#178 Blind Dog Strong with Mark Valenti

We are joined all the way from Vermillion, Ohio USA by Mark Valenti; former pro heavy events athlete, Strongfirst Certified Elite Instructor, owner of 'Blind Dog Strong' gym, reader of books & swinger of Kettlebells! We discuss competing for 18 years in Highland Games, learning directly from Louie Simmons at Westside Barbell, transitioning to Strongman, becoming Strongfirst Elite & lifting the Husafell Stone in Iceland! This is a fascinating conversation with a rugged, strong & intelligent man who has a lifetime of strength achievements behind him & many challenges still ahead.
