STEEL Performance Training (SPT)
ATTITUDE ● FUEL ● VISION ● STRENGTH ● RESTORE
Pure Steel is a training methodology developed by Wes Wright using various forms of lifting techniques he learned over his 40 plus years of strongman training. Wes was a powerful both body and soul. He told it like it was and often used the saying “Lets do something hard today” to create a mindset for those he trained to do amazing things. Will Shields had the opportunity to train under Wes and has brought this mindset and training technique to 68’s in Pure Steel training. The training we provide changes and saves lives through techniques that will make you stronger physically and mentally. Wes believed that everybody should be strong because, the human animal is built for strength. Pure steel builds physical and mental champions.

SPT Training Program Pillars
ATTITUDE
It’s a mindset. Attitude is the one intangible that you can control every minute of every day.
“Weakness of attitude, becomes weakness of character”
FUEL
The number one necessity the body requires to perform at its optimum level. Without nutrients there’s no performance.
VISION
The eight muscles of the eye start the visual, cognitive and motor function processes. Reaction speed, peripheral awareness and decision making under pressure is what separates the good from the GREAT.
STRENGTH
SPT is sports movement training to become powerful. A thorough pre-hab regiment of arm care, mobility and agility exercises helps reduce the risk of injury. The STEEL modalities condition the athletes to be mentally tougher.
“Hanta Yo”
RESTORE
Replenishing the body & mind through sleep, re-gen, yoga and Fuel. Restore is the first step in preparing for the next game, practice or workout.
