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!
