Episode 171 - Stronger at Any Age: How One Fitness Inventor Revolutionized Home Workouts with Marc Lebert

One piece of equipment. Hundreds of exercises. A total game
changer for strength after 40.


If you’ve ever struggled with dips, pull-ups, or finding a real
way to build upper body strength without hitting the gym every
day, this episode is for you.


Today, I’m joined by one of my favorite people in the fitness
industry, Marc Lebert. A true innovator who created the legendary
Lebert Equalizer Bars.


I’ve been using these things for over 15 years. In bootcamps.
With fighters. In my own home workouts. And the truth is, every
man over 40, 50, 60 should have a pair. They're compact,
portable, and brutally effective.


Marc didn’t just invent a tool. He literally revolutionized how
we train at home. We get into his wild story of how he once
worked security and vacuumed gym floors for $8/hour and then went
on to build a global fitness product used by everyone from MMA
coaches to calisthenics legends like Frank Medrano.





We also break down the most humbling exercises you can do on the
Equalizers (rows, dips, and leg raises will wake up muscles you
forgot existed), how to use them for metabolic training, and why
building your own home gym isn’t optional anymore—it’s essential.





This one’s packed with real talk, laughs, and pure training gold.
And by the end, you’ll know exactly why these yellow bars belong
in your setup.





Let’s go!
