Description
Mike Westerling didn’t learn how to coach from theory or trends. He learned by coaching real bodies, real schedules, real injuries, and real limitations. Over decades in commercial gyms, hardcore weight rooms, and competitive strongman environments, he learned what actually works when the goal is to build strength, stay healthy, and keep progressing year after year.
Strongman training makes weaknesses impossible to hide. Stones, yokes, carries, and presses quickly expose poor programming, bad recovery, and unrealistic expectations. This book explains how to manage volume, frequency, fatigue, and exercise selection so athletes can train hard without breaking down.
This is not a collection of random workouts.
It’s not about being “hardcore” for its own sake.
And it’s not written only for elite competitors.
BUILT BY MIKE 2.0 teaches principles that scale—whether you’re a first-time lifter, a recreational athlete, a competitive strongman, or a strength coach working with a wide range of clients.
Inside, you’ll learn:
- How to program strength training for different bodies and experience levels
- Why compromises in training are unavoidable—and how to choose the right ones
- How to balance intensity, volume, and recovery over long timelines
- What decades of coaching thousands of people reveal that theory never will
If you want strength that lasts—not just a short peak—this book shows how it’s built in the real world.
No hype.
No gimmicks.
Just principles proven across thousands of lifters and four decades under the bar.
