea man and the editing is great lol lots of weights dropped in the audio today

Looks like the two had a good time with this one! Love it!

This was brilliant! Dave seems also to be really cool guy.

Great video, thanks for some Sunday morning lifting😊

This was excellent. Thank you guys!

Great info and delivery.

It’s fascinating how many people across the s&c spectrum say bodybuilding blocks are crucial and how it’s the best way for beginners to start out. Dave himself started off in bodybuilding I believe. So he built his foundation there.

Been waiting for this one

Amazing video!

I’ve used the band trick on bench with a complete beginner. I was teaching a 14 year old who couldn’t bench more than the bar. There some micro bands and there and he instantly started stabilizing the weight.

"sometimes 8RPE is a 15 lbs PR. How the fcuk did that happen?" - That hurt so much Coach!

00:03 Baconators are overrated. 02:15 The safety squat bar is underrated for building weak points and improving deadlifts. 06:25 Powerlifting equipment like belt squat and safety squat bar are overrated in terms of their effectiveness in training. 08:37 Belt squats are overrated in powerlifting. 12:40 Walking out during powerlifting is underrated and important for setup and technique. 14:39 Safety concerns with combo rack and catch chains 18:36 Powerlifting Overrated 20:25 Box squatting in powerlifting is now considered to be appropriately rated 24:03 Accessories not specific to powerlifting are underrated for intermediate lifters. 26:15 Bodybuilding style work can be valuable for powerlifters to overcome plateaus. 29:48 Utilize non-compressive leg exercises and hypertrophy movements to maintain and improve strength as a powerlifter. 31:25 RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion) is overrated in powerlifting 35:23 Using a consistent language or terms in powerlifting helps in setting expectations and building a relationship. 37:07 Understanding and implementing RP (Rate of Perceived Exertion) in powerlifting training. 40:41 Powerlifting technique is more important than using bands or speedwork. 42:34 Speed work in powerlifting is important for building force and improving technique. 46:20 Technique work is essential for improving powerlifting performance. 48:10 Technical work is important for powerlifting

Would like to have heard Dave's under/over opinions on Velocity Bar Tracking... Next time!

This is really cool!!

great vid

Box squats are amazing especially when banding them

Lots of wisdom

Just what my day needed

Regarding RPE, I've found it's important to call it out somewhat regularly (thus test where RPE10 is) to remain pretty accurate with using it as a training tool. I really like Bryce's idea of figuring out RPE for a block, I've messed with using it for an overall session. Honestly just thinking about it keeps fatigue in mind which is how we progress and avoid injury imo.

The fact that Dave tate has very differing opinions than you about a lot of the topics makes it more fun to watch. Good job

MOAR

Box squats done properly, breaking the concentric, eccentric chain are very underrated. As far as speed work or dynamic work goes is in the application of sets, reps and percents. You take group of four people, even if they are all built similarly, there rate of force will differ. I think that speed or dynamic work needs experimentation on each individuals part in order to find that sweet spot for that particular individual.

I think the RPE discussion was really on point. If you have good anchorage with your coach, and know your own RPE's. An RPE9.5 on a close-grip bench or something, the last rep can basically be as fast as the first, but the athlete knows that his triceps are just dead, and he cannot physically do 1 more rep, right.

Bulgarian split squats are an accessory movement? 😂😂😂 Those can be someone's entire leg workout!

If those adirondack rocking chairs have an Elitefts logo I'M BUYING ONE!!!

Dave Tate is highly intelligent, point blank! End of story. His knowledge is encyclopedic. I've only heard 3 separate youtube clips and can see he is highly analytical, & evidentially was a great lifter, too. 🙋🙏

Monolift won't let you see the lifting as well, and that matters.

Speed work is over- rated because Louie Got that concept from Olympic weight lifting where speed work is crucial and a staple in Olympic weight lifting. With out speed, you will never increase your load effectively. However, in powerlifting, speed work is minimal due to all the pause work done to address weak points at the bottom of a lift for both bench and squat. But then again, speed work makes much more sense for Strongmen Competitors because speed is crucial to that style of competition, BUT where speed work will look much different from powerlifting Olympic Lifting is all about speed, strength and technique Strongman competition is all about speed strength and endurance Powerlifting competitions is all about strength and technique.. No one misses due to being slow. Speed Work is over-rated in powerlifting

The OG's

Belt squat overrated? You hurt my heart Bryce! 🤣

Underrated Calgary barbell App !!!

HYPE

With regards to box squats, maybe it was just Louie being Louie but i remember watching a very YT famous seminar where he advocated for box squats regardless of squat stance, he said “even if we squatted narrow, we’d still train wide”. Things like that, IMHO led to the overrating of the box squat.

What the hell is that clang sound??? (love the video but that sound drives me nuts)

PL is great for those who compete. For others, not so much.

I love Dave Tate

WTF is with the language censoring

1:17 RIP John Meadows

Underrated

Dave Tate says Sumo isn''t cheating. I think the argument is over

Forcing Dave to say options besides "it depends" counts as cruel and unusual punishment lmao

🤣speed work, i'm on my 2nd month of 10 triples

Baconator

Also WHO IS SLAMMING WEIGHTS IN THE BACKGROUND they dont let me hear Dave tate say "fuck" hahaha

Lowkey tho triple baconator cheaper than a five guys burger and high in protein if you wanna be a fatass 😎

Dave Tate is overrated.

Overrated: dave tate

I have always liked and respected Calgary Barbell but in truth, this was akin to listening to someone who read a book and someone who wrote a book. Dave Tate's knowledge is underrated and unappreciated in my opinion. True guru of powerlifting.
