Joe DeFranco's Industrial Strength Show

Joe kicks off this week's show with a few important announcements before getting into this week's main show topic. In honor of the 2025 CrossFit Games taking place this weekend, a listener asked Joe what his "CrossFit done right" would look like. More specifically, if Joe were asked to re-start CrossFit from scratch, what exercises would he include and why? This is a fun show that's sure to spark some interesting opinions and debate. Give it a listen and then let us know YOUR thoughts! *For a full list of Show Notes + Timestamps visit www.IndustrialStrengthShow.com [http://www.industrialstrengthshow.com/]. * IMPORTANT LINKS * DeFranco-brand supplements [https://shop.defrancostraining.com/collections/all?filter.v.price.gte=&filter.v.price.lte=&sort_by=best-selling] * @defrancosgym Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/defrancosgym/] * TACTICAL STRENGTH [New program!] [https://tacticalathleteworkout.com/]

Joe kicks off this week's show by sharing 3 exciting projects he's currently working on. He then reads a question from a personal trainer/gym owner who is working with a number of high achieving clients who "stress eat" at work. Joe spends the remainder of the show sharing his "Top 5 Strategies to Prevent Stress Eating at Work and/or Late at Night." This is a MUST-LISTEN for anyone who trains hard and does "everything else right", but they tend to "go off the rails" [nutrition-wise] once per day. *For a full list of Show Notes with Timestamps visit www.IndustrialStrengthShow.com [http://www.industrialstrengthshow.com/]. * IMPORTANT LINKS * Join Joe's email list [FREE Busy Bastard program & Early access to Tactical Strength] [https://www.defrancostraining.com/] * Team Forever Strong [FREE Trial] [https://marketplace.trainheroic.com/workout-plan/team/forever-strong2022-07-11%2019:57:23?attrib=559692-ig] * DeFranco's Chocolatey AF Clean Greens [https://shop.defrancostraining.com/products/defrancos-clean-greens-choclatey-af] * Buffin Muffins [https://myhummusfit.com/products/lianas-buffin-muffin?srsltid=AfmBOoqBh_ZyYQChRDY6iZZ23njQQz1QoSplFg-mY6SyuHlUCf1zlqzZ] * OIKOS Salted Caramel Protein Shake [https://www.amazon.com/Oikos-Protein-Chocolate-Drinks-Prebiotic/dp/B0F6F8TBR7/ref=asc_df_B0DY1ZS88N?mcid=15124d66368a30228cde680cb84435c3&hvocijid=14753606581345384917-B0DY1ZS88N-&hvexpln=73&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=721245378154&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=14753606581345384917&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9194689&hvtargid=pla-2281435177338&th=1]

This week Joe is joined by his Iron Business Blueprint partner Chris Tutela. The show starts off with some "Jersey talk" and banter (including Joe's current beef with ChatGPT Lol), then they start talkin' business! Together, Joe and Chris share their "Top 6 reasons most gyms fail within the first 1-3 years"... More specifically, 30% of gyms close within the first 12 months and by year 3, the failure rate climbs to between 50-70%! If you are a gym owner or an aspiring gym owner this is a MUST LISTEN! (That is, if you DON'T want to become another statistic!) And for those of you who don't own gyms - there are a ton of great business/life lessons, valuable information, and (of course) funny moments! Give it a listen... You won't be disappointed :) *For a full list of Show Notes w/ Timestamps visit www.IndustrialStrengthShow.com [http://www.industrialstrengthshow.com/]. * IMPORTANT LINKS | PEOPLE MENTIONED * Iron Business Blueprint [Book Your Free Strategy Call] [https://www.ironbusinessblueprint.com/] * Joe DeFranco (@defrancosgym [https://www.instagram.com/p/DL0DbHQMe1m/]) * Chris Tutela (@chris_tutela [https://www.instagram.com/chris_tutela/]) * Tim Riley (@timrileytraining [https://www.instagram.com/p/DLxXQxXsg_R/?img_index=1])

This week Ben Bruno makes his 5th appearance on the Industrial Strength Show and it just may be his best [most impactful] appearance yet! Ben has been "catchin' strays" from a handful of outspoken coaches online who [indirectly] blame him for an injury that occurred during the NBA Finals to one of his clients. Ben has NOT responded to the criticism online, but on today's show he speaks out on the topic of "Personal Trainers & Injury Prevention - Who's To Blame When An Athlete Gets Hurt?" Ben also explains the logistics of training pro athletes in the off-season [As you'll find out - the general public has NO IDEA what really goes on behind-the-scenes]. Furthermore, Ben candidly reveals his current frustration with social media, ie, the type of content that goes viral vs the type of content that "flops". Additionally, you'll hear Joe D's unsolicited advice to Joel Seedman and other coaches who claim to "have the answer" whenever an injury occurs to a famous athlete. *For a full list of Show Notes w/ Timestamps visit www.IndustrialStrengthShow.com [http://www.industrialstrengthshow.com/]. * IMPORTANT LINKS * Iron Business Blueprint [Book Your Free Strategy Call] [https://www.ironbusinessblueprint.com/] * DeFranco supplement sale  [https://shop.defrancostraining.com/collections/all?filter.v.price.gte=&filter.v.price.lte=&sort_by=best-selling][coupon: MuscleUpJuly] * Joe D's Instagram Rant [https://www.instagram.com/p/DLaR2Oostz4/] * Ben Bruno's Instagram (@benbrunotraining) [https://www.instagram.com/benbrunotraining/]
