Iron Radio Co-host Biographical Sketches

 (Photo & Video Gallery HERE)

Dr. Lowery is an Exercise Physiologist (Ph.D.) and Nutrition professor of eight years. He's also a former competitive bodybuilder (light-heavyweight), been a freelance writer for most top bodybuilding / fitness mags, a (real) researcher and lecturer. In bodybuilding, he has snagged runner-up placing at the Mountaineer Cup (a Midwest event) and was a finalist in the NPC Mr. Midwest USA. Dr. L is sort of an "anti-guru" and consumer advocate and has written much for T-Muscle.com. That's him on the left in "warrior nerd" mode with long time friend, Fortress, competing in 2003, and lecturing at a hospital in 2009.

Fortress is a former competitive bodybuilder AND powerlifter (still competing), as well as a journalist and former editor at some of the most influential publications in the business. His credits include editorial roles at mags like Muscle Mag International, Peak Training Journal, and editorial or writer roles a number of Internet publications from Virtual Muscle to T-Muscle.com. You've probably read his stuff, whether he was a credited author or ghost writer. Rob has been co-hosting Experiments vs. Experience, underwritten by various web sites, with Lonnie, since pre-podcasting days. Rob is dangerously close to a 700 lb. natural squat (success at 665 in second photo below).

Jon Mike

Jonathan Mike is a frequent contributor, doctoral student at the University of New Mexico and competitor in both strongman events and powerlifting. Soon-to-be Dr. Mike pulls a 600+ lb. deadlift and is basically just one big dude. Although younger than the other guys on the show, Jon already plays a quasi-professional role on the NSCA forums. 

Danny John

Dan John is a world class throwing and strength coach of many years and frankly, the kind of man we'd be proud to expose our own sons to. How could we not ask this prolific author and speaker with a similar interest in the web not to join Iron Radio?! Check out his site at http://danjohn.net/   

Phil Stevens

Phil Stevens is a successful competitive powerlifter and strongman. He holds national powerlifting titles and created of Lift4Hope.org. Phil can bounce back from injuries with healing powers like the comic book hero, Wolverine and has an iron will befitting a war-scarred veteran of the strength game.
