Natural Strength Night is an informative, humorous, sometimes a little raucous, good-time of myth busting and honest training information from the trenches. We strive to help everyone involved with old school strength training (without steroids) to not make some common training mistakes. Along with great information, you'll hear a fair share of steroid bashing, flamingo sightings, breaking goons, iron game history, and honest drug-free training information from various leaders and strength coaches in the field to help you get real results! If your primary training information comes from reading "Muscle & Fiction" magazine we'll help get you straightened out. If you love high-intensity strength training, dinosaur style training and just like lifting heavy weights ... or loved Jack Lalanne, Sandow, Grimek, Peary Rader's Iron Man magazine, Brad Steiner's articles, Stuart McRobert's Hardgainer, Iron Nation, Osmo Kiiha's The Iron Master, you will love the show. On The Rugged Individual, we talk about obscene subjects like: success, motivation, liberty, Americana, capitalism, Jesus, self defense, guns, sports, eating meat, testicular fortitude and whatever the host wants. Relax. Here we are still a free country. The Rugged Individual... where good people roam.

LISTEN ON SOUND CLOUD

Tonight we welcome back my good friend Dick Conner. Dick has been a regular on the show and was on the very first episode of Natural Strength Night, as well as episodes 2, 4, 6, 17 and 25.

I've known Dick for over 20 years. I love the guy. We talk frequently and rarely have a conversation that is less then an hour long.

Dick made the long drive from Indiana to Washington, DC to be a speaker at several of my Capital City Strength Clinics.

Dick one of the most honest, nicest, and funniest guys in the field. He’s been involved in strength training for over 60 years and he has a treasure trove of knowledge. We are going to be picking his brain tonight about some of the many places and colorful iron game individuals he has met over the years.

Dick is the FOUNDER of the Famous Pit Gym in Indiana and is one of the greatest powerlifting coaches of all-time.

Dick’s PIT GYM powerlifting Team won 19 state championships and 9 national championships. The team traveled all over the country to meet any challenger.

He has written many articles for Hardgainer Magazine and NaturalStrength.com. Dick also wrote a great chapter for IRON NATION.

Dick is still at THE PIT a few days per week. If you are going to be anywhere near Evansville, Indiana, you need to get a workout with Dick.
