Episode 5 - Why I Love Bulgarian Bags and Battle Ropes (And Why You Might Too)

In this episode, I open up about two of the most dynamic tools in my training arsenal: the Bulgarian Bag and Battle Ropes. These aren't just fitness accessories—they've become essential to my transformation and ongoing journey toward strength, resilience, and better aging.

I share how I stumbled upon them, why they stood out from more traditional equipment, and how they’ve shaped not only my body but also my mindset. From grip strength and cardio conditioning to functional movement and mental endurance—these tools offer much more than meets the eye.

This conversation builds on insights from my book, "50 & Beyond: Transforming Through Functional Training as a Single Father", where I dive deeper into how these unconventional tools played a key role in my comeback story. If you're curious about functional training, aging well, or just want to shake up your workouts—this one’s for you.
