The founder of Wolf Brigade Gym gives us his counter-cultural take on what really matters in fitness.

Real world capability trumps gym strength every time.

To build unexpected strength, first build an implement that behaves in unexpected ways.

You can't anticipate everything they'll throw at you in a strongman competition, but these basic implements will lay the foundation.

Lifting heavy barbells is good, but moving things outside the gym is what real strength is about.

Strongman-strong is a special kind of strong. We can learn a lot from taking a look at the basic principles of this training - whether you aim to be a strongman or simply a strong man.
