When Strength Was Earned (Not Streamed) 📺


Good morning, Gladiator - today is our final day here in
Georgia and it's been one helluva trip.

The travel sports experience continues to be something
that reminds me what NOT to do when it comes to
coaching and business.

I've spent amazing time with my son and we've had a
lot of laughs and great experiences together.

I shared a few of them to my Instagram.

==========

Today I want to continue sharing my lessons from
the era that most influencers are trying to sell
today as "secrets" and another desperate call
for attention.

That's now what The IRON Greats wanted.

They wanted us to honor them, respect them and
share their message in purity.

I've been doing that for over 20 years and will continue to do so.

Have You ever wondered what real strength looked like before flashy influencers took over?

​Check out Ep 17 of Iron Roots, where Jan Dellinger—one of the last men to work under Bob Hoffman—pulls back the curtain on the old York gym as we chat together at The York Barbell Hall of Fame Museum.

Jan Dellinger is the last living employee who worked under
Bob Hoffman, John Grimek and other greats of York Barbell.

I am very grateful to be able to share these lessons
so they continue to live on....

Please enjoy......

Good morning, Gladiator. I have a great reminder for you today..... Yesterday evening I went to my local high schooland got to watch some Summer Wrestling. It's quite simple actually, yet the "experts" keep denying these truths. The majority of wrestlers who were jacked and strong were the wrestlers who were winning. Yep. In a world where the "gooroos" are talking like everyone is "too strong" and how strength is making them slower, I saw the opposite. The wrestlers who were jacked and strong...

Good morning, fellow Gladiator. I hope you had a GREAT weekend and you are ready to destroy everything that stands in your way. All weekend I was in Staten Island for Baseball and I was remembering when Staten Island was known for having a few hardcore gyms. Those days are gone. Today, the "hardcore" are mostly in their own garage and basement gyms. Commercial Gyms are an extension of influencers and too many peopleworking their thumbs while laying on benches and machines as if it was their...
