A question was asked to me a while back and it's stuck in my head.
Are champions attracted to Hard Nock's Gym or does the gym create champions?
This question has stuck in my head for a while. Hard Nock's is a hole in the wall hard-core gym but it's pumped out numerous pro wrestlers, football players, baseball players, hockey players, powerlifters, bodybuilders and even some top level social media influencers.
No other gym in the area can say this. So is it the gym?
I can't completely say that it is. I think a lot of these kids when they walked in already have that determination to be something special in life.
I guess it's a combination of many things. The long history of being the most hard-core gym around. The comradery that forces people to be their best. The fact that we push the basic lifts. The older knowledgeable members passing on what they know to the younger generation. And most of all the energy that the gym brings.
This video is of the deadlift competition from the "Pull for your independence" that we did in July. I think it shows the energy and drive that these members have to push themselves beyond what they thought they could ever accomplish.
