BAD TO THE BONE: Mark Coleman is certifiably one of the toughest men currently walking the face of planet earth. Mark made his bones by winning the Ultimate Fighting Championship, the Super Bowl of Martial Arts, three consecutive times. Undefeated, he finally lost to Maurice Smith in a fourth UFC title defense that was hailed by experts as one of the greatest no-holds-barred battles ever seen. He injured himself shortly thereafter, blowing out an anterior cruciate knee ligament in a training session.

Parrillo Certified Personal Trainers are not all show and no go, to the contrary, PCPTs can not only talk the talk, they can walk the walk. Mr. Henry Loveless, owner and proprietor of Changes One, one of the premier personal training facilities in the St. Louis area, entered and won the M i s s o u r i S t a t e strongman competition this past September 16th. Henry s t a r t e d things out by winning the tire toss. He turned a 600- pound tire, end over end, for 80 feet. In the second event, comp e t i t o r s dragged a sled loaded with 250 pounds for two lengths (up and back) of a 40-foot course before having to go a final 40-foot length with 500 pounds in the sled! Henry took second and indicated that his lack of height (compared to the other competitors) hurt him in this event, “The taller guys could hold the sled at a higher angle as they dragged it and this lessened the friction.”
