Now, on to our guest… Steve Maxwell

You asked for him as a guest, so here he is, Maniacs! We had a blast, and I learned a TON.

Steve has created 10 bestselling DVDs, including Steve Maxwell: The Road Warrior. Steve is an American fitness coach, physical educator, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor. Maxwell was named one of the top 100 trainers in the USA by Men's Journal.

Besides all of that, he’s built some highly clever and super-functional training methods and is an all-around hilarious guy.  Steve is one of Joe Rogan’s "go to" trainers and his thinking can be applied in nearly all aspects of training, fitness, and lifestyle.

In this episode, we discuss life, maximizing your body and spirit (and common mistakes), and generally answer these questions:

• How did he become a powerhouse in the fitness community? How does he consistently create amazing movements and concepts?
• How he overcame the toughest movements, blocks and other pitfalls in his life
• What are Steve’s thought on Joe Rogan?
• How did Steve become a master trainer, and how can you?
• What are some of Steve's evaluation processes?
• Visualization, Meditation, and who inspirers Steve Maxwell
• Sex, Drugs, Gum, Supplements, Crunches, Shoes... 
• Why Crossfit isn't the best, or even a good method of training
• Some important lessons Steve's learned during his life
