“Chop and Steele” are not actual “inspirational strongmen,” they aren’t going on tour, either. They have not booked a spot on America’s Got Talent.
They did, however, send out a press release to several local morning TV talk shows claiming all of those things. And three of the stations actually booked on-air demos.
The resulting strength and fitness demonstrations are both completely ineffective workouts, very dangerous and laugh-out-loud funny. Chop and Steele are the heroes we need.
