Lessons of the Old-Time Strongman

Every person that we interview on The Super Strength Show has an opportunity to answer some extra questions that aren’t asked in the podcast. It’s a chance for our listeners to learn a little bit more about our guests and to get even more value from our show. Check out Iron Tamer Dave Whitley’s answers below!

Can you share one of your habits that contribute to your success in the gym? I love what I do and I do what I love. I only do things that help me move toward my desired goal and I do them consistently.

What are your favourite exercises? Right now: Bent press, kettlebell swings, deadlifts, grip work, bending steel, lifting sledgehammers.

What are your favourite muscle groups to train? Grip/hand strength and old-time strongman feats

What are your favourite pieces of equipment? Barbells, kettlebells, sledgehammers, pieces of steel. Electric guitars and amplifiers. My grill.

What is currently on your workout music playlist? Texas Hippie Coalition, Pantera, Amon Amarth, Black Label Society

How do you psych up for a workout or set? I wake up in the morning.

What was one exercise or routine that gave you great gains in muscle mass and/or strength? When my steel bending is strong, I am all over strong.
