Strength is the oldest test there is. Can you pick it up, carry it, press it overhead? London Real has asked the strongest people alive how they built that power and what it cost. Brian Rose has sat down with a World’s Strongest Man winner, professional strongmen, a strength coach to Olympians and a six-time Mr Olympia known for brutal, brief workouts. The conversations cover training methods, eating for size, injury, pain and the mindset to keep going. Every full interview is free to watch.
From World’s Strongest Man winner Eddie Hall and “The American Monster” Robert Oberst to strength coach Charles Poliquin, Strength Camp founder Elliott Hulse, endurance strongman Ross Edgley and six-time Mr Olympia Dorian Yates: how the strongest people on earth train and think.
Eddie Hall, known as “The Beast”, won World’s Strongest Man and tells Brian what it took to get there. Robert Oberst, a professional strongman since 2012, explains how he became “The American Monster” and why the sport suits outsiders. Elliott Hulse, a former competitive strongman who built Strength Camp and a large YouTube following, argues that the body and the mind cannot be trained apart. In a London Real compilation, Hall, Dorian Yates, Ross Edgley and David Goggins explain why they believe most people quit at 40% of their real capacity.
Strength coach Charles Poliquin (1961 to 2018) coached Olympians in many sports. He talked about earning your carbs, the myth of discipline and doping in sport. Dorian Yates takes Brian through a high-intensity training session and explains why he believes short, very hard sets beat long workouts. Ross Edgley argues that strength and endurance can be built together, a view he tested with feats like the Great British Swim. Former soldier and natural bodybuilder Jamie Alderton shares his approach to body transformation.
