How To Be A Man: Strength

Manhood Tribes

In this episode of the Manhood Tribes podcast, we begin a series focused on understanding what it means for us to be men, with a special emphasis on strength as a fundamental aspect of manhood. We address the societal challenges in defining manhood and counter the notion that traditional masculinity should be disregarded.
Highlighting the '5 Marks of Manhood' – strength, courage, skill, honor, and allegiance, this episode dives deep into the concept of physical strength. We discuss how strength is not merely aesthetic but an essential component of manhood, deeply rooted in biology and necessary for our contributions to society.
We share our personal experiences to illustrate the importance of developing strength, no matter where we're starting from, and introduce a 'Manhood Challenge' segment aimed at encouraging us to engage in practical exercises to enhance our physical strength. The challenge we present is a 60-second pushup task, designed to help us measure and improve our strength over time.
