Dave Tate's Iron Evolution (eBook)

Dave Tate's Iron Evolution (eBook)

108 pages

Dave Tate has accomplished pretty much everything a man can do under the bar — and lived to tell about it. He's an elite level powerlifter who, despite suffering injuries and setbacks that would cripple a mere mortal, still pushes himself to be a better man than he was yesterday, in and out of the gym. He's a sought-after consultant for all things forged by iron, whether the goal is to achieve superhuman strength or build a superhero physique. A lot of gurus have talent and knowledge along with pristine resumes that sparkle with untested potential; Tate's curriculum vitae is beaten up and covered in chalk, with each accomplishment a testament to a life spent surviving — and thriving — under the bar.

This is the story of his life. Originally published in multiple segments on t-nation.com, reprinted on elitefts.com, and read by thousands of aspiring lifters, it is now compiled into one eBook. This is as close to a Dave Tate autobiography as you will ever get. It is his life — and training — story, with an uncensored chapter for every step of the way.
