In today's 265th episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk podcast, guest Matt Wenning sits down.
In this episode, Matt and Dave discuss kidney function and health (delving into Matt's recent stem cell treatment in Cabo), business, the 70% rule, and much more!
Matt Wenning is a three-time world champion powerlifter. He has directed over 6000 troops in strength, conditioning, and wellness for the U.S. Army, including Infantry and Ranger Divisions. He holds a Masters Degree in Biomechanics and a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science from Ball State University.
Matt grew up in Indiana, raised by a hard-working, middle-class family. His mother was a nurse, and his father was a Marine and truck driver. When he was six years old, Matt was hit by a car going 50 mph, which took a toll on his physical development. After undergoing 12 months of full leg casts and 12 months in a boot, his legs were underdeveloped.
Four years later, Matt discovered lifting. It allowed him to see he was capable of anything, despite what he had gone through during recovery from his injuries. Then, when Matt was 13, his father passed away due to cancer; a result of complications from agent orange. That's when he started lifting in competitions.
In the beginning, lifting was just a stepping stone to the goal of football. But it became a much larger pathway in his life. Lifting inspired Matt to attain higher education and become a strength coach. He excelled with a 3.9 GPA.
He has been an adviser for the NFL, an international speaker for the NSCA, and a contractor for border patrol, airborne divisions, and the pentagon.

The amount of value given in free content alone over the years has been more than worth what it costs to pay for patreon now on top of all the exclusive and early patreon content. Thanks Matt!!
If you’re not in the Patreon you are leaving chips on the table! The amount of insight, information and coaching on there is top tier. No matter where you are in the world the Patreon bridges the gap for training and education! Thank you Matt for your coaching and what you’re continuing to build and put out into the community 💪🏼🤙🏼
🙏🙏🙏
Matt’s experience, combined with his knowledge and willingness to keep learning is very impressive. As an elite member of Patreon, I have experienced the impossible, given my injury history, I swore I would never do a conventional deadlift again and after 5 years of not doing it and 18 months of Matt’s training I smoke a PR at a deficit, after turning 40 over 4 years ago, I haven’t sniffed a pr as I was consistently starting over from injury. I have no other explanation other than training advice from Clint Darden and Matt Wenning programming - my back actually feels stronger than ever and I believe with his method I can continue to have fun in the gym. Thank you Matt!
🙏🙏🙏🙏
So much knowledge! Mom of 5 here. After 1 year of dabbling in training, zero athletic backround, I met Matt at the Swis in 2022, just after my 40th birthday. Matt made training easy to understand, the how and why it all works. He put in the time with me to learn various techniques with proper form online and in person, an absolute game changer. My strength and the change in my body have been amazing. The opportunity to travel and train at his gym with his crew in person, is next level energy. Hit my goal of benching 135lb on New Years Eve this year, after working with him for just a little over 1year🙌 My 4 daughters have also been inspired by seeing what their mom is capable of. My son is a young wrestler and watches Matt's videos and works to be stronger too. Longevity for life🙌 Goals of being the grandma that can still bench 😂
Keep up the great work
@@williamlawlor7445 Thank you! Absolutely loving the whole process 💪
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Love the no filter matt has for life and training 😂. Great advice and knowledge from him as always. Thanks elitefts for the consistency and quality 🙏
🙏🙏🙏🙏
I could listen to you guys go back and fourth all day
💯💯💯💯
I'm no doctor so I don't want to speak out of turn, but from what I know, elevated BP is an issue when it's chronic, especially for the kidneys. When we're squatting, even with big weights, it only lasts a few seconds and then it's over. And we're not doing that constantly every single day. The amount of gear you take doesn't matter so much as the response. Some guys have their lipids destroyed while some don't, and some get really high BP while others don't, relatively speaking. If your BP has been chronically elevated in part due to AAS, even in small doses, then that could lead to issues over the course of decades for someone like Matt who has been training for a long time. That's of course in conjunction with any genetic predispositions or stuff like agent orange (which is crazy to think that people were hurt with that kind of stuff). Glad he's doing better now though. I've had rhabdo before. Anything kidney related is scary.
Praying for your recovery Matt!, Great video!
🙏🙏🙏
It’s wild you guys were at one of the best gyms ever and did great and people ding you for it
“The right side of my spine was pissed.” Whooo brother do I understand that. Everywhere. Working on range of motion and light weights at 65 to try to get back to normal pain. Enjoy the process.
Looking forward to hearing back from Matt on how the stem cells went after enough time has passed! Hope it all works out for the better, been thinking about stem cells myself as it seems promising(though expensive)!
💯💯💯
Matt is the real deal. He knows his stuff and breaks it down, so everyone can understand it. If you’re not on his patreon you’re doing yourself a huge disservice.
🙏💪💪💪
I wanna dress Matt up as Mrs Doubtfire and have him be my nanny for the day.
Always a treat to listen to matt
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Matt hit the nail on the head. It’s been so confusing reading things from Verkhoshansky and his daughter, then reading things from Zatsiorsky or Issurin. Then finishing disagreements in texts and then unsure of what to make of it lol
I hope Matt recovers. Although I do not believe that these problems were caused by training. Although if there is anyone that can have problems of this nature caused by extremebtrsining That is Matt because what he has done over the years can hardly be matched by anyone. Possibly Chriss Duffin who squatted over 800 pounds every day for a month and some other people from westide who lifted exstreme pounds for decadeds
Wishing you a full and speedy recovery Matt. I found the best thing for high blood pressure is zone 2 cardio, rotating between the bike, treadmill and rowing machine. Looking forward to the next update.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
How to lift big weights in powerlifting
1. Shaved head
2. Goatee beard
3. Go lift
🤣🤣🤣
Matts stays knowledgeable. I pray you stay healthy Matt.
🙏🙏🙏
I'm here for every episode with Wenning or Wendler. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
💪💪💪💪
YUP!!!
Great watch, thanks for sharing
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hey Matt… my prayers for you to be 100% alright
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Fascinating interview 👍
💪💪💪💪🙏
I don't know if it's logistically reasonable but it would be great to have Matt back at least once or twice a month.
I feel like I get a lot out of Matt and he is levels above other guests.
The concepts of waving intensity and volume and exercise selection.
The concept of volume tolerance being both fluid and individual specific and the concept that excessive volume above a certain threshold is catabolic. These are concepts that most coaches don't even bother to discuss or at least don't have a conceptual framework built around them
🙏🙏🙏 took many years to understand all this
@mattwenning2164 yeah definitely I wrote this comment about 1/3rd through only but yeah tons of great free info here. Thank you!!
Would be nice but there is such a thing as too much of a good thing
Matt seems like he’d be an amazing coach.
Holy shit Matts knowledge on programming on warm up and proper intensity just lit a bulb. Im going back to the drawing board on my program now.
Matt Wenning might be right about lifting and kidneys because Louie Simmons died from kidney issues. Correlation does not necessarily equal causation, but managing one’s blood pressure is vital to one’s survival
You don’t think that was down to Louie famously getting dirty gear including orals for over 40 years 😂
@@razman95x I’m sure that didn’t help
Tough to say. I know Mitchell Hooper has talked about heavy lifting having an effect on blood vessels in the brain. I'm sure it does impact the kidneys and other organs. I suppose it would be more pronounced the heavier the weights are which is perhaps another reason we should move away from geared power lifting and embrace raw.
It’s PED abuse plain and simple. He’s gaslighting everyone because has a huge ego. You don’t become an Elite level powerlifter and break records being natural. He’s full of shit. He’s as natural as Mike O’Hearn.
Best guest. I’ll always tune in when he’s on. Thx
💪💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏
Great table talk. No BS.
💯💯💯
Thank you Matt!
Alot if people today havnt a clue how easy it is to access good info and take it all for granted. I remember and I'm sure lots of others do, you had to wait a month for the next mag (and there were only a handful) to be released to get your monthly info which was, in a lot of cases, written by writers who didn't know shit. . Today, you've got things straight from the horses mouth, for free and people bitch about it. A shit load of free content. Oh shit I forgot to mention that the people that create the content are gaining from it. They should be. It's free content but it still costs money to makem
Big time
Its only made worse by the dumbing down of the internet
Thank you so much for this Video. 😎✌💪

@@mattwenning2164 Thank you very much
All the best for you and your Family.

Matt the encyclopedia wenning
Respectfully, the kidney story is “odd”. I don’t really no what to make of it. There is either an encyclopedia of information being omitted (which is totally cool, I wouldn’t even talk about if I were him probably) or something else is off.
He could have done max effort daily and it wouldn’t do that damage to his kidneys.
Drugs, high bodyweight, and the overall lifestyle etc. it gets a little tiring these guys contorting themselves like a pretzel to avoid the drug discussion. That said, I don’t think it’s directly the drugs but likely years of higher blood pressure.
Further, it’s none of my business…but he’s talking about it in a way that is obviously going to be fodder for speculation.
Either way I wish him well and a full recovery.
where is the caption ？
Talking about trt, I noticed the same thing about not losing much strength.
But, I was only off for 8 weeks.
I was put on trt the first week of June 2001, the week I turned 31.
One day in December of 2016 or 2017, I can’t remember the exact date now, I took my weekly shot and it was one of those shots that just hurt for some reason, so I was like, I am tired of this, what will happen if I just stop taking it after all these years.
So around week 3 I start feeling tired and irritated. I keep training but really don’t feel like it.
Around week 5-6 I start feeling fuzzy headed, like I am walking around in a dream, weird feeling.
At week 7 I have labs drawn and my testosterone is at 54.
So after 8 weeks off I go back on and have been on ever since.
My dose is 120mg weekly.
But having a testosterone level that low did not feel good at all. And I think that my strength didn’t drop much because it was only 8 weeks.
I do know that when I started trt at 31 it completely changed my life! I felt so much better, my workouts became incredible, and I even gained 20 pounds the first 3 months of trt. I leveled off at that 20 pound gain but over the years I have been 20 pounds heavier but always come back down to this baseline weight when I am no longer eating or working out as intensely.
💯💯💯
You should see the stuff coming out of Alberta right now. Gets me pumped, Static Monster in June.
Zadrunas's Masters record may fall by Ryan Vance. That guy and a few other old guys took me for my first strongman session. Will not miss that either, it's gonna be intense!
Is he saying that he never used anything higher than TRT dose?
Nah, just that they weren't using drugs all the time like bb'ers do
Did Matt say he squatted 900 and benched 600 naturally?1?!
Yep!!!
903 6 ish bench 722 deadlift before any TRT
Bear in mind the 900lbs was in gear. That's no slight against Matt, he's a fantastic raw lifter. I'm just saying it makes more sense when you remember that. Although you obviously still need incredible genetics and it was back in the early 00s. Think people underestimate the best genetics.
@@Adam-gn5khthe 844 before the 900 was usapl
That's insane. What were you doing before conjugate Matt? Linear? I'd love to see how you built that base before going to Westside. Eagerly awaiting the book and love how you've made conjugate so much easier to understand. I'm 50 now and still loving the process. @@mattwenning2164
Did he say embryonic stem cells?
Yes.
@@johnsambo9379 thanks.
Yeah no dead baby injections for me. I like Matt, but can't agree with promoting that.
@@malstew123agreee
@@malstew123agreed 👍
@@Damian.Williams haven't been able to finish the podcast due to work. Did Dave push back on that or ask about it at all?
If there's no discussion of that then it's tacit approval and I'm done supporting them financiallly.
I'm sorry but Matt's hard to like he just talks about all these big words and just acts like he just is so impressed with himself when he should never be impressed himself who the fuck is he and I just don't understand why he talks like that and he name drops he talks about all these famous people and these doctors that work with Hugh Jackman and acts like there is friends and talks about Stan effferdine like that's his good friend when Stan was making fun of Westside barbell and he said he never even heard of it till a couple years ago
All incorrect - appears you have issues. Possibly listen to my info instead of being a hater - you may be better off. 💪💪
I don't think that Matt is arrogant at all lol. I think he just speaks very forthright and is confident about what he knows.
He doesn't impress me, either. I learned Westside from Gritter and the Newark night crew. Anytime Wenning's on I skip on past.
@@donjuanmckenzie4897 you don't think he's arrogant when he name drops all these famous people and acts like he was going to be the strength coach for the Cleveland browns and talks about Bill kasmaier like it's his good friend and talks about all these famous people and says that Louie really didn't know what he was doing and that his methods are better which I don't agree with either one of their methods cuz I think equip lifting sucks gear lifting whatever you want to call it most of these guys are nowhere near as strong as they appear to be when you remove all that gear they're they're not even in the stratosphere of those numbers but winning is just just an arrogant guy that tries to sound like he's the smartest guy in the room whenever he's talking and you can tell he doesn't really respect Louie he thinks he's smarter than Louie ecause he has a college degree and things like that and Louie doesn't come off as like a real educated guy and that's why he thinks he's superior to Louie Louie forgot more than that guy knows and I'm not even a big fan of Louie's style of lifting but he does know his stuff I had a 465 completely raw bench press no steroids maybe a little bit of creatine at my peak about 10 years ago and most of those guys at Westside can't do that without the steroids and the gear
Matt ..science experiment you have become ....rest and fasting would have helped heal
I mean I'm no Doc and ots just my opinion but these guys are never like it was the juice....and they abused it heavily
Wenning's kidneys being cooked from agent orange is messed up
But possible if you do your homework
@mattwenning2164 im not denying thats the case, in fact it seems like that's probably the main reason for what's happening to you. I just think it sucks that, that's effected you and your whole family.
Guys it's the animal protein and meat. For decades. No one needs 200+ grams a day
Utterly ridiculous comment.
Louie liked him only because all the other big dogs left Westside, and Matt was the last big lifter
Wrong - many were still there like panora 💯 vlad 💯 Harrington etc. want me to keep going???
At the time Matt left westside Greg Panora was multiple record holder.
@@mattwenning2164That’s a good man to set the record right in honesty 👊
What kind of wack comment is this?
I never met louie. Only spoke to him on the phone twice. Two things I noticed straight off was he was blunt and fixed in his ways. He loved training though and would help anyone who he felt was serious about their training. He was blunt though. You ask a q, you get an answer and if you like it then tough shit. Great man though.
What a shit-ton of information here!!!! You guys are great! TY 🫶
