Courage Barbell Unlimited

A great quote from Bruce Lee

Interview with Dr. Ben Pollack.  Pro bodybuilder and powerlifter.

This world is so polarized, and it just seems to me it is getting worse.  Maybe if the world took a lesson from top lifters, then things would start improving.

In this episode we talk about a Michael Jordan quote "I failed over and over and over again in my life; that is why I succeed."

The fact is everything is easier with the right people around us and on the flip side it is harder with the wrong people around us.  You do have control over who your tribe is.  

So the self named and self proclaimed drug free Liver King is on steroids.  He is claims to be sorry but for what I wonder.  Not such a big issue in my life but I continue to ask my opinion on the subject so here it is.  I really just hope people learn from this fiasco.

The striving and struggling for goal worthy of him.

A quote by Aristotle 

Interview with my friend and legendary pro strongman Nick Best.

This episode I talk about a great quote from Henry Rollings.

I had the very great pleasure to talk with BMX legend Rick Thorne.  This is someone I watched and cheered for in my youth.  One of the best things about this episode to me was getting to sit down with a legend of another sport and see how similar the mindsets are of the people that become successful in their chosen sports.

Talking another very cool quote!

In this episode I have the great pleasure of interviewing Jon Call aka Jujimufu.  This was another awesome episode of two athletes just talking training.  We went down many paths and spent a lot of time talking about the mental side of training which is one of my favorite subjects.  I highly recommend you take the time to listen and would find it hard to believe you could not get some good take aw...

The degree to which we can grow is equal to the truth we can accept.

In this episode I get to sit down with Scott Mendelson who is the CEO of Infinity Fitness.  He has many years of experience in training and nutrition with the highest level athletes in many different sports.  He is a wealth of knowledge and takes a very logical and straight forward approach with all his clients.  

I recently got to speak at the SWIS Symposium which was a great honor.  I spoke about conquering depression in strength sports and lifting but I only had a 15 min slot.  So, I thought I would take this chance to expand on my talk there and be able to go more in depth.

Another new episode of the Quotes.  Today a quote by Oscar Wilde.

My take on an old saying that someone always has it worse.  

This is an outstanding video where we interview Shelly Cannon and just keep going off the rails in so many great directions.  It feels like it is getting to listen in to two friends just talking which is very much the direction I want things to go.  Shelly has such a diverse background and has kept such an amazing attitude going through some very life threatening situations.  She has been successf...

Back talking about another quote I have that love hate relationship with.

First off I apologize that the first 15mins the audio is not really great but you can hear.  It will be worth with if you continue to listen since my guest holds the all time biggest bench press in history.  After that I caught my mistake and it improves greatly.  I am still figuring everything out and I learn best from making mistakes! lol My guest for this episode is Jimmy Kolb and he is one of...

Another interesting quote I do like, but I feel needs a bit more thought to go with it.

I hear a lot about visualization in sports but not nearly enough in strength sports.  It is a very powerful tool when done correctly and consistently.

I had the great pleasure of interviewing one of the best bench pressers of all time, the great JM Blakley.  

Another quote that I saw from a different angle then who I think it was intended to be for.
