Episode 123 of The STRONG Life Podcast is with my friend Max Shank who I connected with 10+ years ago after seeing him on early days YouTube lifting BIG stones & competing in ShootFighting.
I've been inspired and educated with seeing Max training and bringing back physical culture in a way that blends all aspects of Health & Strength together.
It is refreshing and inspiring to say the least.
In this episode, Max and I discuss the following:
- Physical Culture & Max's back yard set up (This backyard looks like an old school Russian Playground!)
- Why was Max inspired to implement mobility and movement on a daily basis?
- Discussion on pain and injuries, why they happen and what are injuries and pain a sign of?
- How to handle your overall health if you travel a lot either by plane or car?
- Nutrition for health and Zach' stupid experiment on "The Banana Diet".
- Are we truly physiologically / emotionally ready for the advances in technology and what it's doing to society?
- How Max's training has evolved which helped him avoid getting surgery on his hip and overall, feel better physically and spiritually.
- Thoughts on Genetics and how exercise enhances or inhibits your genetic potential
- Thoughts and experiences on getting surgery for injuries
- Breathing and Core Strength
- Moving More and Moving Better, how does this integrate into Max's daily routine?
- The relationship between health and pain
This was a GREAT conversation with Max and extremely inspiring.

Hi I really liked your talk / podcast.
It really seems that you longer you train the more philosophy plays a bigger role in training.
Most people are too goal orientated, so they have no time for the process required to make them strong, healthy and good moving.
I was that way too … until I wracked my shoulder and through my rehab with the Kettlebell I discovered that I had been training all the years, but that I have not actually been strong. 🙂
Oh I love the 5 Minutes Flows from Max, they are great and since they became part of my morning routine I feel so much better!
Again thank you both for making this podcast, I really enjoyed it.
Yours Frank
Frank, the more we learn the more we realize we have MORE to learn!
To be humble in the learning process is a much more enjoyable experience,
I am glad you enjoy the podcast!
Another great podcast, keep them coming! Your comment above is absolutely true, I’m finding that the more I learn, the more I don’t know and I’m just scratching the surface.
Gotta stay open minded to constantly evolve!
