Elliott Hulse is an American strength coach, former professional strongman and YouTube creator who founded Strength Camp, a gym in St Petersburg, Florida, in 2007. He is known for combining strength training with ideas from bioenergetics, philosophy and meditation, and for running Grounding Camps that use breathing, movement and active meditation.
Brian Rose has interviewed Hulse three times on London Real: twice in July 2015 and once in January 2019. They have talked about his view that the body and mind are one system, how he went from strongman to coach, psychedelics, masculinity and what he sees as the weakening of modern men.
Every interview is listed below in order, with a short summary of each.
The Body Is The Mind (July 2015). His first and longest London Real interview, two hours on strength, self-reflection and the link between body and mind. For his later thinking on masculinity, watch How To Become The Alpha Male (2019).
Hulse argues that physical and mental life cannot be separated, an idea he draws from bioenergetics. His Grounding Camps use breathing, movement and active meditation to release what he sees as tension and limiting beliefs held in the body.
He describes strength as more than lifting weights, covering physical, emotional, mental and spiritual strength, and builds his coaching around developing all four.
Speaking in 2019, Hulse argued that many men today are weak in body and spirit because modern life asks so little of them physically, and that they need challenge and responsibility to grow.
In his 2015 interview he linked his success as a coach and online teacher to hard work, constant reading and honest self-examination, rather than natural talent.
