Cori Butler is a strongwoman competitor who is on the rise in the sport. She started truly turning heads when she broke the American clean and press record at 272 pounds this past year. Having only started competing in 2018, to be a record holder after four years  has been an unreal experience for Butler. But if it is up to her - this is only the start. She's now eying the Shaw Classic, a notably high profile and challenging event, as her next big competition and hopes to make a splash. In the latest episode of the Legends Of Iron podcast, Jon Anderson and Nick Best interview Cori Butler about her strongwoman origins, her 2022 training, and how she aims to be a role model promoting women being comfortable with strength and thickness.  Bodybuilding, fitness, weight training - all on the Generation Iron Fitness Network!  #CoriButler #legendsofiron #strongman   SHOP the GI Store here: https://shop.generationiron.com/ WATCH GI ORIGINAL FILMS: https://generationiron.com/category/w...

The brutes of Legends of Iron get a little giddy talking to Brazilian muscle goddess Alessandra Alves De Lima and her great friend and translator Aretha Luz, a stunning social media fitness personality in her own right.

If you haven't seen Alessandra, known on Instagram for her well developed physique and massive legs, definitely look her up. Both Alessandra and Aretha embody the best of unapologetic feminine muscle.

After the boys calm down a bit, Jon Andersen leads the conversation into some serious territory, talking about the origins of Alessandra's love for heavy duty training, the difficulties of being a muscular woman in today's social media dominated world, navigating relationships, her bodybuilding diet and why she hasn't yet competed.

This episode of Legends of Iron is both a feast for the eyes as well as the mind.

Bobby “The American Nightmare” Thompson joins us for this episode of Legends of Iron.

We ask Bobby about some of his worst and best memories in the strength game, including a keg toss that went wrong and a camera guy who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. We talk about his big moment of shouldering that stone at the Arnold and what really happened.

We then ask for Thompson’s picks for the top eight at World’s Strongest Man and his opinions of the top five strongmen in the world. His answers may surprise you, as will his desire for a certain kind of legacy that you will need to hear to fully understand.

Maxime Boudreault has competed in the World’s Strongest Man and Shaw Classic. Samantha Belliveau has competed in Canada Strongwoman, Arnold Amateur Strongwoman Championship and Clash Strongman.

Together, Max and Sam are probably the strongest couple in the world and they talk with the LOI crew about the ups and downs of training for strongman as a couple.

Max talks about his journey to taking 3rd place in 2021 Worlds Strongest Man. He gives us some insight into what was going on in his head and really breaks it down. Looking forward to the 2022 World’s Strongest Man, we talk about how he is training and prepping for it.

Sam is known for breaking the women’s world record with 183.4lbs/83.1kg Dumbbell Overhead Press. She crushed it at the 2022 Clash on the Coast, which our own Nick Best witnessed as a judge. 

Max and Sam talk advice for young lifters, how to balance training with life, the private gym they own and operate, what it’s like being a trainer, how they support each other in and out of the gym, and so much more.  

There is so much to cover, from the crazy way Sam and Max met, to how they are taking over the world’s strongman crop in Canada. 

In this episode of Legends of Iron, we learn what it means to be a true power couple!

Mitchell Hooper may surprise you.

Not only did he recently compete at the World’s Strongest Man competition after participating in only four previous competitions, but he could have chosen to be a pro football player or a professional golfer. He has been a marathon runner, assisted in yacht racing and is the owner of his own exercise and health enrichment center.

In addition to all that, he is extremely intellectual and philosophical about strength sports, his place in the world and the legacy he wants to leave behind.

And he’s only 26 years old.

Hooper talks about life changing moments, the mental health benefits of exercise, the health crisis in America and Canada, the importance of good character, and his “say yes” philosophy of life.

Join the Legends of Iron crew for a very thoughtful and mind-bending episode, including Mitchell’s startling predictions for the upcoming Giants Live Deadlift Championship 2022 in Cardiff.
