Summary

Anders Varner is the host of Barbell Shrugged and co-creator of The Low Back Fix, The Knee Fix, and The Shoulder Fix. Anders found the weight room at age 13 and decided he would call it home for the rest of his life.

A four-time CrossFit regional competitor and member of John Cena’s “One Ton Club”, Anders has trained with and coached high level athletes from the worlds of the NFL, WWE, and CrossFit.

A true believer in self-discovery, Anders finds his true passion in helping the everyday person live a pain free, empowered life through mindful movement. Anders Varner’s approach has helped transform the lives of stroke victims, pre and postpartum moms, extreme weight loss clientele, and individuals recovering from drug and alcohol addiction.

In this episode, we dive into the skill of performing in a group and making each person feel special, coaching people to inspire others to do more than they thought possible, becoming the character that people want to be around, characteristics of your personality and using it as a tool to make others better, what does your hustle look like, hiring friends and how that doesn’t always work out, and more.

Enjoy!

- Mike

Shrugged Collective is a network of fitness, health and performance shows that help people achieve their physical and mental health goals. Usually in the gym, but outside as well. In 2012 they posted their first Barbell Shrugged podcast and have been putting out weekly free videos and podcasts ever since.

Along the way we've created successful online coaching programs including The Shrugged Strength Challenge, The Muscle Gain Challenge, FLIGHT, Barbell Shredded, and Barbell Bikini.

We're also dedicated to helping affiliate gym owners grow their businesses and better serve their members by providing owners tools and resources like the Barbell Business Podcast.
