Summary

Reese Hoffa flew from Georgia to New Jersey (just for the DAY) to appear on this week's Industrial Strength Show! You won't find too many people with this level of commitment and dedication, but then again, Reese Hoffa isn't your "average" human being. He's a 3X Olympian (Shot Put), bronze medalist in the 2012 Olympics, 2X world champion, and ranked Top 3 in the world for 10 consecutive years! But, if you think Reese's physical strength and athletic accomplishments are the most impressive things about him, you're wrong! Reese has one of the most incredible 'life stories' you will ever hear. In fact, at one point in the podcast, Reese's story had Joe D. at a loss for words (and that never happens lol).

Besides hearing Reese's childhood story - other topics of discussion include: The exercises that Reese feels had the highest carryover to the Shot Put; Life after the Olympic games (Does anything compare?); The coping mechanisms Reese used to help him get through his toughest times; The "Forge" (body tempering tool) that Reese co-created...and Much MORE!

0:37.2	He's also won two world championships and actually what I think might be the most impressive accomplishment is the fact that he was ranked
0:50.9	top three in the world for 10 consecutive years.
0:56.1	And I don't know this for fact,
0:57.5	but I do not believe that there has ever
1:01.1	been another shot putter ranked in the top three for that long.
1:06.2	I'm again I don't know this for a fact I should have probably checked before I started
1:11.9	recording but there can't be too many Olympic
1:15.2	athletes in general, like in any sport that have been ranked in the top three for a decade or more.
1:23.9	That's just crazy.
1:26.2	So obviously, the dude's got an extremely impressive resume,

1:57.1	None of those things are what's most impressive about today's guest, Reese Hoffa.
