Iron Roots Ep 22 🎙️ Jan Dellinger Pt 6 • Ken Patera Workouts, 80s Steelers Football Workouts & Steve Reeves
Part 6 of the Jan Dellinger series is here.
Jan spent decades close to the Iron Game while working at York Barbell. Jan is a York Barbell historian, sharing stories with us that most have never heard. Firsthand witness to the men who built strength culture in America. This episode goes deep on three legends.
Ken Patera and how he worked around injuries. Patera was an Olympic weightlifter turned pro wrestler. One of the strongest men America ever produced. Jan breaks down how Patera trained and what made him different, especially as he "got older".
The Steelers Football Workouts. The 1970s - 80s Steelers were a dynasty built on strength. Jan gives insight into how strength training shaped their early 80s era of football, long before "sports performance" was an industry.
Steve Reeves. Bodybuilding icon. Movie star. The man who inspired a generation to chase symmetry and strength. Jan shares the stories behind the legend and how hey had some great times together with Steve Stanko as well.
This is history you won't find anywhere else. Old School. Real Strength. Raw & Unfiltered.
