Training Is for

Everybody

The World’s Strongest Man, Martins Licis,
can lift, throw, and pull serious weight.

(And airplanes and 250-pound beer kegs, too!)
Now regular guys are learning muscle-building
lessons from Licis and other strongmen.

YOU’VE SEEN squats before. But never like this.
Martins Licis—the 2019 World’s Strongest
Man, in case you couldn’t tell from his enormous
shoulders and 30-plus-inch thighs—is standing
in the center of his tiny gym, the Training Hall,
in Thousand Oaks, California, a barbell loaded
with 605 pounds on his oak-tree back.
