    Ep. 460: Strongman Strength Secrets REVEALED

    Ep. 460: Strongman Strength Secrets REVEALED

    Riddle me this, friendo: How is it that old school strongmen in the 1800s and early 1900s managed to set a wide array of strength records that still stand TO THIS DAY - despite:
    Shorter lifespans More life-threatening diseases Inadequate medical treatment More expensive and often lower-quality food And a litany of other seemingly insurmountable obstacles in their path? 
    The answer: they had a method. 
    I reveal this method in part on this short but riveting episode. Tune in, chill out, and enjoy.

    Ep. 459: Dave Daglow on Training (and Gaining) *Without* Pain | 9MinuteChallenge.com

    I'm joined on this episode by athletic coach and fitness revolutionary Dave Daglow.
    In this episode we talk all about Dave's back story - from up-and-coming athlete to severely injured and in desperate need of figuring out how to put himself back together again.
    From this humble beginning, he came to a series of startling realizations about his own body, that of other athletes, and the entire notion of exercise as we think about it - and from there he set out to get people back in touch with their TRUE athletic nature, one mover at a time.
