About

Johnny Grube

Hello my name is Johnny Grube, I’m not a world champion, a national champion, I wasn’t even a high school champion, however,I do hold 4 fitness world records I was an athlete almost my whole life I was involved in baseball, football, track and field, martial arts, power lifting a bouncer and for 10 years on and off a professional wrestler.

For the past 25 +years I was a dock laborer for a trucking company and I have lifted more weight in those 20+ years then the most seasoned powerlifter weightlifter and bodybuilder combined together. I lifted weights, I’ve done bodyweight calisthenics, I’ve ran miles on end, I’ve sprinted, I’ve played sports, I’ve used supplements… weight gain you name it, I’ve probably done it – three times.

I was a Hardcore trainer- never missed a workout, I was very strong, but I wasn’t in athletic shape. I was in pathetic shape.

Then I discovered what the fittest men of all time knew. And since then have changed my whole outlook on working out and have become one of the fittest men around. In very little time.

“But why should I listen to you?”

As a result of all my years of training and experience and research – I know what works.
