Strength is Never a Weakness w/ Mark Bell

Mark Bell has a saying - "Strength is Never a Weakness and Weakness is Never a Strength."Today on Ep. 06 of The Essential Strength Podcast, Mike and David had the honor of spending over an hour talking to the one and only Mark Bell about how strength plays a roll in his life inside and outside the gym. While most people are familiar with "Smelly" as the owner of Mark Bell's Slingshot and Super Training Gym, the man who has squatted 1,000lbs and continues to workout like a savage - we wanted to know how he uses his strength to be a good father and a good husband. We were fascinated by a man who has been very open about his struggles in school and yet he has become obsessed with learning and providing so much education to his audience. We even find out a little known fact about the first book Mark has ever read.We dive into times where Mark has had to overcome fear and discuss how embracing the hard workouts and "staying in the pocket" prepared him for difficult times in his life. We talk about the incredible culture at Super Training gym and how Mark approaches leadership. It would almost be easier to just list the thing's we DIDN'T talk about, because we talked about A LOT on today's episode. We hope that in the end you all feel inspired to believe in yourselves and your dreams, to lean into you interests and passions, and to create something that will live on long after you are gone.For more Mark Bell, check out the following:Mark Bell's Slingshot - https://markbellslingshot.com/Mark Bell's YouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/user/supertraining06Mark Bell's Power Project - https://markbellspowerproject.libsyn.com/ & https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXEj4RFUC44sHoBLvi4G1XAMark Bell on IG - https://www.instagram.com/marksmellybell/This guy is pumping out more quality content than just about anyone in the health and fitness space.
