New Podcast Alert 🚨

Huge thank you to Dr. John Rusin for coming on Dave Tate’s Table Talk Podcast, Ep. #392.

We went straight at a topic that’s everywhere right now, “functional training”, and why most of what gets labeled functional is really just random work that beats people up, wastes time, and doesn’t carry over to getting stronger or staying in the game.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “winning in the gym” but slowly losing your joints, your performance, or your ability to train hard year after year, this one’s for you. We dug into:

	•	What “functional” should actually mean for lifters, coaches, and strength athletes

	•	How to build durability without turning training into rehab

	•	Keeping intensity in the program while still training pain-free

	•	The difference between smart progress and just accumulating damage

	•	Practical ways to train for longevity without getting soft

This is one of those episodes that can save you years of frustration if you apply even a few of the principles.

This podcast (Dave Tate’s Table Talk Podcast, Dr. John Rusin, Ep. #392) can be seen on elitefts YouTube and Spotify and heard on all podcast networks.
