With a nickname like "The Godfather," Dave Spitz is clearly doing something right. The founder and mastermind behind much of California Strength's growth, he's a massive figure in American weightlifting. His team (not to mention his direct coaching) has produced some of the top U.S. lifters in the last decade and helped popularize the sport with an early and huge online following. If you've ever searched the web for lifting motivation and stumbled across videos of Donny Shankle, Jon North, Spencer Moorman, or other Cal Strength athletes, chances are you have Dave to thank.But Dave Spitz is just getting started. In this episode of The BarBend Podcast, we dive deep on a number of topics, including:Cal Strength's growthBeing early YouTube strength pioneersDave's experience coaching NFL stars and prepping college players for the combineDoes the U.S. "lose" top weightlifters to other sports?The Bulgarian SystemWhy Wes Kitts is a once-in-a-decade (or rarer) athlete for Cal Strength

Dave Spitz has arguably affected more weightlifters than any other American in history. Not only is Dave an incredible coach, but he is also an extremely smart businessman. By marrying these two qualities together he has produced the most famous weightlifting team in the world: California Strength. In this episode we spoke about Pan Ams, the 'golden era' of Cal Strength, Wes Kitts' continual development, the serious discussions all coaches must have, the fall of Scott Hisaka, and of course Ivan Abadjiev and Donny Shankle.Follow Dave & Cal Strenght - https://www.instagram.com/cal_strength/ , https://www.californiastrength.com/Thumb Tape!Support the podcast with 25% off on your first order here - https://www.weightliftinghouse.com/landing/weightlifting-tape-launch-offer/Amazon SupportSupport us by going through our Amazon link when you make a purchase!
