The World's Strongest 70 Year Old

The word legend is thrown around too often, but in this episode, we are genuinely joined by a legend of strength sports – Odd Haugen.

The World's Strongest 70 Year Old

The word legend is thrown around too often, but in this episode, we are genuinely joined by a legend of strength sports – Odd Haugen.

Odd was America’s Strongest Man in 1999, has broken multiple world records, competed, and won national titles in bodybuilding, weightlifting, and powerlifting, and helped organize and judge numerous events worldwide.

He coached Martins Licis to the 2019 Worlds’ Strongest Man title. And if that wasn’t enough, at the age of 70, he’s stronger than you!

In this episode, we discuss the lessons he’s learned over 60 years of training.

We discover the secrets to his amazing grip strength and lifting longevity.

This is a fascinating insight into what it takes to get to the top and stay there.

You can also find this podcast sitting on top of all my other Six Pack of Knowledge podcasts (curated discussions with the greatest hypertrophy experts on the planet).

Or look for Breaking Muscle’s channel and podcasts on the following services: iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, Stitcher, PlayerFM, PodBean.
