We welcome Tony Carlino to this episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk Podcast!

Tony Carlino is a powerhouse in the world of bench pressing, holding five all-time world records and commanding respect across the strength community. At 37 years old, Tony lives in Deltona, Florida with his fiancée Shelly Cannon. Together, they are the founders and owners of EverStrong, a company rooted in their shared passion for strength, resilience, and helping others build their best selves.

Tony’s bench press numbers are in a league of their own. His career-best lifts include an astonishing 1,207-pound bench in the unlimited division, a 900-pound single-ply bench, and what he considers his most meaningful achievement: a 1,036-pound bench in multi-ply gear. That last lift stands as a testament to his relentless work ethic, technical mastery, and sheer grit—traits that define not just his lifting, but his life and business.
