Welcome to another podcast episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk. Today's guest is Ryan Rhodes with co-host Ilya Khazov.

Ryan Rhodes is a drug-free pro strongman and 5x World's Strongest Man Masters athlete who's competed in multiple weight classes over his past 26 years in the sport. Thriving in spite of his ND, VAST, C-PTSD and pacemaker implant for Stokes Adams Syndrome, he is recognized as the strongest human cyborg ever and the first pro athlete ever to compete with a battery powered heart. Ryan is also a successful business owner, the producer of 'Clash on the Coast' on ESPN- the first strongman competition ever to air live on TV- and has worked with Disney, Warner/Discovery, NBC and Viamedia among others.

Ilya Khazov, born in Russia and based in Cyprus, is a strongman competitor who holds a Guinness world record for rope jumping with an 80kg anvil, a feat he accomplished on Italian TV. In 2022, he competed in the Strongman Champions League, securing notable placements and lifting a 360kg front loader in Finland. Despite a serious bicep tear, he remains focused on competing at top levels, including the World's Strongest Man. Ilya also excels in martial arts and professional paintball, with his team placing third in Europe. Off the field, he enjoys competitive PC gaming and escape rooms with his wife, Lily.
