The Freedom of Strongman

People ask me what I do professionally I have answered, “I am a powerlifter,” or a fighter or a highland games athlete or a football player or a grappler or a strongman. I can even say a professional and old time strongman when I’m answering the question about what I do and why am I [...]

The Power of Feats of Strength

If you’ve been following for awhile you know I recently finished up with a many month, nation wide school tour where I demonstrated many feats of strength.

My review of Iron Tamer Dave Whitley’s: Lessons of the Old-Time Strongmen

I remember back in the day hanging out with Dave and showing him some of the bar bending and old time strongmen stuff I was doing at the time. Who knew the incredible progress Dave was going to make as a strongman? I don’t know if you’ve seen him up close lately, but he evidently [...]

Stone Lift and Sled Pulls

Killer workout! You’ll need a moderately heavy rock and a moderately heavy sled. Drag or sprint with the sled (dependent on weight) 20-40 yards forward one way and backward back to the return point. Start with the stone – do twenty reps each round and then pull the sled – Five rounds as fast as [...]

Keeping up with workouts while you’re on the road

It’s a common excuse people use for not working out:   “I was on the road, I was traveling, I was on vacation.” This year I’ll be on the road till June 15, 2011 and since strength is my job I can’t give excuses.   Not only do I have kettlebells, dumbbells and ropes in tow [...]
