Tank Lost His Hearing, His Body, and Himself — Then Rebuilt All Three | Strong Talk | Men's Health

Tank is 50, jacked, and still takes his shirt off in front of stadiums. But sudden hearing loss wrecked one ear for good, and months of steroids and the first depression of his life followed. On Strong Talk, he lays out the comeback: asking trainer John Gaines for help, pushing through eight months of grinding two-a-days, and a gym approach with no barbell squats or bench. Plus his backstage push-up ritual, why he guards his sleep on tour, and what he'd tell any man facing a setback.
