Support System Part 2

Here are some of my people that I consider friends, that I deal with and talk to on a regular basis, and some of the things we talk about to build each other up. So I mentioned Dennis Rogers in the last blog post and Dennis is one of my close friends. We’ve been each other’s friend [...]

Support Systems

There are people who make a big deal out of being lone wolves. You know what? I believe you need to be completely self-reliant. In fact, one of the books that we’ve published is being re-titled right now is Eric Guttmann’s book. It will now be entitled The Self Reliance Manifesto. However, I also believe you ought to be [...]

The Green-Eyed Monster

You know what amazes me in talking about personal growth and those things is the amount of people who are driven by motives that are self-destructive. I know some of the strongest people in the world, some of the most amazing people in the world, at many different disciplines not just strength. Some of them [...]

That One Person in the Audience

In doing shows, you develop a feel for people in the audience. I almost exclusively talk about muscle and things in relation to that but I want to broaden that sense as we go here and talk about the relationships, how you deal with people, and building a real person, not just a muscle head, [...]

Boredom – Create an Interesting Life

One of the other advantages about doing these tours and the things that I do is I get to go out and people-watch. I sat at a restaurant today eating lunch, listening to a couple of ladies discuss the current events and the Jodi Arias trial. I’ve seen men and women all over the country discussing this [...]

Thor’s Hammer

There’s a reason that Thor, the mythical Norse god for thunder, carried a hammer. A hammer is one of the oldest weapons and oldest training tools in mankind. Even if you look at the truncheons and the different heavy clubs around the world, many of them were used as a hammer style to swing. For [...]

It’s a Hammer, Just Swing It

So any time we put out something new or rebuild a product that you’ve already done, you’re going to get some flak from people, especially if it’s a tool-based physical training product. They’re going to say, “Don’t buy anything from anybody. Just use the tool and you’re smart enough to do it on your own.” Well, that’s [...]

Slim the Hammerman on Super Strength

If you don’t know, I’ve been out touring and I visited Slim, The Hammer Man, a couple of months or so ago. I got an amazing chance to tour his dungeon, the gym that he trained in, and talked to him about what he did. One of the things he talked about, and this is probably one [...]
