#351 Everything You Know About Raw Lifting is a LIE | Dan Green

We welcome Dan Green to this episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk Podcast!

Dan Green is a powerlifting icon and the owner of Boss Barbell Club in Mountain View, California. A 10-time world record-setting powerlifter, Dan has been a dominant force in the sport for over a decade. Known for his raw strength, technical precision, and commanding platform presence, he has etched his name into the history of powerlifting with standout lifts across multiple weight classes.

Since 2012, Dan has represented ANIMAL as one of their elite athletes, turning heads at the Arnold Sports Festival's Animal Cage with jaw-dropping performances—including his legendary 900 lb beltless conventional deadlift that became an instant classic in strength sports media.

Off the platform, Dan is a sought-after strength coach, having personally guided hundreds of athletes from beginner lifters to elite competitors. His expertise has taken him around the globe, leading over 100 seminars and sharing the principles behind his success. Dan's coaching philosophy blends old-school intensity with modern programming, making him a valuable mentor to lifters chasing PRs and records alike.

Beyond the gym, Dan is grounded by his faith and family. He's a devoted Christian, a loving husband, and the proud father of four.
