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.

that's why his videos having very less viewership.i agree his exercises are good and effective but his rants totally off the mark...he don't care if anyone lives or dies...and i don't care if he lives or dies.BEN you are right
For me, watching his rants are like a car wreck, you know it's wrong to look but you can't help it. He doesn't seem to have people to talk to and he needs to get shit off his chest. Not saying everything he says his wrong, just not the way to go about it. He's a hell of an athlete and at his age it's admirable. He grew up different than most today and he just doesn't seem all that happy. The sad thing is, his rants have really nothing to do with him and he keeps trying to prove himself a man which he's done more than enough of and is trying to compensate for something. On a personal level, I don't like him very much and personality wise, I'm practically the opposite of him. I try to see the good side of things and this world is shitty at the moment especially in this country, he's not wrong about that but there are beautiful things to find if you look hard enough. His rants also come off from places that are no where near him and don't have anything to do with where he lives. I called him out a couple times and all I got was a cop out response. I would love to see him smile for once and talk about something positive not always a "hardcore" truth.
he called south asians dotheads...that's why to hell with his videos ...ben however he might be able to do exercises or carry weights...but if he is dick like this then nobody cares.i watch your videos,primal punch,and other good peoples videos....manhood doesen't need to be racist all the time or calling out other second or third world countries...yes i do constant tension push ups from his videos...the truth is there are lot of good men out there to learn from than from this shit guy..
