Eyeroll…
Your evoked feelings from the vaca gym “fluencer” kid is priceless. It’s so amusing IRL to. Appreciate the pod.
FOREVER STRONG
Being Forever Strong and training for longevity is more than just a saying to me. Being a dad to a son who is on the autism spectrum, I need to be capable and around for as long as possible to potentially have to take care of my son for the long haul. Father Time is undefeated but the longer I can stay in the game and stay as fit and jacked as possible for my son and my family the better, and Joe D and his training advice help me to do just that. I’ll be 37 this year and am starting to be able to see my abs while preserving/gaining muscle for the first time thanks to this podcast and the Team Forever Strong app! I’ve been listening to the Industrial Strength Show since about 2017 and haven’t looked back since. Joe Defranco gives you real world practical tips and tricks that you can actually use to improve your health and fitness and practices what he preaches. Anybody can give you a 12 week program to (insert goal) but few trainers help you for the long haul to feel as good as you’ll look. With that being said Joe D has earned my trust and respect and he is my go-to resource for health and fitness. Give him and this podcast a chance, you won’t regret it.

It’s like being part of the podcast
As a washed up meathead, I’ve read Joe’s info online for years and even chatted him up in early message board days (the opposite of cancel culture). I was thrilled years ago when he launched his podcast and I’ve listened to every single episode. Joe has freely given priceless knowledge to the fitness industry and enthusiasts while sharing personal & real world anecdotes. Joe is a constant source of inspiration in & out of the gym. Not only do I enjoy the podcast, but I have been using many of Joe’s nutrition products for years (shoutout to Clean Greens). I previously enlisted the help of THE GURU, Dr. Tom (RIP). Joe is a master of his craft and has an uncanny ability of distilling complex items down to understandable terms. Joe shows his humility by reaching out to other industry experts to enhance his knowledge and then share with the Industrial Strength Nation. Thank you for all that you do and I look forward to more. And thank you eternally for the love and support that you’ve given my daughter and I. Keep being a great father…the way you do anything is the way you do everything! 🤜🏼
