Every one of us intuitively knows that getting stronger is the right thing to do. It quite literally improves every facet of our lives from the influence we can develop with others, to the energy needed to build a business, and the stamina and mental fortitude needed to raise and lead a family. Why, then, do so many men slack in this department?
My guest, Sal Di Stefano, and I talk about that today. He is an expert in strength training and the author of The Resistance Training Revolution. We discuss the chronic health issues of today’s modern man, cardio vs. strength training, developing testosterone naturally, the traits of admirable men, and how to burn fat and get stronger.

My guest today is Sal Di Stefano. He is a good friend (and, an early supporter of Order of Man) and the co-founder and co-host of MindPump Media, a top rated podcast year over year.
Sal is also the author of The Resistance Training Revolution: The No-Cardio Way to Burn Fat, and Age-Proof Your Body in only 60 Minutes per Week.
In addition to that, he is a strength and conditioning coach and an extremely deep-thinker when it comes to the trails and struggles that modern culture and society have presented us.
Gents, I think you’re going to enjoy this one as much as I did and walk away with a new perspective on getting strong and fit.

Mental Conditioning
Speaking of getting strong, when is the last time you spent any amount of time building and developing your mind? We all know to get our bodies in shape but how do you get your mind in shape?
