It’s not every trainer who gets to develop a fitness regimen for a god. But Da Rulk is literally the personal trainer for Thor (as in Chris Hemsworth) and is responsible for the creation of Raw Functional Training, a method used by first responders, elite military, and professional athletes. In this episode of Health Theory with Tom Bilyeu, Da Rulk explains his training methods, discusses the importance of mental strength, and goes into great detail on how to build yourself back up from any injury.

Tom has big ears.
I`m a bit late to the party but he`s wearing nikes as a movement coach..? Cushion underneath your heals is the number 1 cause for lower back problems, chest spine weakness, overall bad posture, as well was neck issues….. Not trying to offend anyone! Kelly Starret is mentioning it several times. Just wear neutral shoes and many of your daily day by day problems will solve themselves!
This guy is NOT from Hawai’i. He throws up shaka’s and says “Ohana” and “Mahalo” and everyone thinks he’s from Hawai’i. Just curious as to why someone would claim to be from Hawai’i when he’s not. He was born and raised in Southern California. Read this article from 2008 about his dad who was an LAPD Detective. Nowhere in the article does it say anything about Hawai’i. If you follow the timeline in the article there was no time that the Sakoda family lived in Hawai’i.

It talks about how the dad learned “bushido values” character and integrity, respect for others, especially parents and older people. DO YOUR BEST, DON’T EVER GIVE UP”. Da Rulk learned it from his dad who learned it from his Japanese culture, not from an “old Hawai’i saying” like Da Rulk claims in this interview.
But all that aside, his workouts are crazy. Old-school football drills, mma exercises renamed with multiple technical terms for each exercise.
Honest Trailers voice is that you?
“I can control TRY!” Love this!
Impressive dude. Loved the flow of this interview
I think small simple steps are really the key of building a habit, building the momentum. Da Rulk's advice on don't overcomplicate things are very useful for anyone to be discipline, to stay committed. Thanks for the interview Tom.
In order to sustain doing something, you need to constantly remind yourself of its purpose.
He looks like Appa from Kim's convenience
I watched this video while doing my own workout.
Me: "…5, 6, 7, 8! Yeah! Eight reps!"
This guy: "….I lunged a whole mile…"
Me: 🙁
Can someone please contact me am looking for a trainer for my son He is a football player
"Push past what you think is possible." 🔥💪
Really like Da Rulk's mindset around fitness. This was a great interview.
This interview was the best Christmas present.
37:00 "Dude, we all need help."
That crawl exercise looks like a great challenge. Starting to incorporate it into my workouts
Anyone heard about Dr Joel Wallach? He talks about supplements and how It's not what you eat that kills you, it's what you don't eat. Does anyone has an opinion on this man and his researches?
Holy buzz words
My name is David Jonathan Hilow. I want David Goggins to train me.
There is so much more to the guy than meets the eye. Very strong interview. Thanks a lot.
