Strength Beyond Strength Podcast

Dave Whitley

Strength Beyond Strength with Iron Tamer Dave Whitley This show is about what it really means to be strong. Not just in the gym — but in life, where strength gets tested for real. I’m Dave Whitley, a performing strongman, coach, and dad. After walking away relatively unharmed from a truck wreck tin Feb 2025, I started thinking about the deeper meaning of strength... that muscle alone isn’t enough. Real strength is far more... Here we talk about physical training, mental resilience, and spiritual growth, the kind of strength that lets you rebuild yourself when life hits harder than any weight ever could. Because true strength goes beyond lifting or bending steel. This is Strength Beyond Strength. Along with my own solo episodes, I’ll be doing talk-show style interviews about all of that stuff and more.  Socials:https://www.instagram.com/irontamer/ personal facebook:https://www.facebook.com/irontamer1 Professional facebook:https://www.facebook.com/irontamer Do you live in the the contiguous United States?

    S2E2: John Du Cane and the Impetus Behind the Modern Kettlebell Resurgence

    In this episode, we go back to the beginning for me, as far as kettlebells go. I started playing with KBs in 2002 and attended Dragon Door's RKC certification in 2003. On today's show, I reconnected with John Du Cane, the founder and CEO of Dragon Door Publications, a company dedicated to the development and promotion of innovative fitness resources.  John is best known as the co-architect of the modern kettlebell movement in 2001. Along with Dragon Door's author Pavel Tsatsouline, John created the world's first-ever kettlebell instructor certification system, manufactured a unique set of kettlebells in Minnesota and published the world's first-ever book and video on kettlebell training, The Russian Kettlebell Challenge. Much copied, Dragon Door's flagship RKC kettlebell program became the industry's gold standard and a fitness movement that transformed the health of tens of millions globally. In addition to kettlebell training, Dragon Door has been acclaimed for initiating a resurgence of interest in calisthenics and isometrics. http://www.dragondoor.com —----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stay Connected with me on the Socials!

    S2E1-From Wreckage to Reset: Crash, Clarity, and Coaching

    It’s been a while since you’ve heard from me on the Advancing Man Project. In this short update, I pull back the curtain on what’s been happening in my life over the past seven or eight months. I talk about the truck accident that could have ended everything—and how walking away from it gave me a new perspective on life and strength. I share why the podcast itself is undergoing a rebrand, what that means for the direction of the show, and why now is the time for me to step fully back into coaching. If you’ve been following my journey, this is your inside look at where I’ve been, what I’ve learned, and where we’re going from here. Topics covered in this episode: Flipping my truck and the lessons I took from itHow the accident became a turning pointWhy the Advancing Man Project podcast is evolvingMy return to coaching and how you can connect with meLet’s Connect: If you’re ready to get stronger, leaner, move better, and expand your comfort zone—reach out. This is just the beginning of the next chapter. —----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Support the show with your donations here: http://tinyurl.com/enrwnam8 Stay Connected with me on the Socials!
