Jim Wendler Interview

July 27, 2011 By Gregor Winter

Found this Jim Wendler audio interview by Dave Tate (direct link to mp3).

Jim talks about his transition from division one football athlete to powerlifting, back to regaining his competative shape after retiring from powerlifting.

What did he do correctly?

  • focusing on basic lifts, squat, bench, deadlift, clean
  • always read and ask questions
  • track progress

What did he do wrong?

  • too few hamstring work
  • too few lower back work
  • too few ab work
  • not being patient
  • should have put more focus on recovery, mobility flexibility, nutrition
  • would have chosen more realistic goals
