Mark aka "Smelly" aka "The People's Coach" aka "Meathead Millionaire" is a world-record holding powerlifter with some outrageous lifts like a 1,086lb squat, 854lb bench, and 766lb deadlift. He credits much of his lifting success to his two older brothers, Louis Simmons from the one and only Westside Barbell, and other legends in the strength world like Ed Coan and Mike O'Hearn. Mark opened his own gym called Super Training Gym after moving his young family to northern California, where he has trained ever since. Mark leveraged his success in the powerlifting world to launch The Sling Shot, which is now an absolute powerhouse in the strength world, producing products that serve powerlifters. Aside from running Super Training Gym and Sling Shot, he hosts Mark Bell's Power Project Podcast, which is a Top 50 health and fitness podcast, and now sells his own supplement line which can be found on his website. Mark is a guy who loves to help other people, and if you follow his content on social media, you'll quickly see how true that statement is and how good he is at doing it. He's a one of a kind, down to earth, hard working dude. But above it all he's an incredible man, husband, and father, and I am truly honored to have had the opportunity to host this conversation with a guy that I am such a big fan of.Discussion PointsWhy Mark is hellbent on serving peopleAnxiety and depression - why does everyone feel this way?The toxicity of social mediaOnly boring people can be bored"If you feel lonely when you're by yourself, then maybe you're not in good company... you have to work on yourself."Controlling what you can controlDoing what is reasonable10 minute walksDelayed gratification for exponential dopamineAny real progress takes a long timeGiving yourself credit for the little thingsThe parallel of dedication in life vs fitnessHow you feel along the wayHow Mark started SlingShotDon't be so hard headedBest piece of marriage adviceWhy communication is so important in marriageDon't try to fix your spouseThe values Mark focuses on teaching his kidsChasing success and losing sight of prioritiesWhat Mark wants his legacy to be with his kidsLinkswww.markbellslingshot.com@marksmellybell - IG, TikTok, Twitter
