#255: The “Meathead Millionaire”, Mark Bell: Either You’re In or You’re In The Way


Listen Later

Mark Bell is one of the most recognizable and successful men in the fitness industry.  

 

Known as the “meathead millionaire,” Mark has managed to parlay a successful powerlifting career into a multi-million dollar business empire.  

 

He is the creator and U.S. patent holder of one of the highest-selling fitness inventions in history, the Slingshot, and a subsequent line of fitness apparel.  

 

Mark is also the owner of “The Strongest Gym in the West,” Super Training Gym, a strength coach and fitness expert, host of the hit podcast “Mark Bell’s Power Cast,” and the owner of internationally distributed, Power Magazine.  

 

Perhaps what’s most impressive about Mark is his ability to constantly evolve, improve and overcome new challenges.  A former powerlifter and world record holder, Mark has now set his sights on dominating the bodybuilding stage the way he used to dominate the lifting platform.
