Physical Culture & Better Health with Max Shank

by Zach Even - Esh 4 Comments

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.

Playing with some #ultimateathleticism movements in the wind/rain. There are two things I love about this: 1) Being outside in in the elements 2) Strength flows. Start with your most challenging movements and finish out with easy ones. Fun! #bettereveryday #simpleshouldersolution #makeitlookeasy #fitness #ambitionfamily

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!)

FREESTYLE Strength does not need to always follow sets and reps. Just like #5minuteflow utilizes many different movements, you can approach strength the same way. This sequence hit the upper pulling muscles in a variety of ways.

- 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.
