Performing strongman and coach Dave “Iron Tamer” Whitley joins RAW to unpack the physical and mental frameworks behind classic feats of strength—bending steel, rolling frying pans, and tearing phone books—plus the day‑to‑day training that sustains them. We discuss how he builds grip, torso, and hip power; how breath and focus affect performance; and practical ways lifters can use kettlebells, odd objects, and bodyweight drills to get stronger without overcomplication. You’ll hear actionable programming ideas for home gyms and commercial settings, along with lessons on resilience and presentation from a lifelong performer.
