Ep. 113: Standing Up to Bullies and Toxic Masculinity with Bobby Maximus

Bobby Maximus is widely known for his time fighting in the UFC, but his work is much more than that. After spending his youth at the mercy of bullies, he knew that the only way to get ahead is to get physically and mentally stronger than those who want to torture you. Now he spends his time helping people use fitness to become the best version of themselves, all while taking down bullies, self limitations, and redefining what it means to be a man in the 21st century.   bobbymaximus.com @bobbymaximus   Finding his way to fighting and to strength training [2:05] Fighting in the UFC: keeping up the brain along with the body [6:32] Can you become complacent if you’re satisfied with your body?
