I’ve ran this site since last September — for free. I don’t know if yous guys know that. In the past nine months, this website has consumed more of my time than anything else. I bet I spent more time working on it than I did training. Sometimes it’s painstakingly hard to think of something to post when it’s 10:00 PM the night before, but some how I’ve managed to pull something out of my ass on a regular basis.
I like to think that I’ve had a nice blend of humor and entertainment. The only thing I really care about it is teaching people to get stronger and subsequently healthier (among other things). That’s the whole purpose of this site. So if I have to put up a YouTube video of my friends or me dancing like fools to get you to read some of the serious/helpful stuff, then I’ll do it (I have more of these videos, by the way).
Anyway, with that being said, here is my shameless plug for some new services that are available, Online Programming, Programming Consultations, and 70’s Big Workshops. You can read about them here, or click on the Services tab at the top of the page.
The Online Programming will net you a new best friend (me) and a training program. I will not sing you lullabies. The Consultations are those who don’t want a new best friend, but want to talk on the phone once t hash out a program. The Workshops are a traveling whacky inflatable sideshow and educate people on all kinds of things about training. You can read about them in more depth on the Servicespage.
Now that that’s settled, here is an obligatory European techno/electro/dance video that includes half of a 70’s Big guy with a sick beard. Warning: intense flexing and confusing images ahead. Watch the whole thing if you really want to be confused.

I wish I could un-watch that, but I can’t. Thanks for everything you do Justin.
Happy Canada Day to everyone here in the north.
Ha I laughed really hard this.
–A.C.
Haha hilarious vid. Justin, Gant, AC, Brent, Justin, Justin, and everyone else I haven’t mentioned who contribute to this site thank you. You guys put a lot of hard work into this and it deserves some praise.
Get big, get 70’s big.
happy Canada day!
Leave it to the Germans to make something this fucked up.
Justin,
Thanks for everything you do on this site! Another idea to make some moolah is to just have a donate button. Some of us have our programming under control, but might want to give thanks just because.
Roger.

That dude in the video is on roids. I’m down with the beard and hair though.
Woah Woah Woah Woah Woah . . . Woah . . . Woah . . . Woah Woah . . . Woah . . . Thats not my batman cup, and I’m not sure if there is room on this site for TWO guys with initials as names.
–A.C.
Thanks Justin, Brent, AC, and Gant and all others that contribute to the site. I like it more and more everyday.
I’m with Midohu throw a donate button on the site. I’d donate to keep this site going onward. Hell I think I could without some burgers for a couple of days to know that I’d get a laugh everyday on this site.
I check the site every day.
I appreciate the useful advice and no nonsense approach to getting stronger.
I am getting stronger on linear progression and I am happy with that.
Good luck with the new services.
Awesome video; the highlight of my week thus far.
That guy looks like a poor man’s John Matuszak…a real 70’s Big guy.
I’m thankful to all those responsible for keeping this site so active and full of incredible FREE information. Justin, you deserve all the success in the world.
Weird question, and this idea stolen from the world of “free” open source software, but what would you think about accepting donations to keep the site up? I’m sure hosting isn’t free ;) Just food for thought…
Yeah that guy looks like he is using juice, but he obviously doesnt squat so whats the point? Huge traps i guess. He and Brent should get together and SHRUG LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER!
This made me laugh really hard. God, I hate Brent.
–Justin
Have you looked into ways to monetize the site at all? Surely you could get some kind of referral fee for sending traffic to suppliers of good gear or at least sell some banners. I don’t think any of us would mind seeing some ads to keep the site free and get some money in your pocket for the trouble.
I’m going to guess you’re getting 1200 or so pageviews a day to a ridiculously targeted and well defined audience which is definitely worth something to advertisers.
In the spirit of the video in today’s post, here’s 70’s Big All Star Mikhail Koklyaev showing off some of his other talents:
Thank god you guys are doing consults now – this rash has really been freaking me out.
I heard you can take penicillin for that.
–Justin
Moral of this story: avoid drinking alone in abandoned warehouses, lest ye be terrorised by a cult of all-singing, all-dancing, white-clad fitness enthusiasts and eventually imprisoned by their evil wizard leader in the bio-dome inside your mind. Nuff said.
Thankyou for bringing us this timely public service announcement, 70s Big.
Actually, it could be worse, i suppose. Could’ve been Pauly Shore.
@Jacob
I don’t want to say i told you so, but that’s what happens when you share towels with Brent, dude. Not like i’m speaking from experience or anything, but the next stage could involve some festering sores – just giving you a heads up.
One of my goals is to have Paulie Shore on this website.
–Justin
Is that Brent at 1:48?
I just wana say, some illegal things, but I can’t.
@A.C.
One day, when you least expect it, I’m gonna change my username to A.B. (my initials) and it’s gonna rock your whole damn world, dude.
PS. Are you really 6’8″?!
hahahahahah
–Justin
Yes, me and my wiener.
–A.C.
I want to give you my money, Justin. However, I recently spent a bunch of money on the WFAC seminar, so I see that as indirectly supporting you. Stay tuned for more of my money when I am not broke.
Also, I too would like to un-watch the video.
Since the first day this site was risen to life, I have looked forward to checking it each morning. Justin, I thank you for this joy. You put a name to my goals. I knew what I wanted to achieve,but did not really know how to define them to others…until 70’s Big emerged.
I would be a little lost without your guidance and info, looking up to my dad Big Chris (who is younger than me), being jealous of A.C. s retard strength and good looks (minor homo), striving to barely stay ahead of my fellow strong asian Brent’s squat/dl/bench (lets leave the O lifts out of this), and being scared of Gant because he is a strong, black belt Judoka, lawyer, and that is truly frightening.
In other words, thanks. I just might have to bug you about a consult for this odd rash I got from Jacob (no homo?). And programming of course.
Jacob gets around.
–Justin
Nothing pleases me more than to be called a handsome guy with retard strength. You da man.
–A.C.
AC’s actually only 6’7 and 1/4. The other 3/4 are added when he’s wearing his lifting shoes.
I wear the heel only to look bigger.
–A.C.
I hereby nod my head and tip my cap to your attempt to charge for services.
I rarely post, but check this site every day and have read all back posts going back to the beginning. Love the site, would be happy to click a donate button, and also encourage the selling of a little ad-space… Especially links to reputable suppliers of quality equipment. Or at least a place I could get some wicked supplement stacks.
Have Brent write an e-book on his shrug program and charge $40 per download.
Well, I put a Donate button the left side of the screen.
And Brent, I’m sure, will be hard at work on his Shrug E-book.
When did Roger Estep, http://www.70sbig.com/?s=Roger+Estep, start singing in a German EuroDance Group?
Brent, you should see if you could get Bill Starr to write a forward to your shrug E-book…http://startingstrength.com/articles/strong_traps_starr.pdf
Just wanted to also say thanks to the whole 70’s Big Crew for providing this excellent venue. Justin, you could raise your t-shirt prices a little as well. There are some places that charge 40 bucks for t-shirts and people shell it out without thinking twice.(I’m not saying to make them 40 bucks, but you could charge a few extra bucks without hurting anybody.) How about pitching a TV show, like the Biggest Gainer?
Also, met a 70’s Big lurker here at Fort Benning in my Pathfinder class! If you’re reading this, you know who you are!
Have Brent make more posts imo. You do churn out a shitload of great content for free, but nobody wants you to burn out. I think you should get some more writers.
If I let Brent run things, half of the commentors would have their accounts deleted when I got back.
–Justin
Its gonna be a BIG weekend. John Wayne marathon on AMC all weekend long! Bad ass!
Services, t-shirts, or ads along the margins. Do whatever it takes to make it worthwhile for you and keep the new content flowing at a steady pace. Keep up the great work.
@Justin
“God, I hate Brent.”
This made ME laugh out loud!
@A.C.
And that little bit of heel just accentuates your long legs, too. Stunning.
Seriously, though, I’d shit myself if I ran into a guy your size (with retard strength) in a dark alley. Even if you are only 6′ 7 1/4″….
Ha I am only 5’11.
–A.C.
Hahaha, you bastards – it figures, I always was gullible.
So you never quite made it to 6′, eh? That’s unlucky, 5′ 11″ just doesn’t quite have the same ring to it, does it….?
How about selling 70s big moustache combs? Just make sure the hipster doofuses don’t get their hands on them.
Right on, now I’m pumped up ready to hit my PR’s today! I wish I could rig that video to play on an endless loop on the TV’s in front of the treadmills at the Gym.
Not gonna lie, I thought the video was gonna turn into a really bad porn, especially with the blond guy coming out the door… but your humor and time to 70s Big is greatly appreciated, nonetheless! :))
