What happens when a high-school kid from a rough ( New Halen ) Connecticut neighbourhood swaps sucker-punches for squats? He becomes an icon on one of rock’ and roll's most legendary album covers!
In this high-reps episode, The Bo-Hosts are joined by fitness professional and author Rick Valente—the man literally carrying the weight of the world on Van Halen’s 5150 album cover. Celebrating the 40th anniversary of this landmark album, Rick reminisces on the 1986 casting call at Gold’s Gym and the 2-day photoshoot with Eddie and Alex!
Rick also discusses his new book, My Life’s Ride, how bodybuilding saved him from a path of drugs & violence, his epic 10-year run on ESPN's BodyShaping helping people find their own path to health, and why he believes training your mind is just as important as training your body.
All that, plus, as the Bo-Hosts dive into Rick’s star-studded life they somehow manage to bond over the late, great Gregory Hines—because nothing says "Sammy Hagar Podcast" like an unexpected detour into the world of legendary tap dancers!
