Darren Mehling has lived at the extremes of human performance. As a strongman, he pulled 50,000-lb trucks and deadlifted 805 lbs. As a bodybuilder, he captured Provincial Super-Heavyweight and Overall titles. Today, as President & CEO of FREAK Fitness, he has guided athletes to hundreds of Novice, Provincial/State, National, and IFBB Pro titles.

Through his new column, Freak For Life, Darren will help former competitors break free from the “all-or-nothing” trap, rebuild their power beyond the stage, and win the season they’re in—both inside and outside the gym.
