Bodybuilding.com | Becoming a Professional Strongman & Drilling Discipline | Ep. 22 | Craig Bongelli | Bodybuilding.com @bodybuildingcom | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
In this episode, we step into the mind of former professional strongman Craig Bongelli who's journey in the world of strength and conditioning is as intense as it is inspiring.
From his early days in boxing to becoming a professional strongman under the mentorship of legends like Louie Simmons and Bill Kazmaier, Craig's path has been anything but ordinary. After a dramatic strongman career, marked by a viral accident and remarkable recoveries, Craig shifted his focus to coaching, where he guided world champions and everyday heroes alike.
Today, he’s authored three books centered around body transformation and recomposition. Most recently, he returned from a stint at Westside Barbell, diving into their latest training methodologies, which will be featured in an upcoming series here at Bodybuilding.com.
Join us as we talk through his insights and stories from a lifetime of pushing physical and mental boundaries.
