On March 20 and 21, at the Battling Ropes certification in Sarasotta Florida I had the honor an privilage of meeting 2 of the world's strongest men. My good friend and Christian brother Frank Dimeo owner of CrossFit Gulf Coast sponsored the Battling Ropes certification. The creator of Battling Ropes John Brookfield is a Christian minister and strongman. While at the certification Christian strongman and power lifting champion Bud Jeffries who is a friend of Frank came by. What a blessing to meet and fellowship with 3 powerful Christians John, Bud and Frank.
John Brookfield at 50 years old is considered one of the strongest men in the world. John is a muliple world record holder. He an another peson pulled a 31,000 Semi Truck 1 mile in record time. He is known as Mr. Hands for having the strongest grip in the world. John is a Master of Old Time Strongman feats. He has been featured in Ripley's Beleive it or Not and the Guinness Book of World Records. Check out his web site Battlingropes.com.
Bud Jeffries is a drug free World Power Lifting Champion with over 30 regional, state, national and world records. He is a Strongman and martial artist. He has squated 1000 pounds drug free and 1800 pounds in the quarter squat. On Saturday, March 21, Bud brought his son Noah. Noah is a super polite, mature and humble 12 year Christian boy and the strongest 12 year old I've ever seen. Bud blessed me with copies of his training DVD's. I highly recommend his DVD's. Before I meet him I had purchased his DVD on Indian club training. I highly recommend his DVD's you can order them or see them at Strongerman.com.
