Training Longevity Like This Is A Life Saver 

After years of abuse on my body doing powerlifting and venturing to strongman caused me some issues. As a firefighter now I struggle to try to lose weight because I’m 300 and still have the muscle mass from competing but being 300 plus as a firefighter sucks big time

I stack shelves and lifting helps me keep in healthy condition

Spot on Matt. I’m 23 yrs deep on the fire truck and boy does your body take a beating. We are expected to preform for 30 years!! It’s to damn long and should be outlawed. I did 2 jobs for 15 years on the side too. Sure as hell can’t do what I could do from 25-35. Now 45 and 4 operations on both shoulders and knees. You are so right about getting guys to buy into longevity!!! Most eat like shit and have no clue how to train. I wish I would have never trained with weights like a mad man too!! Not many around to teach like you. As I lay here at the station popping Celebrex cause I’m wrecked.

Matt Wenning is giving the best training information on RU-vid in my opinion

Probably one of the most informative Table Talk podcasts, and that’s saying a lot with some of the people Dave has had on.

I love how the people Dave has on talk about the importance of longevity. I don't hear any of the people who train solely for aesthetics talk about continuing to train in your 50's and beyond.

So awesome hearing this conversation. I work in the tactical setting with H2F. All thus is true.

Matt's so damn smart. Love hearing how he approaches training different populations.

0:27 I’m an ER nurse and deadlift 700 squat 515, when we transfer patients over the medics and firefighters are like “ooooohhhkaaay ya ready?” Then I just lift them up and put them on the gurney. FF: “woah”

Nobody talks about this …longevity … thank you Matt and Dave …

Matts big on longevity, really enjoyed this podcast, nice seeing matt in a nice mood 🤣

Thanks!

Wow, that is a lot of valuable information

There's a firefighter at my gym who doesn't powerlift for the reason you mentioned. He's got to be able to do a physical job until he's able to ready and he said he doesn't want to risk injury

I’m a first responder for 15 yrs. Being a patrol deputy I was more in shape then I am now sitting behind a desk a majority of the day as a detective! I gotta save myself before it’s too late

Would love to hear Matt’s comments on Corrections. And Job specific training for them.

pulling a morbidly obese patient out of an apartment building when the stretcher can't fit in the elevator = permanent back issues for many a first responder

Love this content. I want to thank y’all for doing what you you do. With that said who’s paying firefighters or paramedics 100000/year
