We welcome Matt Wiedemer to this episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk Podcast!

Matt Wiedemer brings a powerhouse resume to the table, blending elite-level coaching, entrepreneurship, and lifting experience. With over two decades in the strength and conditioning game, Matt is best known as the co-owner of Beat Fitness—a facility he's owned and operated for 20 years. His gym became a training ground for champions, including UFC legends Jon Jones and Henry Cejudo, along with numerous other professional fighters.

Matt's career began under the mentorship of one of the greats, Buddy Morris, working alongside him at both the University of Pittsburgh and with the Cleveland Browns. This foundation laid the groundwork for Matt’s philosophy of high-performance training that bridges athleticism with real-world application.

In addition to his coaching pedigree, Matt is a decorated powerlifter, having totaled elite in the 198, 220, and 242-pound classes across raw, raw with wraps, and multi-ply divisions. His experience on the platform gives him a rare dual perspective—as both an athlete and a coach—that resonates with lifters of all levels.

Today, Matt is also a co-owner of Parrillo Performance, a legacy performance and nutrition brand known for its science-backed products and deep roots in bodybuilding and strength sports. His work continues to influence and shape the performance industry, from combat sports to strength training to supplement innovation.
