The Man of Steel Workout
We all want to be a Man of Steel in our own right. We want to be at our apex physically, to have a body that is healthy and strong. One that is resistant, that doesn’t get sick. Every man wants a body that can save the damsel in distress, the child from a burning building, or pry a car door open to save a life. The only way to mold steel is to melt it with fire. The only way to build an iron body, is to put it through similar harsh conditions; to forge it in pain.
The Man of Steel workout isn’t for the feint of heart. It’s tough. It will be painful (in a good way). If you work hard, push for one more rep, suffer through the pain of one more unbearable set, you can build the body you’ve at least dreamt of once in your life. You can build a body befitting of the moniker, Man of Steel.
