My Thoughts On Johnny Grube And The Wildman Training Philosophy (Uncensored)

From time to time, I dabble in promoting various products and reviewing books and courses. So today I'm going to talk about a style of training that has good points and bad points plus a little on the author of this philosophy. First off, I just want to say what I'm going to go into will be something many may hate on and I will hear about it sooner or later, good or bad but I feel the need to let people know on this.

Johnny Grube.....A blue collar, no nonsense and no bullshit type of roughneck that has a lot to talk about on fitness but promoting mainly himself and ranting about the world we live in today. A manual laborer and former pro wrestler (indies basically) who just seems to not talk about almost anything positive in his posts. He is a poster child for bodyweight training and the ideals behind it using basic movements, isometrics and semi-creative workouts that work within a degree.

The Wildman Training philosophy isn't catered to a general audience and doesn't seem to put in a positive image even to an audience he is catered to...Himself and rough-housed blue collar men. I do like the idea of how to use bodyweight training along with the minimal to no equipment needed to get in awesome shape, but that's the extent of my faith in this guy.

I have two of his books, the Wildman Training Program and his Playground Training Manual. They're both fantastic books in the sense where it teaches the bare basic principles of bodyweight fitness and using what's available. Beyond that is more than worth reading. As far as fitness goes, he's got some great points but personality wise, I find him to be a major asshole and one hardcore fucked up individual.

This style brings valuable info on why manual labor is a hard and brutal form of training even by the standards of a job. I've done my share of manual labor and yeah it is tough and it's not meant for individuals who aren't willing to put in the work. His rants however are not only off the wall but come off as negative, stressful and full of bullshit that destroys the image of today. There are very few things I agree with but wouldn't put it anywhere near the context he throws it in. He sees the men of today (from a general sense) as weak and full of vanity. Now don't get me wrong, there a lot of guys out there even in my generation that could catch up on a few things but to break them down and destroy any form of humanity, that's messed up and need some serious therapy.

I don't know what kind of life he was brought up on, how he treats his wife or his kids but what you will read about in his posts tend to come up Homophobic,  Racist, brutality towards kids and just flats out manhandles the fitness industry as if its some demonic form of evil. I was friends with him once on social media and at one time was able to handle his little tantrums and comments towards certain people but I put out a post one day about a story of a grandfather who accepted his grandson for being gay (before and after this boy's mother completely cut him out of her life because of her beliefs) and Johnny just proceeds to tarnish, belittle and ridicule this story. On top of that, one of my family members stepped up and put his two cents in and John just attacked him and acted like a fucking 5 year old and just goes off on who is my uncle. This opened my eyes to what kind of person he was and continues to act like.

As far as i'm concerned, fitness wise, he has done a lot and can make a solid case as to how it works and what exercises can be used in a quick fashion along with awesome levels of conditioning and stamina but after that, he's nothing more than a self-centered, conniving, redneck and sincere form of asshole that I ever heard of. Unlike him, I care about my fellow human being and anyone who attacks others without knowing the full story is one fucked up dickhead who probably hasn't been laid since his last kid was born. As a person, he's a negative piece of shit that needs to grow the fuck up and have a little more compassion in his life. I don't normally put that out there about people but when you have seen so much hatred in a person's words, it makes you wonder how the fuck can anyone want to be around that even by 10 damn feet. 

I do care about where the fitness industry has gone and some of it I don't like but that's not for me to judge or destroy a person's way of doing things. I say what I feel but at the same time, nobody should have to live with that kind of negativity. Maybe he's the loki of the fitness world, a person of mischief and cause of chaos and despair that lives vicariously out of hurting others and is full of himself. 

The only thing I have in common with this Stick-Up-His-Ass, unworldly person that calls himself a human being is passion for fitness. Yes, his style is off the wall and has some value as to what being in shape can really do but on the other side of the coin, he needs to grow a heart and let go of the bullshit the world is in and look for what is awesome, breathtaking and full of hope, love and wonders that make us great people in a lot of ways. I don't even think the guy bleeds red, probably more like a dark and very brown color that needs to be checked by a doctor. 

Carlos DIGS Black Maca! | You’ll DIG This SALE!

I LOVE hearing great success stories from Lost Empire Herbs' customers…

Here’s a review that came in from Carlos:

“Love it. Already finished my first bag. Not quite sure to attribute it to the maca, but I have noticed more muscle definition with no change in my day to day routine. Definitely more energy and it does help to recover faster (I can personally feel it after I eat it. Tingly sensation in the muscles).

One thing for sure is it is definitely a sexual stimulant. Ever since I started taking it my sensitivity, and blood flow down there have increased a lot! I would consider myself a very calm person when it comes to sexual responses, yet this thing was like it hit an ON switch down there! Not taking it for that, rather for nutrition, but it definitely works!

One spoon in my morning oatmeal and I’m good to go! Love the product. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a bit more nutrition in their diet. Everything else is a major plus! Thank you for carrying it.”

There you have it.

Explosive Conditioning: Star Wars Style

It is always fun to use a theme to amp up workouts. It gives that extra motivation and another idea to get more in tuned with training. Some themes are a little off the wall than others and some workouts are flat out nuts but if you took the simple exercises and molded them into a workout using a theme and little to no equipment, you can make it fun and challenging plus coming back for more.

This past week I got the Death Star Slam Ball from Onnit. On that site they have a lot of cool stuff to use for training from bad ass looking kettlebells, colored Battling Ropes and even barbell plates based on the Superhero Captain America. Their Kettlebell line has made another set of best sellers in the form of Star Wars. As you may have noticed in some of my posts and on social media that i'm a geek for Star Wars; not to the degree of battling over which Franchise is better Star Wars or Star Trek but a geek to where I have collected all the films, many books, a shrine in the living room mainly of Yoda and posters. I told myself, one day I will get a product from the Star Wars line and I made it happen.

I have used slam balls and medicine balls in the past which are very effective and can give you a hell of a workout. The Death Star Slam Ball is very unique in the sense tat it isn't the typical ball you would see in the gym; this bad ass motha doesn't just have a cool shape but can take a beating and last longer than the average ball. Weighing 20 pounds, it may not seem like much but once you get your hands on it and start training, a whole new world opens up. To me this is a great way to not only geek out but get in some awesome training as well. Slam Ball training has been around a while now and due to the popularity of Crossfit, it's become a staple in many athletes' arsenal. There are many exercises you can do with this thing and will get your body going one way or another.

The first few workouts with it I keep it simple and only go as far as I need to and not force anything. It's great for a full workout, a warm up or a finisher and you will have your lungs firing, your legs quivering and your core will get pummeled (in a good way). Just the typical pickup and slamming it down hard alone will get you cooked in no time. Most workouts don't last more than 20 minutes and depending on your fitness level, you can make the workout easy or as hard as you want.

One of the things I really like is that if I have excess energy or need to get some frustration out (not all of us live like a happy go lucky harry), I'll just take that sucker and thrust it down as many times as possible until i'm just completely done and calmed down. Now I'm not saying you should ever train angry or ready to go on a murdering spree but it is an alternative to have a more positive outlook to channel aggression. It is very effective and it can keep you in line. We all have those days where you just need to take out some aggression and use a way to calm down so why not get in shape to channel that.

Although not every Star Wars fan works out, it can be encouraging to get fit and get more out of life than just being a fan. Don't get me wrong, I'm a nerd at heart and I go to conventions, buy comics, pay to get a picture taken with a celeb or cosplayer, be trivial around people and have fun debates with people from time to time but I also love to be strong, conditioned and full of energy and vigor. It has become an epidemic that fitness isn't a part of many people's lives and more and more we as a society tend to let ourselves go. What would it feel like to you to not only geek out and have fun but have great physical strength, stamina and agility at the same time? Can you imagine feeling like you had the strength of vader, the stamina of Darth Maul, the speed of a jedi? I would put up a lot to have that kind of power, to never tire and move with great agility but power behind it too.

The Death Star Slam ball may not destroy planets, but it can destroy unwanted fat and put on great muscle and definition while giving you the ability to tear into athletic endeavors like a boss. Think about it for a moment; having physical attributes that will make people be in awe of, a competitor fear you because you can last far longer than expected, the ability to tap into your strength reserves in ways that many wouldn't know how to react to and think what it would be like to have hormones that would make a teenager look weak and burn fat during and after a workout. The amount of fat you can lose, the weight just flying off and having muscle that not only looks awesome but has show to go with it too.

Get it today....May The Force Be With You.
