Ben Alderman on CrossFit, Jiu-Jitsu, Fatherhood & Faith

Ben Alderman, owner of CrossFit Iron Mile and pastor at Restlife Church, joins Mark Bell for a wide-ranging conversation on training, jiu-jitsu, leadership, family, and faith.Ben breaks down why being strong in the gym doesn’t automatically translate to fighting or grappling, what jiu-jitsu taught him about efficiency, leverage, and humility, and why CrossFit is still one of the best ways to build broad, real-world fitness. They also talk about movement variability, conditioning, striking, adapting as you age, and why “leaders are learners.”The conversation also goes deeper into fatherhood, raising kids around fitness, letting your children pursue their own calling, and Ben’s personal story of faith, repentance, and wanting to be a better husband, father, and man of God.Special perks for our listeners below!🥩 HIGH QUALITY PROTEIN! 🍖 ➢ Code POWER to save 20% off site wide, or code POWERPROJECT to save an additional 5% off your Build a Box Subscription!🩸 Get your BLOODWORK/TRT/PEPTIDES! 🩸 ➢ and use code "POWERPROJECT" for 10% off Self-Service Labs and Guided Optimization®.🧠 Methylene Blue: Better Focus, Sleep and Mood 🧠 Use Code POWER10 for 10% off!➢ 5 Finger Barefoot Shoes! 👟 ➢ Code POWERPROJECT15 to save 15% off Peluva Shoes!Self Explanatory 🍆 ➢ Enlarging Pumps (This really works): explained: The Best Red Light Therapy Devices and Blue Blocking Glasses On The Market! 😎➢ code: POWERPROJECT to save 20% off your order!👟 BEST LOOKING AND FUNCTIONING BAREFOOT SHOES 🦶➢ The Best Cold Plunge Money Can Buy 🥶 ➢ Code POWERPROJECT to save $150!!
