Rob Powell retired from competition as the undefeated and undisputed Four Time World Record Holder,
Four Time World Fitness/Condition Champion with over 150 Records.
Some have recently made false claims to his titles but have been discovered.

and live a richer, fuller life.

He feels he owes that to everyone who wants and needs his help as the title holder:

Rob began at a young age learning about the human mind and body and how each performs.
By the time he was in Jr. High School, he was using college textbooks on these subjects.
He then developed theories about training the mind and body together and developed a
completely different way to train.
His victories as a coach and athlete were not enough proof of his theories to the establishment.
That was when Rob decided to add 25% to the existing Guinness World Record and go for it.
The establishment couldn't ignore theories proven by fact and would have to deal with
these training methods.
In 2001 Rob was told by 3 doctors that the human body could not take
what he was attempting to do during the World Record attempts.
They even refused to be at his record attempts because of liability.
Of course that made Rob cautious and worried his brother.
His older sister died due to poor health at 47.
However, to prove his theories, breaking the record could help many people obtain better health
So despite all the doubt, fear and warnings. He had to go for it.
Being the first attempt many problems occurred.
He even had an upper respiratory infection on the day of competition.
After breaking the first World Record, the doctors said ''he is a freak of nature''.... possibly.
After breaking The World Record four times and leading others through the WFC events,
the doctors and the establishment had to deal with a new reality.
Now textbooks are being rewritten because we know the human body
is capable of much more than previously thought possible, if it is trained properly.
That proper training is now called The WFC Workout.
Rob is no longer accepting offers for MMA Fights.
November 2011 was his last discussion about fighting.
They backed down when they found out Rob would come out of retirement if his price was paid.
They asked Rob for fights, he never asked them.
Rob always said, "if I have to fight and hurt someone in a cage for entertainment, it won't be cheap."
All he wants to do now is go back to coaching, teaching and personal training at the gym.
He likes helping young athletes their parents and grandparents.
He wants to pass on what he has learned about athletic performance and winning.
Occasionally, Rob participates in athletic events for charity.
He likes hiking, running, riding, swimming, climbing, canoeing and camping.
He also likes to workout in an effort to stay fit and set a good example.
With his titles he feels he owes that to the public.
Rob says...
"We will all end our days in this world.
The only thing we leave behind is our story.
Make yours a good one that can help others better their lives.
That's a life worth living and a life worth remembering."
