Pat Wilson: Strength Camp Sponsored Strongman
When I opened Strength Camp, my warehouse gym in Florida, little did I realize that besides being a place for me to train and to train athletes that it would become a — “Man Cave” of sorts.
Now, I really do hate this term… “Man Cave”, because it assumes that men are nothing more than post modern neanderthals in need of a place to hide from doting women and an oppressive society. I use the term only because of its recent popularity (along with the televisons portrayal of men as either lazy, dumb-asses like Homer Simpson or as aggressive, testosterone driven competitors who cheat on their wives like Tiger Woods).
Where is popular cultures example of the courageous and responsible man who lives an upright and integrous life?
Anyway, today’s post was not meant for one of my manic rants.
Today I would like to introduce you to one of the neanderthals that train with me in my Man-Cave gym… a place where men can lift heavy things, spit, cuss and have pissing contests without the distractions of “skinny jeans” or Ellen Degeneres”.
Meet Strength Camp’s newest sponsor:
Pat “Young Beast” Wilson
LW Strongman Competitor
Age 19 yrs. old (no shit!)
Ht – 5′11
Wt. 243
Pat just wooped ass in The SW Florida Strongman Event and has been training at Strength Camp with me and a few other strong boys looking to snatch up some trophies, pro cards and world records next month at The Strongman Show Of Champions in Orlando FL (4/16 – 4/17)
Check out some of Pat’s prowess as he moves heavier things, faster and farther than his competitors. Strongman — What a great sport!?!?!
Hey! — If you have any awesome (and I mean AWESOME) videos of you or someone you know training like a maniac with Strongman implements send them to me at strengthcamp@gmail.com and I may post them here on the blog.
Also, if you are a strongman beast (and I mean a BEAST)… let me know about your upcoming competition and I’ll send you some Strength Camp t-shirts to rock. All I ask is that you send me some pictures and videos of you kicking butt with while wearing our shirt.
Have a great weekend!

YO E!! That is some real hardcore strength training going on. I live in NYC and out here we use Scaffolding, bus stops, playgrounds with the bars, Car bumpers, and Stairs! I love your creativity… I believe it is the greatest motivator- keeping it fresh, and different.
Your style has motivated me to push myself even more. It gets cold up here but that hasn’t stopped me.
Thanx E!!

Hey Elliot,
This guy is amazing, what kinda water is he drinking? I want some. Anyway, I have a powerlifting meet coming up April 24 and has hoping to take first in the deadlift. I was thinking maybe a strength camp T would add 10 or 15 lbs to my max and help me win. Thanks for all the great info you give out.
Life is to short to be weak,
